finally… I’m so happy! It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of my decor projects. This has been a long and crazy week so I’m thrilled to share this project with you as a way to sign off for a long weekend. This is the home of my sweet and super stylish friend, Annie Salem. Annie purchased her townhome this spring and asked me if I would help her pull it together after visiting the Neiman Marcus event. I was beyond excited!! I love Annie and I knew her style. We knew it would be a great fit for both of us. See below for the before and after details. Hope you enjoy!! Have a wonderful holiday weekend friends!!!

In celebration of their birthday, they are having a “pop-up” store sponsored with Simple Lovely highlighting Rikshaw Design (who -ps- also makes fab kurtas for women). Henna tattoo artists, bubbly, cute clothes, all fun. Friday, Sept 3, 6-8pm; 5308 Junius, Dallas**

oh to feel young again… (meaning the chair) I can’t get enough of redoing furniture and lately I’m on a roll. But!! SHAME on me because I’ve been terrible about taking before and afters! I just graffitied this chair for Jane’s room the other day in NEON pink. I can’t seem to get the color here to do it justice but I really want a chair like this. It literally glows. Thank goodness Again and Again is better than me about taking before and afters… a couple of great ones below for ya!
Have a great day!

now this is what I want… I could live with everything about this second part of the project for sure. I am SUCH a sucker for screen in porches, pools, hammocks and succulent overload (who isn’t?!). I’ll confess - the entire time I was working on this project I kept picturing myself lounging out there with a glass of wine and a nice breeze. This was so much fun to work on. Hope you soak up all the goodness that is part two of two: Sanka’s home — the outdoor living.

soothing style… I have admired the overhauled look of Restoration Hardware and blogs like Velvet and Linen for a long time. The serene hues and character brought in from the antiques is so lovely. Thus, it was so fun to meet my client and now dear friend, Sanka (yes, like the coffee). Sanka is a beautiful, Greek woman with a passion for decorating and specifically focused (at the moment) that style. For me there is so much joy in decorating houses because each one is entirely different and the personality of that owner. This is the second house completed by the studio, completely different from the first one and entirely different from Judy’s house which you will see next week (yay!). This is part one of two. Once we completed the living/dining area inside she asked us to tackle her outdoor living. Stay tuned. I’m hoping to post later today but it may be first thing in the morning! Busy day!! Hope you enjoy!

let’s celebrate the goodness… Tonight is the one year birthday bash for Dwell with Dignity! Along with three other local designers, our studio was asked to participate in “1 by 3” to benefit Dwell with Dignity. The chairs will be featured in an ON Magazine editorial photo shoot in the “Home” issue/June 2010 The project was to have three designers recreate an Aidan Gray chair to be auctioned off this evening. The other designers were from two fab local stores that I adore, Haven and William Christopher. See the chairs below and get the details on the event. There’s quite a bit going on…(the chairs are only a small part). Please come to support DWD, see the new office and bring a house warming gift!
