rainy days

September 19, 2009  |  bedroom, interiors  |  No Comments
First of all, I wish I was still curled up in the bed on this rainy Saturday. Comfy sheets and a good movie sound really inviting right now. But since that’s not an option, I will move on…
For those of you who asked & emailed me about my last post, here we go:
 the shams & sheets are from Pine Cone Hill. I ordered them via Layla Grace
the sheets are the Genevieve Ivory & shams are the Louisa Ivory Pillows
There are a lot of sites + stores that carry Pine Cone Hill, but the ladies at Layla Grace are so sweet, and helpful to work with. The company is in California, but they offer free shipping. BIG plus!!

Rug Down + Curtains Up

September 14, 2009  |  bedroom, home, interiors  |  8 comments

It is all coming together. As we all know the “design process” is always slow and evolving. It is never finished, you can never really “check” it off your list, if you know what I mean. That keeps it fun and exciting, right? It is a test of our true patience, at least for me. After 4 weeks of waiting, waiting, waiting, and improvising in crazy ways (like having a box top act as a curtain in my bathroom window) it getting there. 


Today, the rug went down…

and thanks to my Mom (who is a total saint), the curtains went UP!

She is totally convinced that “Phil the curtain man” (who hangs curtains for her on her jobs in Auburn is totally worth the arm+leg that he charges). And quote, “she would not do it for a million dollars”. Like “Phil the curtain man”, other workers of the trade at our house are more commonly referred to like this: first name + task they complete. For example; Bob the painter, Jason the rug man, Kris the sewer, and Joe the tub man. Now back on topic. The fabric is Kravet. It was steal (27 yards) from mom’s friend Mrs. Patty. She really made my day because full price for this was NOT really going to fly!

The hardware I really wanted from Anthropologie was on backorder for forever. Curtains lying folder on the floor do not do much good. But I scored an equally satisfying option from the grand ole’ Target. Best part being that the price was SUPER cheap! The rings, by Umbra, were even on sale

So, with the rug down, curtains hung, and bed made…It is finally getting there. For now this pillow is calling my name. Five o’clock this morning was a long, long time ago. Night!
