Valentine's


We were in St. George with the Sandberg's this year for Valentine's (Pictures to come), so we didn't really do anything to celebrate, just the two of us. We did have a fun little Valentine's party with the Sandberg's which included HEART bingo. Is it possible NOT to get a single bingo in two rounds of that game?? Yes, it is. I accomplished this feat and Will, Landon's brother, made sure I knew what a loser I was. But I gave him a little taste of his own medicine much to his surprise ;). The girls had a fun day out on Saturday getting pedicures and seeing "Dear John" (actually pretty good and not as cheesy as I expected). We came home Monday and the next day I went to work to finish up and deliver some arrangements for people who were out of town for Valentine's and when I walked into our workroom this little lovely was sitting on the table. Looking at it just makes me happy. It's made of anenomes and ranunculus, two of my favorites. Anenomes are crazy because they keep growing after they are cut, just like tulips, so the arrangement is almost twice as big as it was when I got it. People always ask if I still like getting flowers even though I'm a florist...YES! I think it makes you appreciate it even more, and it's great when you have a boss who knows exactly what you will love. Landon is the best husband ever!

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
