Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jig

We are back! Our month long vacation to Utah and Cancun has come and gone. I looked forward to it for so long and now it's over, but I can honestly say I was ready to come back to our home away from home in Iowa. A month is a long time to be away from your bed and your own space :) We had such a great time and I have A TON to post about, but today is not the day. If you follow me on Instagram you saw my post about how much crap we fit in our car and now I have the pleasure of putting it all away, doing all the laundry that didn't get done at my parents', and getting our house back in order. So here are a few pics from Cancun and I'll see you again soon with some more from our adventures.

 Coba 
 I did a lot of this. It was between 70-80 degrees the whole week! Ahh I wish I was there again now :)

Landon played beach volleyball with all the Europeans and Canadians 
(I swear we were the only Americans at the resort! We were scarred by the topless women on the beach :) )

    I know you wanted to do a Ladies Night while you were here and I texted your mom the week you were in Mexico & then we got the plague! I would have loved to see you! I hope you had a nice trip (both home & Mexico). Sorry again that I didn't set something up. Hope things are well!

I found this recipe on  Just Cook Already  a few weeks ago and finally tried it for dinner tonight. It was a HUGE hit with Landon.

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...
