The told us to give our best "Christmas morning" expressions...
(Apparently, Santa leaves me shockingly good presents under the tree.)
I met Grant Harris (who's next to me on the cover) the day of our shoot & he is honestly the best dressed guy I've ever met in "real life." Grant writes Image Granted, a menswear blog & runs a menswear consulting firm. I can't wait to have him meet my husband & work his magic. (I actually love how Dave dresses but I know Grant will make it even better = good-and-not-a-surprise-for-him- Christmas gift ;) ;)
Also inside are gift guides by Jenna Golden of Eat More Drink More and Elizabeth Fassbender of So Much to Smile About, and Grant & me. I was selected to pick out the children's gifts. (Which is really funny to me, because as most of you know, I'm more into kids toys that look good if left on the floor rather than toys that kids are really into;) ;) But seriously.... no, I'm serious.
I'll be sure to share more about my kids' gift ideas sometime after Thanksgiving... I found some ones that I think most kids would looove (and of course, more importantly ;) ;) .. that you won't mind seeing strewn about your house.)

No devil eyes in that photo! Congrats to you. Your new house is gorgeous and it's so fun following along on all your progress.
ReplyDeleteLauren, agree with another poster...the barstools are Perfect! And wanted you to know I recently saw the same stool for re-sale and they were going for around $1K each!!! Apparently they are sought after, highly collectible, and since I believe they may have come with your kitchen, for they are in the "before" photos, wanted to share that with you (although as a decorator you probably know that, however, in the event you were not aware)! I absolutely LOVE everything you are doing with your home and look forward to each new progress report.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover! You look FANTASTIC!!!
