Motherhood



Motherhood is hard. The hardest thing I've ever done. 
The first two weeks of having Ames home I was a complete mess
 and was wondering what I got myself into. 
It wasn't anything like I'd imagined 
and I felt this distance between me and this sweet little boy 
that I never thought would be there. 
Fast forward to now, 3 1/2 weeks later. 
I hate that it had to start out that way, 
but I grew and learned so much mentally, physically, and spiritually. 
Things are so much better and I feel that amazing bond with my little boy that I longed to have. 
You really can't explain how hard and amazing being a new mom is. 
You just have to experience it. 

That being said, I know I have been horrible at blogging. 
But I honestly don't care :) 
I'd much rather be loving on my little boy. 
As I slowly start getting this mom thing down I promise I'll get back at it, 
but I can't say when that will be. 
Like I've said before, I hope you'll stick with me on this journey and stay tuned.

Thank you, thank you loyal readers!

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...
