THIS AND THAT

OK....here I am and I will try something new.....

I will do all of my gabbing first and then add the pictures in no particular order:)

I would not say I am a perfectionist but some things irk me...that being when I am trying to do something and IT WON"T WORK.....she said loudly:)

Since we last spoke I went to Bluffton to see my brother.  Such a cute little town.  My sister, brother-in-law and I drove down to celebrate all of our birthdays together.

Mine being March 4th, my sisters is March 27 and my brother's is April 15th.  We had a great time and a wonderful dinner.

We sure laughed a lot at my brother...he lives in a gated community and every time he goes through the gate he has a 10 minute convo with the guard.  [Like he is the mayor or something] I mean....what the heck.  He said I am not friendly and he never knew that about me.  I said....that I have too many friends already to have a conversation every time I go through the gate.  I would just slide down in the car seat and run right through....

This drink was amazing at the restaurant.  It was called the Garden Gnome....

I drank 2 ....and then danced on the bar....

Ha Ha not really but I wanted to!

On Sunday before we left we went down to Palmetto Bluff for lunch.  

We were really missing Nancy :(

Dinner attire!

A few catch ups with some projects I am working on....

I found this amazing lamp and could not be happier....believe me I had given way too much thought about what I wanted and almost gave up and ordered something new.  Then one day I was at my favorite flea market Antiques and Beyond....and BAM....there it was!

And again after WAY TOO MUCH discussion with Rose about a rug for this room I finally settled on this one and it was perfect.

Why do I overthink everything????

Rose and I have been working on refreshing a kitchen showroom and it is really coming together....

This was the before.....

Kapow!

And there you have it!  I have some wonderful pictures of the Southeastern Showhouse

If you are local....you must go!  It is open Thursday-Sunday.

I promise I will post soon!

SOME PRETTY WALLPAPER AND A SMALL BEFORE AND AFTER

Hey.....whats up y'all?  Man oh man...all of my design friends have gone to Highpoint and of course watching everything they post has me pretty jealous!

If I was better at managing my time maybe I would have gone but I am a little behind with work and invoicing so I think it's best I hang here.....

I am determined to go in the fall.....bets on that  anyone...haha.

I did get an email from Thibaut about some of their new wallpapers and I have to tell you they are the best at putting out "pretty"....

As we all know I am not a color person but I can really appreciate it when I see it!

The one above is neutral enough for me....

And this is so pretty!

You can't go wrong with blue:)

I think this might be my favorite!

Love the texture of this one....

You will have to let me know which one is your favorite....

Rose and I have been busy helping to restyle a kitchen showroom.....you know edit and get rid of all the old accessories!  I have been posting some before and afters on Instagram....

Here is the before....

With the after we painted the wall with the 2 cabinets on it to bring the eye up....then took all the accessories off the top and just added a large dark pot on each side....

We removed a pillow on each side but we actually have some pretty new pillows coming...

The wall with the 3 mirrors on it was also painted dark and we added some black and white art!

These make such a better impact!

Y'all it took me 40 minutes to add these pictures....so frustrated with blogger.....I think that is why I have a hard time blogging now...not sure what to do.  Ugh.

I really miss sitting down and sharing....I will do some googling and see what the heck is going on cause this is driving me bonkers....

There is road rage and then there is "blog rage"....which is milder but still making me want to drink and cuss.....
