Urban Farming

Ellie and KJ both go to a small Christian private school. We could not adore it anymore. The teachers love all things hands on. Ellie's teacher especially. She even has chickens of her very own. Yesterday her class had the pleasure of going to Jones Urban Farm in downtown Birmingham. I must say I fell in love! It's a full running vegetable farm and has chickens! At the end the kids harvested their own strawberries and made smoothies that contained 9 fruits. It was such a great hands on learning experience and made Ellie even more excited about our own vegetables growing in this summer. Now only if I could make our own yard look like this urban farm!

Spring has Sprung {in the entry}

You know me and my love for changing things around. Well, as of late of have been working on so many others homes that I have no desire to change a thing of my own. I am sure the Mr is jumping for joy. Ha. One thing I did change up up though was our entry table. After having fun colors up for Valentines and Easter it seemed so dull for spring. I didn't do much. I rearranged a few pictures that were already there, added the scripture canvas, put out a summer candle, and left the terrarium that was added by Fresh Style Magazine when they came and shot the house. I must say it puts a spring in my step. The canvas is by Lindsay Letters and having it as I come and go reminds me of all my blessings.

Working Away {rosemary beach house}

I got back from my 24 hour trip to Rosemary on Wednesday night. The house is 99% complete. Also found out it will be on the Rosemary Beach house tour on the 18th I believe. So much fun! Anyhoo, here is a little look in. It was a complete redo. I will post more pics next week!

Baby Steps

I am working on this condo for a newlywed couple. It's a rental while her Mr finishes up medical school for the next two years. Being their first home together I am trying to blend both their styles into one. He is very masculine and she is highly feminine. She would rather not have ducks on the wall and he would like to keep the florals at bay. They are also trying to move away from the college apartment look and into something a bit more sophisticated. It has been a fun process needless to say. The main theme they both have a passion for is art! We had plenty to make a gallery wall which completely transformed the mirror wall in the dining area. This image is a "during" shot. I will finish it up tomorrow hopefully. The only other space I had time to work on was the bar area. They already owned all the stem ware so my job was to simply make it look good. The Mr. and I aren't drinkers, but I have ALWAYS wanted to work on a bar area. Dreams do come true. Ha. Oh how I wish I could change out that faucet to something like this!

Workin' It

This past weekend was quite the whirlwind. We had a out of town wedding, Ellie's ballet recital in which I missed, and three decor clients moving and ready for install. So how did I handle it? On Friday night I took Ellie to her dress rehearsal so I could at least see some of the performance, I drove down to Mobile to meet the Mr to shoot the wedding on Saturday, and all during this time I am texting with clients and directing. Today I am off to the beach for a day to put final touches on that home which is in the final stages. I can't wait to share it all!!! For now here are a few images the Mr took from this weekends wedding rehearsal. The wedding was insanely gorgeous.
