Project Stay Happy

A fellow design blogger, Danielle, of Danielle Oakey Interiors, has started this amazing project.
Project Stay Happy is devoted to helping pregnant women in hospitals who are on bed rest.
Danielle is accepting cash and gift donations that she will use to put together gift packages for these women to help lift their spirits.

She herself was on hospital bed rest for 10 weeks with her second child. I can't even imagine how restless, bored, and discouraged you would get sitting in a hospital that long and yet hoping each day that your baby stays put.

This is such a great project!

If you have an ETSY shop, a creative skill, or just want to donate, please email Danielle at danielle.oakey@gmail.com
She's looking for things such as baby leggings, mobiles, hats, homemade stuffed dolls/animals, prints for the nursery, art, pillow cases, jewelry for mom, hair bows, turbans, baby wraps, stationary, gift wrapping, etc. You know... the fun stuff!

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...
