sewing & painting

It's a cool, beautiful October Sunday.



Sewing & painting is very therapeutic.. I have a pumpkin spice candle lit, football in the background.. it's one of those perfect fall afternoons.

space of the day

How could I NOT do a space of the day from Lonny Mag? I know, I know... this picture is all over the place, but sorry. I love it!



That office space is perfect, and it leaves me considering the ikea office chair + ikea faux fur rug as an alternative option to this:



On a side note, King Charles Spaniels are my favorite dogs ever. Unfortunately, I most likely will never have one because they are so extremely expensive... I just can't pay for a designer dog when so many "mutts" out there need to be saved. And, again unfortunately, it's rare to find a King Charles rescue in good health.

I do, however, love my little "knock off" version of a King Charles Spaniel:



She was a rescue and is a spaniel-breed mutt, yet still has the same precious eyes and temperament of the real thing :)

Happy Weekend!!

A Busy Weekend!

Good news - both my bryn alexandra interiors projects are coming along nicely and we are getting very close to the end! Right now I'm in the accessories/shopping stage which, I won't lie, is such a blast. I am becoming a regular at Home Goods :) Unfortunately (for my husband) my weekend are no longer weekends, but this is what I love so I wouldn't trade it for the world. And it just means I'm getting a little bit closer to the future where I can do this full time.

A little glimpse at my weekend to do's...

- Spray paint a chair and bring to the upholster
- Finish painting and poly-ing a tall dresser
- Finish painting and poly-ing a desk
- Purchase drawer pulls (Rest Hardware)
- Shop for jute rugs
- HUGE Ikea shopping trip!
- Client meeting on Sunday

I'm also going to the LA Fashion District tomorrow morning. I'm hoping my local readers can help me out on this one...

Does anyone know if there is a large selection of upholstery fabric at the LA Fashion District?

I'm worried I will drive all the way up to LA (about an hour and a half) to find it's only clothing fabric. Thanks in advance!
