I hate having my picture taken.
Hate it with a passion.
My nose is too big, I wish my lips were bigger,
my face is too round.
Etc etc etc etc….
I have a running joke that says….
“Don;t be jealous, but I can still wear the same earrings
I wore in high school.”
😀
Anyway – I have to tell the photographer –
(God bless her soul for being so patient with me
and my whining and whimpering during the photo shoot)
– which two pics I want to take to my audition.
My husband tells me to use this one, my friends say another….
I have to select two by tomorrow morning!
Here is the one I personally think I should use…
hee hee
Anyway – the one at the top is #1.
Here is #2…
Here is #3…
Please help me decide!!!
Also, I know I promised pics of my pheasant feather
projects…but it got dark before I had chance to take
them tonight.
So, I will post them tomorrow night…
but tonight I wanna share with you the Master Bedroom
I just finished decorating TODAY for my client.
I am exhausted!
Introducing The Grifaldo Bedroom…
Urban Traditional in Chocolate and Sage.
She found the bedding at HomeGoods and chose the
green for her walls.
We bought new drapes, new accent pillows and a new throw.
New accessories included the glass and nickel lamps,
new frames for her family pics, and some smaller silver
items such as the bird and clock.
She already had the wooden box above with the
silk arrangement. It had an old (I should say ancient – lol)
silk fern in it. I ripped removed the old greenery and
added assorted grasses and stems of orchids. She already
had the Monogrammed Lamps, but was using them on
her bedside tables.
(Perfect example of great accessories, wrong placement)
They were too small in that location, but they fit perfectly
on her dresser.
I went “Home Shopping” and found these assorted
candles and holders.
She chose the wall quote above…and it took maybe 15 minutes
to apply. She wanted something simple above her bed instead
of artwork. I love how the drapes frame the bed and the quote.
So….that is my most recent design job. It feels good to be
back in the saddle again. It f was wonderful rediscovering
my love for designing and decorating. Accept my back says…
“hey mama, you could have started out slower…like a small
powder room.” LOL
Going off to medicate and relax.
May you rediscover the passions which
make you happy…Barb
