A Little Teaser

Hello everyone!  I hope you have all had a wonderful new year so far.  Mine has been great!  I've had so many exciting things going on at my house and thought I'd share some of them with you:

1)  As you know, the Hubs and I started our own law practice last month.   It has been stressful and has taken a lot of hard work, but I can happily say that we finally have things rolling.  And, thanks to Laurel-Dawn of Abode Love, we have now begun to heavily market ourselves. For those of you who are not familiar with her, she is an extremely talented graphic designer, blogger, and home-stylist with whom we had the pleasure of working.  Here is a peek at the business logo she created for us:

Isn't it great?!? We couldn't be more pleased with the final product! 

2) I have gotten more decorating done around the house!! For the last 2+ years, the Hubs and I have had a blah room to sleep in.  So, when we moved this time, I made our bedroom a priority.  We were given some beautiful pieces for Christmas and also purchased some items on our own. 

First, my in-laws got this beautiful mirrored chest, which is identical to one I was using as a foyer table before.  

Then, my brother and sister in-law bought us the Ikea Malm Dresser.  I plan on adding some beautiful knobs to it like these or these in matte gold.

Finally, we ordered 6 panels of ivory drapes from IO Metro (which are back-ordered until March) and this beauty:

The chandy arrived last week, and we the Hubs spent the weekend trying to install it.  I say the weekend because it was not an easy process.  We had a remote controlled fan hanging over our bed before, so the wiring was a little more complex than anticipated.  Here are some action shots:

There you have it!  That was my January in a nutshell.  Later,  I will be sharing stuff from other parts of my house that are in major need of some design TLC.   Stay tuned!

It's Been a Long Time

I have been so super busy and haven't had the time (or the Internet connection) to blog.  We moved at the beginning of November and my husband and I have started our own law practice.  We are slowly getting things going with that, but in the meantime, I've been decorating up a storm at our place.  I don't have one room completely finished - though, I'm not sure I ever will!  My decorating ADHD seems to always get the best of me (much to my husband's chagrin).  Anyways, here is a sneak peak of our living room...

The couch and pillows were mine before the Hubs and I got married.  We haven't ventured out to buy anything new yet, but that is honestly way down on the list to do.  I posted about the trellis rug here.  The ottoman was a Home Goods score that my mother bought for me as a birthday gift.  Thanks, Mom!  We are replacing the throw with a pretty teal one that is currently stored away.  I thought it would help bring out the beautiful shades of blue in the DIY art gallery (I'll share more about that project later).  And, as you can see, we don't have window treatments, so those will have to be purchased sometime in the near future. 

I've obviously got some work left to do and will be posting my progress as I go along.
