I gave up.
Between trying to NOT get laid off
and trying to keep my Shaklee business going...
I could not focus on what to do in my dining room
...like at all.
I would look at Tara's posts about her new house
and think, dang it, what is wrong with me?
We've been in the house 2 years and still moving
We've been in the house 2 years and still moving
at a snail's pace.
Tara, btw, you have over-achiever's syndrome.
....or maybe i'm just lazy.
Yea, probably the latter.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh, yea, my dining room.
Yea...I gave up.
And my usual back up, dear step-daughter,
you know, the one working on her design degree at FSU?
The one that has some kick-butt ideas
and could totally do this for me?
Yea, she's got like a life now.
Boyfriend, job, summer school
not to mention sitting on some board of directors for dance marathon.
I mean, how dare her.
So, i emailed Holly.
As in Holly Mathis Interiors
I think I first fell in love with Holly's style almost 10 years ago
through either the Great Impressions web board
or Southern Living message board.
I can't remember.
What i do remember is she had this entire RL/cottage/classic vibe
that i was in love with.
and i remember some small antlers sticking out of the top of her Christmas Tree
serously, you would have to have seen it, it was AWESOME.
We emailed back and forth a few times, i gave her some input on
and asked her to help me marry the
ideas together.
And she came up with some awesome ideas...
and...I'm off to get started.
With Holly's number safely saved to speed dial :)
