HAPPY THANKSGIVING and another sneak peek

Just dropping in to wish you all a 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I have had a busy month with friends visiting us in Austin and a recent trip to California to install some residential projects I have been working on.  I also have the worlds greatest in-laws visiting from Minnesota this week for Thanksgiving!  I hope you all have some fun holiday plans and enjoy this time with your families (please, try not to kill each other...haha!)  Here is a little sneak peek of some things I worked on while I was in CA...

Updated Girls Room, My Weekend & eDesign

Hope you all had a great weekend!  

We spent this weekend at a festival in the German town of New Braunfels.  It was a fun activity with the kids! We also spent some time downtown without the kids (love our new babysitter)!! We are loving all of the fun activities Austin has to offer.  Every weekend there is some sort of festival or activity going on!

So, I last posted about the bedroom swap my clients needed to do to make room for baby.  Here is updated photos of the girls new room....

We added a chest of drawers from Ikea to replace the nightstand that was in their other bedroom.  The girls needed more storage.  We also used a lighter shade of paint on the walls.

We also added this cute ruffle bedskirt from Potterybarn.  

Love this room and these girls!!!  I miss this family :(  Maybe I can talk them into moving to Austin?!?!  PLEASE!!!!

On a side note, I just received photos from one of my eDesign clients in Idaho that I cannot wait to share.  This custom built home is gorgeous and filled with beautiful details.  Stay Tuned!!

Room Change

I hope you all had a great weekend!  

I wanted to start the week of with sharing a project some of you might remember.  This family needed to change rooms around to make way for their new baby.  I completed their girl's room months ago and now we needed to change it to a boys room and switch the girls to another room.  

This is the girls room we needed to change...

My client loved the paint color and didn't want to change it.  So, I did my best to create a man cave with the existing silver sage paint.

This is how it turned out...

 The front lumbar pillow that I found at Homegoods is what we used to pull the room together.

The dressers are from IKEA and helped manify (I'm just making words up now) the room.

This rust colored rug is from West Elm and pulled the rust from the Homegoods pillow.  This was an exciting find!

The Quilt and sham are also from West Elm and I made the green geometric and rust back pillows. 

I know the boys are happy with their new room...as much as two boys that now have to share a room can be :)

I will share the update and re-located girls room this week!

Have a great week!!

Our Adventure begins...

We made it to Austin!! 

Overall, the move was pretty smooth.  My husband drove the moving van and I got to fly with the kids!  I cannot imagine that drive with my kids!!  

We have been busy getting cars registered, unpacking and getting settled.  We are so happy we made this move!  We couldn't be happier with our kids school and the beautiful area we live in.  My life is so much more peaceful, I cannot even tell you!

Here are some pictures of our adventure via instagram....

 We were giving furniture away last minute as we couldn't fit everything!!  It was all a little chaotic!  We had our cars shipped.  As the truck pulled away with our cars it all became VERY real to me!

 The cars arrived free of damage (unlike the last car on this truck)!

We have had so much fun exploring our new city!  This town is filled with fun things to do.

It is so beautiful here!  The natural landscape is breathtaking!

As for the family goldfish....they made the long drive out here but that is where their journey ended.  I changed their water when we got to our new home and they were not fans of Austin water!  I always used tap water before but I guess I shouldn't have!  Oops!
