A Christmas Kitchen & Big Giveaway

We updated the kitchen and decorated it for Christmas. 

Paint, a new built-in, appliance's, etc...  It has changed a bit and

we love how it turned out

I have been obsessed with Anthropology lately and 

William Sonoma they both have stunning Christmas inspiration.  

SO, check back tomorrow for an amazing

giveaway.

Hi there!

Parson chairs recovered in vintage French 

homespun linen or the traditional Darcy's? 

I think I just might do both. 

Waiting for one more thing.

 Can't wait to show you!

Simple and clean.

I realized that when I posted here,  I never gave you an overall

shot of this room.  Also, like always I have changed it since then too

:)

I love things with initials on them.

This cute little basket from Atelier de Campagne is perfect

because it has the initial of my boys Luke and Dustin.

Have a beautiful day!

Then & Now

Hi again!

I thought it would be fun to show you how my living room has changed

and I will do that with each room as I post

the new updated version. 

If you click here, and here and here., you can see how it has transformed, 

and that I am always looking for ways to move my furniture around and

 update our home.

We women love to fluff the nest.

This gorgeous hutch and rosaries came from A Beautiful Mess. 

 There are a few left. Hurry.

I added pops of yellow and blue.  I love the color of the Sangria and

Pineapple. Refreshing drinks to have in the afternoon with girlfriend.

Sooo easy girls.

Pineapple Water : Pineapple, Rosemary, Lime. 

Peach Sangria: Peaches, Cherries, Thyme, White Wine, Club Soda, Peach Snapps.

Refrigerate Sangria for 8 hours.

I added these images again to give you a better idea and

because I just love the firkin, French easel and vintage quilts.

I'll be right back, until then you can keep up with us on

Have a wonderful day.

Things have been crazy, fun around here.  

I know I have been MIA, but its for a good reason :). 

I have been working on various projects and really

focusing on Lifestyle photography. 

Just a little of what has been going on...

I have over a dozen homes photographed and submitted, delicious photo shoots of food and recipes,

3 celebrity private parties a month, (some I can share some I can't ).  I photographed the talented Junk Girls card and canvas line, shot retail stores and products, did a few portrait sittings, contribute to amazing magazines and help my loving husband with his contracting company... all the while raising two kids and taking care of family. 

It been hard to stop and blog about it, sorry.  

Its crazy what women can accomplish when we need to but, I am loving every minute of it.

Please know I am not bragging but, passionate about what

I am doing and excited to build my business and share it with you.

This little, green, French easel is so dainty and old.  

I added one of my oils painting on it and put it in my dinning room.

The Firkin is the perfect shade of gray.

I love these soft colors in my quilts,  looking forward to Fall.

Be sure to check us our on FACEBOOK, I often post images there

first, quick and easy.

Lastly, THANK YOU, US Weekly for using 

my image of Melissa Rycroft of the Girls Night Out event.

It was a pleasure.

I'll be right back.

Have a blessed Sunday,
