Don't get cocky..... | Send Design

I was pretty full of myself last week.....bragging about how I managed to get 3 post written. Well this is a lesson on not getting too full of yourself cause look at me now.

Wednesday. 5 days of nothing. Yep....not feeling too cocky now. The truth of the matter is I might have just a few too many "irons in the fire" as they say.

I'm not complaining, but between you and me....I think those clothes are STILL in the dryer.

I'm so excited about the fireplace mantel and surround. It is awesome and they LOVE it! I am waiting for the room to be painted before I show you the finished image. I can be mean like that sometime.

As I said, this house was built in the 80's.....think Jane Fonda and leggings.

Since she has [the client, not Jane Fonda] 4 kids we concentrated on small updates in the bathrooms first. Can you say carpet......yuk????

Yep. Dark green tile.

This is her only daughters room.

We had the tile guy dig out that green stripe and replace with black [not grouted yet]

Easy fix.

One of the boys bathrooms. There was already 1/2 of the room with this white tile and it came from Home Depot....so just matched it. To the left of the toilet was just wasted space. We did this...

It is the perfect toilet paper holder. What???? You say it is a little large for that? OK...we will throw in some towels too.

This is the kids playroom.

Bookcases....window seat. New carpet. Beadboard on the walls.

Mudroom/laundry room. There was a fridge in this hole. Ugly tile floor.

This is how the hole came to live a long and full life. She made herself useful!

Whoops...when I like something....the same "honed" slate tile. We have great plans for this room but I need your help on this one problema.....look to the right...that huge window.

What to put in there.....some thoughts....

cafe curtains...some pretty topiaries? She said she does NOT have a green thumb. But I said...please. The faucet is right there. Just give them a squirt every now and then.

Now...this is where I need your HELP! I told them to remove this island right now, especially since they are having the floors redone. Take the hardwood all the way in the kitchen. NOW. You must tell her also.....please help a sister out.

Begging here.

Think of the dust and disruption if they save this until after they move in. I have some great plans on how to fix this kitchen that I will share with you.

This is the kind of stuff I obsess over. Sleepless nights thinking about this one little issue. Dreaming of going over there and doing it myself.

Without permission. But he is a lawyer. Might through my ass in jail.

That would really ruin my "no jail so far streak".......
