Thanks for all of your comments on Annie's place! I love putting together rooms and working with what people have.....maybe it takes the pressure off starting from scratch and then wondering if you made the right decisions:)
I am also wondering if I will ever have a finished project again! With everything being delayed half done rooms are kind of the norm around here.....
UGH.....kind of takes the fun out of it when I go to order something and it's quoted as coming in late 2022....
But I am sure all of this is considered 1st world problems!
I posted some books on Instagram and somebody asked me to suggest a few of my favorites. I thought I would give you selections of some I have and some I plan on ordering.
They can all be found on Amazon.
I plan on ordering the first 2 [Ray Booth and Brian Paquette]
I have Marie Flanigan's and The White book but the other 2 look like some I might enjoy!
I also have James Michael Howards book [Phoebe Howards husband] and Andrew Howards [their son]
book.....both of which I love!
I need to order Melanie Turners book because I am a huge fan of her work as well as Ashley Whittaker's book.
AND....if you are renovating a kitchen this year you will love Matthew Quinn's new book on beautiful kitchens!
That one is NOT sold on Amazon but you can purchase it here
Your welcome!
So I went to a party last Saturday night and I was trying to figure out what to wear. Last spring my neighbor gave me a gift certificate for my birthday to a great store here in Buckhead called the London Trading Co. Anne and I went together because she thought she could control what I bought....she should know me better than that:)
Anyway.....as soon as we went in I saw this tulle skirt in the window. Unfortunately it was the only one and a size 6 which is clearly NOT my size but I made them take it down anyway so I could try it on:)
I can be stubborn like that. Anne was busy throwing things in the dressing room for me to try on but I wasn't having it. I have always wanted a tulle skirt and I was picturing myself looking like SJP in SATC walking down the street looking so very cute....haha
Guess what.....it must have been mis-marked because it fit. Anne scowled and said....
"Are you really getting that?"
Me: "Yup."
Anne: "Where will you wear it?"
Me: "To your house for dinner.....every night."
Well it has been hanging in my closet and when I realized I might have someplace to wear it I started trying on things that might go with!
This try on session was early that morning so I had not even washed my face yet:)
It just goes to show you that a tulle or just a black skirt can be so versatile! Plus here is another small tip....the crystal button was in the back but I just wore the skirt backwards....hahaha
Anyway it was fun and I did feel like a party girl.
I am on the LTK app now [sherryhdesigns] and I try to link everything from my OOTD's that I post on Instagram stories!
If I could figure out how to link it I would....but I am sure you guys can figure it out :)
So there you have it....Christmas gifts and party outfits!
