s has been delayed in his departure & he is here with us for seven more days so we decided to take advantage of our unplanned time together & try out new things. mainly, he’s been cookin’ in the kitchen. we’re making this tomorrow night. this blog is my new favorite thing..

work & life have been cRaZy. all projects have taken up twice as much time as normal & the children in my house seemed to have multiplied over night. finally, here’s an update on one of my current projects, which i call, a family affair. we are just finishing off their large basement fit out & upstairs public spaces (living, dining, kitchen, & keeping room). more pictures to follow this week- think grass cloth, built ins, & shades of green. these shots are mid project

notes: lamps on kitchen actually go into the dining room, major changes in kitchen include adding in hanging large industrial pendants, the bar has a large piece of granite going on top, and the lights are being changed for smaller scale ones

oh its been months & months since i’ve been faithful to anything: my diet, my trainer, or my blog. but i’m truly getting back on track. this weekend i’m off to tate city with clients & family, hoping to replinish my spirit & my soul (or just drink loads of wine & be silly with friends).

upon my return, i promise to be a good blogger with L O A D S of yummy posts that will make you want to devour design once again … and maybe just maybe my new look will be up & i’ll have a fresh blog to blog on …

until then,
think of me fondly
xoxo

i’m 30 & not too happy about it (more on that subject later when i pull myself out of this depression) but i did want to share my beautiful breakfast in bed ( o’connor family tradition on birthdays) served by my sweet husband & girls on our wedding china (the man knows me well) & this gorgeous quote from my friend & client, MS, which almost brightened my ever gloomy 30th birthday

“may your thirties make your twenties look like a dress rehearsal…”
