Damage Control

I love Damages!!! We tivo it, and whatched the episode last night, "She spat on me". Afterwards we talked about it for about 45 minutes. I don't want it to be over! It is soooo good!
So, yesterday was a dreary day, very fitting, but so depressing. I have to say that every year that goes by I am relieved that nothing as horrid has occured. Thank God, and God bless the USA!
On yet another note, I am following a meal plan this week. So far so good. And I ran my second mile yesterday on the treadmill. It is a huge accomplishment for me as I haven't worked out since highschool. And I was NEVER a runner!. So far I have lost 5 lbs. I am on my way. Today I am doing strength training. It is a beautiful day to also go for a walk with the kids, perhaps to the playground.
Speaking of kids, is anyone familiar with Montessouri? From what I have read it sounds fabulous!
Time to get outside, the kids are melting down!!!!

My Room

So, that's basically it. There would be a pair of the "Brooks" Chair from Pottery Barn,around the Area & Co, "Agnes" Table, over the William Sonoma "Iron Gate" Rug, with draperies from Sumptuous Silk, and to top it off this chandelier from Ballard Designs, (with silk shades ofcourse). And last but not least, a framed plasma, by Frame My TV that will probably sit above the electric firplace flanked by beautiful built in bookcases.

Room For Change

So, in case you didn't know, I have a backround in Interior Design. You wouldn't know it by looking at that last post. As an excuse I will say designing for yourself is the hardest, especially with caviar taste, a beer budget, two kids and no time. Anyway after reading a post on Exotic Fabrics by Jennifer over at The Peak Of Chic, I was inspired, or should I say, I became obsessed! I decided to design a room around this fabric, "Kipling" by Lee Jofa. So, I decided to put it on this "Presidio" couch by William Sonoma. My next post will include the basics in the room, more seating, coffee table, media storage, and bookcases, ect. Then rug, curtains and lighting. Finally, accesories.

Progress, Not Perfection

So, this is where I am at. It doesn't look like much but it is serious progress. I need to put the boxes under the bed, hang the pictures, and find storage for the rest of the stuff. I hung the shelf all by myself! Does anyone else save boxes to wrap gifts in? I think I save too many. Where am I supposed to keep them? I almost forgot, we are pulling the stuff out of the closet and filling it with shelves, so that's where they will go. I think if I want that project done I will have to do it myself. Ugh. Can I build it? Yes I can!
