{We braved Black Friday - not bad at all, very odd- and found these cute little boots from Gap Kids}
We finally finished raking our yard and I got in a few pics of the boys:
{Christian, 4 and Justin- almost 2!}
I took a complete break from work, which was really nice, but I couldn't help going back to look at pics of some of our recent installs from last week... Here's a mid-stage pic of one of my favorite rooms as we were moving everything in:
(The curtains are LL Textiles Live Paisley in Gold and I wish the were in my house :)
My client made a last-minute color switch on the walls & they turned out to be too pink. We're going back to our original color which will be a cream. {She had a color from one brand reproduced in another brand and it didn't come out perfectly to match the swatch... } {I'd love to hide all of the not-so-smooth details from you to make it all seem perfect, but just keepin' it real & hopefully it'll help someone with being exrta careful about switching paint brands/ paint matching.} This room is definitely going to be one of my favorite rooms we've ever done when we're finished. My clients have the coolest style (she's traditional, he's a bit more edgy- so the mix is perfect) and I'm in love with the room.
Anyway, I'm off for the day to a master bedroom installation. I'll be sure to share some peeks!! Hope your Thanksgiving was special!!

I totally agree with you on paint brands not matching up. I had a color mixed in Sherwin Williams Harmony formula and then their Superpaint and they were drastically different. The Harmony gave a muddier color and the Superpaint was clean and bright.
Good luck! It's looking good!
The curtains look awesome, and can't wait to see where you position the bamboo/rattan chair...I have one on my radar but not sure where it would 'go'. Looking forward to all the pics!!
*** Of COURSE this will look wonderful, Lauren... anything you do always DOES!!! (And your fabrics are truly FAB!!!)...
Annnnnd, I couldn't BELIEEEVE how much (and fast!) your PRECIOUS boys have been GROWING!!! (Have you picked out the font yet, for their graduation announcements?!?!?!?!? Grins~)...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
It's looking great! I'm glad you and your family had such a lovely Thanksgiving. :)
It's looking amazing! I love the chair...really! The feel of the room so far and did I say that I love the chair..lol.
Can't wait to see more and I am in love with that chair!
Love those curtains in LL fabric!! They are awesome. And I love the keepin' it real details - keep 'em coming!!
I am a paint color consultant and I always counsel my clients not to take a Sherwin Williams color and have Home Depot match it. One of my paint color instructors told our class that when using a particular brand of paint, that brand's paint store has the probability of only getting it 97% correct. So imagine what happens when you mix brands!!!
Curtains look beautiful but don't hold a candle next to the cutness of those darling little boys:)
Your Fabric is so amazingly beautiful. Interesting to me about the color switch. Sounds like they not only switched brands but switched colors? I am a color consultant for Sherwin Williams and the most difficult thing is when clients won't listen to the experience of a color consultant.Isn't this one of the reasons why to hire a designer(costly mistake not to listen!). Can't wait to see the finished room. I do like the keeping it real side of your posts.
Love to see your beautiful kids - looks like Justin is getting a smoosh attack there. xo
Love the drapes...your peanuts are adorable!!!
I had a client do that also - we had chosen a lovely gray-blue for her dining room, then the client had it mixed at a box store instead). The walls came out gray-purple! I about died - especially when the same thing happened in another room before, with a different color. Ooch.
cute kids!:)
i really like the different patterns in the room
