Adamsleigh show house

It is with great pleasure that I share with you a recent illustration for The Junior League Show House.

The Adamsleigh show house shall be open for touring from April 20th to May 5th, Greensboro, NC.
I would like to thank Lisa Mende and Traci Zeller for thinking of me to capture this very special home and project.
Many talented designers are coming together to leave their mark.

monday motivation - break time

I don't know about you but once the school year starts, I always must remind myself to find the time for a break.  It seems before I know it, the school day is nearly over and I have been rushing around to meet a deadline or finish a project.

It might be something as simple as taking time for a glass of water with lemon or it might even be the time to read.  I love this cozy nook designed by Melissa Warner Interior design, with the painting of the bus.  Although my daughter does not live far enough away from the middle school to require the bus, it does remind me to stop and take a break.   Even 15 minutes can be very motivating.  Do you take breaks during the day?

post the love

Did you ever post your love on your hand

a tree

or

or where you live?

Did you see this article.

Can you post the love you have?

I dedicate the month of February to love.

Jennifer Post is all about professing her love for white, for clean and minimal color

Sheathed in a select black or white wardrobe....

While such an extraordinarily edited existence may not be for everyone, it is what Jennifer Post design professes. Love takes passion and commitment.

Join me, post the love this February.

September shelves

September is a time to come back indoors and re-group.

For some of us, September symbolizes a fresh start.

Open shelves or cubbies remind me of school"lockers."

Remember the excitement of having your very own locker?

Open shelves can be quite practical, especially when it comes to reaching for things one uses on a daily basis. It certainly seems to work for Ina. I do love a combination of open and closed shelves.

Having had lunch here on a warm Summer day, I admired the counter and the open shelves too.

There is something practical and efficient about open shelves. See them on the wall?

Book cases are a perfect solution for a room divider. Line them up and add your own collection of books, baskets, and then get to work!

Tell me, anything exciting on your shelf this September?
