Weekend Recap: Sneak Peeks

My install on Friday went really late, but it went well. It was literally 8pm and I was waiting for the last toss pillow to be sewed on my way to clients apartment. Craziness.

I was working on a kitchen nook, dining room and living room that was being installed for a big housewarming bash the very next day. I would love to say I was able to take a ton of pictures, but due to tiredness and the fact that nothing was really 100% finished when I left the full reveal pictures will have to wait.

I did manage to sneak one picture in to give you all an idea of the look we were going for.



We (me and lovely client) were going for a conservatory/library, but modern feel for her dining room.

Our inspiration was Sara Costello's drool worthy kitchen/dining room:



We got an amazing rustic dining table of course on install day in looked like this:



Sorry I didn't get more pictures, but don't worry I've already emailed client and asked her to take some shots and email them to me so that I can share with all!

Saturday was filled with cleaning up the house and finishing up a project I started a couple of weeks ago.

Remember I decided to be nutty and get rid of my perfectly good bed and have Jon build me a new one?

After some work the first weekend in August we had this:



We finished it up this weekend and I'm in love:



Our euro shams cover it up a bit, but I still had to add them to the bed and see what it would look like:



*Also because you all know me I'm currently having new euro shams and toss pillows made! But should be finished this week and then I can check off another room finished.

Working a DIY post to share with all how we made it. Trying to post it this afternoon, but I may need Jon's help for all the dirty details so it maybe a Tuesday morning post. :)

What were you all up to? NY was raining on Sunday so we were able to sleep late, attend a family get together and then back to back for Sunday night TV!
