THIS AND THAT

I hate to sound like a broken record but it does seem like I am getting less done lately. I forgot how much time I used to have to fluff up my house and think about decorating "before the new puppy". I mean it's hard to accessorize when everything has to be put up high out of "destroy range".

It must be like having a toddler around so hats off to all of you mothers....I am amazed that you can style something and have time to photograph it.

Not happening around here.

Yesterday I was talking with a new client about her renovation and I guess I kept saying "all white....clean....fresh" a little too much and at the end of my conversation she said "but could we add a little color?"

Ha ha....no! JK.

I sent her these pictures from my friend designer Cristi Holcombe Interiors and taken by photographer Christina Wedge.

Nice white kitchen but adding some color with fabric.

Same here....but adding color with that great blue vanity!

And a green one this time....

Go take a look at more of this project.

My neighbor threw away her outdoor pillows because they were yucky and moldy. I scooped those suckers up and took them home.

Proof.

I put them in the washer [insert and all] with outdoor bleach purchased from Home Depot. Added some detergent and put the setting on heavy duty. After the first wash they were 85% clean. I ran it through once more with NO detergent....just bleach.
