Scratch That

So I'm finishing up my packing and I'm off to Utah on Monday and then to Lake Powell Wednesday morning! I can't wait!
 I look forward to this trip every summer! It will be nice to finally get some color on my skin for summer. 
Well neither of the swimming suits I talked about here ended up working out. The one from Land's End was really cute and the colors and print are even better in person, but the top of the suit kept rolling down showing the white lining and I knew it would bug me, so I ended up returning it. The Anthro one will never be back in stock I've decided, so I resorted to scouring J.Crew's website again. That's when I found this beauty...


It didn't really catch my eye until I clicked on it and saw the back. I'm not a butterfly lover normally, but when I saw how cute it was with the contrast back and red exposed zipper, I knew I had to try it out. Since the bottoms are almost as much as the top, (why the heck are swimming suits so expensive!?) I ended up just ordering the top, and then I got these striped bottoms from Target to go with it. 
I was also able to get 20% off the top and free shipping which was nice. I will say, it isn't lined because it's a rash guard, but I just threw on a white sports bra with it and its perfect! Honestly way more comfortable and supportive than any regular swimming suit for this pregnant body of mine.

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...
