The addition of anything "warm" is very pleasing to me. I am extremely cold natured which is why I take a hoodie and socks with me to the movie theater! Sitting in the sun or watching the sun beams dance across a room will pretty much always make me happy. I am not sure if yellow is my best color, but you better believe that I'll try to pull off those yellow shoes, skinny jeans or a fun yellow handbag this season! And any client who has ever worked with me certainly knows how I stress choosing "warm" colors over "cool" ones. I guess it all goes back to trying to balance out that blood temperature?!

Happy Wednesday!...

Oh summer! What an awesome season! I love how schedules become lax and the days are longer & somehow a nap mid-afternoon does not make you feel as guilty as taking one in the fall, winter or spring. Flip flops and tank tops become staples and stopping for a scoop (or two) of ice cream is a necessity. The heat in Houston this past summer has been insane, but luckily I have escaped to Colorado and am definitely enjoying the relaxed pace of the season before jumping back into a hectic work schedule this coming fall. I'll miss you summer...until next year!

Happy last days of the Summer!...

Upholstery details are so much fun! I have always had a thing for tufting. Visually it is just pleasing to the eye. There are several different ways to have a piece of furniture tufted, giving the client endless options. The buttons can be covered in the same fabric as the furniture, they can be covered in a contrasting fabric to give the piece a little more detail, or there can be ties made. I have a wonderful upholsterer who offers me suggestions that I often would not come up with on my own. I love the fact that if I am stumped I always know that I can work with him to come up with something fab! Thank you Brian!!!

Happy Friday!...
