Halston + Florals

Being stuck behind a desk all day is not fun when the weather outside is so gorgeous. 
I am daydreaming of pairing  
HALSTON GOWNS WITH FLORALS.

What do you think? Match made in heaven?

Brass Beauties

Here's a quick collection of  
BRASS BEAUTIES
I've been drooling over lately.  I've seriously been contemplating replacing all 
the nickle and chrome in my home with antique brass.  Still trying to justify the $$$.  
Sigh... if only I could create a new home for myself every 5 years...

Oly Bovary Table

Life's CRAZY busy again. Here is how my days have been going lately:

1. Wake up, get dressed, get out of the house.
2. Run to client's homes for consultations and/or run to stores to source products.
3. Go to my full-time job for 8 hours.
4. Make dinner from scratch because I can't do take-out anymore with my new diet.
5.  Tackle at-home design work including sourcing products, placing orders, answer emails, etc. etc.
6. Cuddle with my husband and/or puppy before turning in for the night.

Holy. Cow. 
Does anyone know where I can buy some extra hours for my day?

I'm not complaining, it's good to keep busy. 
Especially when I get to create chic rooms and use fabulous products, like this beauty:

It's a pretty table overall but look at the detail on the top:

Yup. It's just a little herringbone action for ya. HERRINGBONE.

Anyone out there have any time management tips??

I could use some right about now...

Shades of Aqua

I'm not sure what's going on with me 
but I'm obsessed with pairing abstract paintings with lamps.  
Here's another couplette in 
SHADES OF AQUA.
