moving right along {so excited}

2012-01-18T13:31:00.000-08:00

We started with this...

& then this was installed today! Oh my gosh... I'm absolutely thrilled. It looks gorgeous! OK picture this... I was creeping up the stairs like a little kid waiting for Santa. Turned the corner & walked in the bathroom. I screamed thinking no one was on the job sight! Oh little did I know my tile guy was laying tile in the corner. He was hidden! Well, lets just say I scared him & he scared me. Today has been a good day!

I'm definitely moving right along with this interior design job. Can't wait to show you more... Stay tuned.

i need to work on...

my writing skills. I feel like my penmanship has gone downhill in the last few years. So my new 2012 goal {besides... losing weight, travel more, spend tons of time with my kiddos, save money, run a 1/2 marathon, read more, have a date once a week with the hubby, host Sunday night family dinners & take more time for me, myself & I} is to write better & more clearly. I look at my assistants writing & I want to throw up. It's absolutely perfect {beautiful, straight & clear}! Way to go Bonnie! Your writing skills make me smile. No joke! I will take my time & write slowly. I swear... Please honk if you see me going downhill!

Do you love or hate your handwriting?

What's your 2012 goal?

come to momma

2012-01-13T13:24:00.000-08:00

Do you ever look at clothes or shoes & say... "Oh my I could work so much better in those!" I sure do. Dreaming is a good thing! Then reality hits me hard in the head {my husband Sean}... Do you want or need those? Damn he's right! Shhh I want them!

Hmmm after I stare a little more they kind of remind me of airline stewardess shoes. Maybe not. I saw a lady wearing them the other day & she looked adorable in them. OK I'll put them on my wish list. Just don't tell Sean!

kitchen brain

2012-01-11T07:35:00.000-08:00

I've been researching kitchens left & right lately... Because I'm remodeling a 1950's kitchen for a client. The bones of the kitchen I'm working with are absolutely fabulous, but the appearance is definitely outdated. It just needs a little tlc. Really that's all... Usually, I want to gut kitchens & start from scratch, but this one's an actual keeper.

I was looking through my sources of kitchens on my computer & found this one {above} & almost fell over. This kitchen & the one I'm designing look so similar. I know the coloring is different... But, the bones feel the same to me. I think really its the layout... Too funny!

{before kitchen}

{remo progress}

{progress}

Now, it's all about the little details... For example countertop, lighting, blinds, area rug & accessories {oh my}! She's going to look so pretty! Keep intouch & I'll show you the after...

{Question... Does anyone know the kithen source above {1st picture}? I want to give credit where it's deserved... Thanks!}

take a seat

2012-01-10T19:33:00.000-08:00

Why do people make dining rooms so formal & overdone nowadays? To impress people? To feel grand & important? Well, in my design I try to make them extremely livable & comfortable. To be honest with you... You just might find a shoe or a toy truck under my table if you must know {wink}. Most people like to sit & talk for hours in their dining rooms. I've seen homework done in these rooms or even art projects spread over the entire table. Having everything so pristine & perfect just doesn't fly with me or my clients. I love using different textures, woods & colors. I create the perfect mixture. We all need to be able to live in each room of our homes. Hello we have kids & pets. Here's a dining room I completed. My photographer just sent me the proof. All I want to do is sit down with a cup of coffee & relax in this room right now... Well, since it's late I'll take a large glass of milk! Nighty Night Bloggers!

we're back!

2012-01-03T06:00:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Oh my it feels like a lifetime since I've blogged. hi hi hi It's so good to be back! As many of you know the rustic rooster shuts down Christmas day though New Years. We've done this every year for 12 years now. It's a rooster tradition... I know it might frustrate some, but it's really the best time for us to spend time with family & friends. Plus, we get to re-charge our mind, body & souls! Damn it feels good! I love our tradition! I'm just getting back into the office today... Definitely ready to work. Here are some fabulous photos that have inspired me this morning... Cheers!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years... Mine couldn't have been better! {thanks n,c & s} I'm so excited for 2012... It's going to be a wonderful year!

xoxo,

Alexandra

rustic rooster wants to wish you & your family a very Merry Christmas!

the real deal

2011-12-24T19:16:00.000-08:00

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I wanted you all to enjoy my family Christmas card photo shoot, 2011. Aren't they hysterical! I don't know about your kids, but mine aren't really into smiling & sitting still for long periods of time. So this was a little bit of a challenge. Now that I think about it they didn't get along last year either... Look here! I do cherish these memories very much. Oh by the way the kids decorated our Christmas tree all by themselves. No joke. Not bad little designers {wink}! Gotta go now... It's time to get the kids ready for bed. Santa's coming tomorrow! Yippee!!!

hmmmmm

2011-12-15T09:53:00.000-08:00

I'm starting to add some new pillows in my living room {what else is new}... I feel I needed a little more pizazz!
What do you think?

keeping you in the loop

2011-12-14T10:00:00.000-08:00

I feel like I've been a little MIA for the last few weeks. Hey, when it rains it definitely pours. I think we all had colds for a few weeks... Then work has been out of control busy & now I'm trying to get ready for Christmas. I know you all are in the same boat too... So here's a rundown of what I've been up to!

Just finished up a 2 day photo shoot at a client's house {interior & exterior}... When I get the photos back from my photographer I will share.

This little man insisted on going swimming the other day. Really!?!?! It was like 50 degrees out... My husband & I were tempted to throw him in to show him how cold it was because he wasn't believing us at the time. Don't worry, we didn't! I thought that was too cruel. His body would have gone into shock.

At my house which is always changing & evolving... I had a banquette built in my kitchen. This picture below is with my little narrow desk that was on the other side of the kitchen. It looks pretty wimpy & sad.

Don't worry this farm table is what I had in mind... I love the color, texture, the look... I want it all! I need a narrow table so that's why it has to be custom made.

I flew up to San Francisco to meet with a new client a few weeks back... As I waited for my flight I did a lot of thinking. I realized I was so blessed in life & career that I wanted to thank you all for the love & support you have given me through the years! I know I have had my ups & downs but we all have. Hey, no one's perfect. Thank you!

Arriving in Oakland & driving to my client's home I was in heaven. Look at these trees. They looked like they were straight out of a movie. The colors were unreal! I needed this to re-charge my body & soul and I definitely came back re-charged. Thanks Northern Cal!

Taylor took another art class with my dear friend and artist Susan Wickstrand. She had a blast!

I just completed a wonderful office install for a client...

I've tried to do a little Christmas shopping as well... Look at this sweater Ryan is getting. It's adorable! Cross my fingers he loves it as much as mom & I do. Lands End you always make me smile... Thank you!

We've been brushing our teeth... On a regular basis. The dentist came to Ryan's school so now he's obsessed with his teeth. Good Job Ryan!

We finally got a Christmas tree. Yes, the kids were good. Thank God because I didn't want to not get them one. I can't even tell you how excited they were when we arrived at Home Depot. Of course they had to take a picture in the cut outs... Gotta love Ryan's new smile. ha ha ha

I tried & tried to get a good shot of the kids for a possible Christmas card... I think I did get 1 or 2 out of the 50 I took. See this is what I got again. At least Taylor & Sean look pretty cute!

Here's the Tree... Oh by the way we NO JOKE picked this tree out in 1 second flat & it's perfect!

At 6:30 am the next day our little elves wanted Sean & I up so they could decorate the tree... I'm still hurting from waking up that early. But, it was definitely worth it!

Hope everyone is doing well...

Thanks for staying & reading!

lesson learned {i hope}

2011-12-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

So yesterday we were was supposed to go & get our Christmas Tree... I was so excited to start decorating! Hang garland, Christmas lights, pull out the stockings & of course bake cookies to take our day over the top... Well, that didn't happen! As some of you know I have a very strong willed little boy. I swear his cuteness saves him. No joke he's absolutely adorable so I have to think twice when I crack down on him. Lucky boy {wink}! Let me give you the short version on why we didn't get our tree or pull out all the decorations. Ryan has lost his ears {listening skills}... He kept honking the horn repeatedly where the entire neighborhood walked outside to see what was going on {for about 2 minutes while I was inside the house grabbing sweaters}. Then when I walked to the car to grab him he thought it was hysterical & kept doing it in front of me. A three year old is very hard to grab. They're like slippery fish... & they're fast! He got away & the first thing that came out of my mouth was, "We're not getting a Christmas Tree today!" I realized what I had said, but once you say something you can't go back. I had to be strong... In other words I had to show him who was in charge! Oh man I really did it this time. I was so sad, I know Sean & Taylor were too. Heads up Taylor wasn't so innocent in this little ordeal either. She instigated. Have you ever done anything like that before... ? I love hearing that I'm not alone!

On the bright side... We will be decorating next weekend {if the kids are good} & our tree will be so fresh by the time Christmas rolls around.

ho ho ho,

Alexandra

First impressions are extremely important & definitely lasting ones! So making the rooster look fantastic inside is what we strive for. We want you to walk in & want to move in. Everything is definitely perfect right now {said like a proud momma}. It's like a winter wonderland... White hydrangeas, white orchids, white candles, white slipcovers, white pottery, white dressers... Mixed in with fragrant fresh green garland. Ahhh I love that smell! Of course Christmas Carols are playing loud for all to hear. Truly the only thing missing is hot coco cooking on the stove top. I guess you can't have it all... {wink}

I'm drooling over this Kathryn M. Ireland fabric, Paisley stripe. First thing this morning I'm ordering a sample of it. I think it will look perfect in my kitchen with my new banquette that's being built... LOVE! What do you think?

2011 costume

2011-11-13T18:05:00.000-08:00

I know how much you all have wanted to know what my kids were for Halloween this year. I'm sure because of this fabulous blog post I did here... I know the anticipations been killing you... Sleepless nights, constant blog checks... Well, here they are in all their glory! {chuckle}

{2011}

- Fairy princess {taylor} & Storm Trooper by day/Spider Man by night {ryan} -

By the way, Taylor won the sweetest costume award at her school! Nice way to get noticed & she's only just in Kindergarten... Go team Scully! The real thanks should go to my mother... She is a master seamstress/perfectionist so of course Taylor would win! Thank you Grandma!!!!! xoxo

Don't you just love Ryan's red cowboy boots... ? He borrowed them from his sister! How do you tell a 3 year old that a storm trooper doesn't wear red boots? You don't! They're a lot of things you have to give up & go with the flow... Ryan hasn't let grandma make his costumes yet... Target won this year, again!

Here's a picture I took really fast of all the kids {cousin Spencer} together ready to go out for trick-or-treating on the 101 in Encinitas. Its a blast!!! If you haven't done it yet... I highly recommend it.

1.) It's safe

2.) Super easy

3.) Fun

4.) Adorable

5.) Extremely community oriented

That's music to my ears!!!

We've already started planning next years costumes... So many great ideas! See you next year with {2012} costume!

a bit of randomness

2011-11-12T08:20:00.000-08:00

Good morning everyone... I have a second to blog before my timer goes off. I'm making fresh pumpkin muffins for today's FALL sale. They were a huge hit yesterday. By the way I wanted to say thank you to all that stopped by... Just to say Hi & who also purchased. Thank you very much!

Get ready, because this post is going to be very random...

Well, it's supposed to rain today... That's not going to stop the roosters sale. It's still on rain or shine! Plus, it's the last day of the sale. Go big or go home! {smile}

Saw this bathroom photo & fell in love. Is it the sink? Sconces? The Dash & Albert rug? Or maybe the entire package! Job well done! By the way, I'm so sorry I don't know the source. I found it in my bathroom photos file. If anyone knows it please let me know. I want to give credit where it's deserved! Well, I'm starting another gut job on a bathroom next week. Remember this post {here}... What a looker.

This week I'm having a banquette built in my kitchen & I keep thinking I would like to have the bench seat cushion made out of mattress ticking. Am I crazy? I can't get it out of my mind... I'll let you know what I end up doing.

My sweet sweet angel is on an adventure this week with her grandparents in Hawaii. I'm so excited for her, but slightly sad. I was blessed as a child to spend every summer in Maui ... So those memories are very deep rooted for me. I wish I could have experienced her first trip there with me, me, me! I know I have to give up a few things & let grandma & papa make some fun new memories with her. She is one lucky little lady!

I'm in love with this bag... Isn't it pretty!!!! Maybe Santa needs to read this post! {giggle}

My parents are having a little shed/playhouse/office built in their backyard. I've been pulling concept photos & drafting ideas for them left & right... After I found this photo I think it's the winner. They're also adding shingles & new board 'n batten to their exterior... So a little board 'n batten cottage will be a perfect accent to the backyard.

Last but not least! My assistant & I are flying to meet my new interior design client in San Francisco next week. I can't even tell you how thrilled I am. I'll take tons of pictures.

Well, you all are saved by the bell... Got to pull the muffins out! Hope to see some new faces today! Happy Saturday... Stay dry!

all you need is love

2011-10-21T06:00:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh Elephant pancakes! This picture is so adorable! I would love to wake up to this on my breakfast table. Seeing a picture like this makes me want to be a better mom. Trying to think outside the box & push myself to create more for them... I want them to have everything in life. I'm not talking about tangible ostentatious things I'm talking about lovable creative things... Like adventures. It's about the memories not the quantities of gifts. I'm realizing a lot of things right now. I was put on an insane/intensely strict budget challenge that has opened my eyes. Oh they're open right now. I'm not going to lie... I've wanted to buy like I've normally done, but now I'm re-prioritizing everything & getting very creative. So when I saw this picture it started to justify all the positive things I'm doing & changing in my life. I believe my kids should have anything & everything... But, I can do all that in different ways. Through love & creativity. They don't need the latest bling bling clothes... Because they don't even know what that bling bling label really is. My husband is making me think... he has reiterated this questions over & over again... Do you need that or do you want that? Arghhhh He's so right! The truth hurts. lol This challenge is the best thing I've ever done. In the long run all I'll really need is my elephant pancakes & love! Try it... You'll like it too! {smile}

before & after: drama free

2011-10-20T06:15:00.000-07:00

From the moment I walked into this home I knew a lot of work had to be done… I’m not saying the bones of this house were bad it just needed to be updated. Basically stripped of its old self & brought back to life. Everything was very staged & dramatic. Layer upon layer were peeled away during this process!

{before}

My clients are very simple {& extremely FUN} people. They have 3 kids so simplicity is tattooed on their foreheads… No frills just get to the point because we have a soccer game in 10 minutes! My kind of family.

{mls - before}

After many conversations on the feel of the room we finally nailed it. By adding seagrass rugs to define the two spaces we knew we were headed in the right direction.

We couldn't part with the gorgeous pine hutch. No joke, I thought a time or two how could I steal it without them knowing I took it. You should see it in person... Absolutely stunning! This pieces just completes the room. I love a library look which is contained yet slightly messy. I then designed a farm table that also wows you as you walk in the home. It's a casual table dressed up with classic wing backs & a chandelier.

The cool fabrics, soft lighting & fresh new wall paint add a sense of peace to the room. You want to sit down & read a book in silence. Something my clients have never done before... But, now is attempted. I have brought A's to all the kids’ report cards & smiling faces to mom & dad. {chuckle} This has been a rustic rooster interior design success story! Hope you enjoyed my before & after...

apple picking

2011-10-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

OK, I'm just going to say it... This was my first adventure to Julian, Ca! Oh my gosh it was amazing! We did get very lucky... Last weekend was the last week of picking for the season. Thank God we got to do it... The kids loved it! I will never forget this outing. It was so peaceful {besides me getting carsick} & serene. Even though it was scorching hot, we didn't mind it at all. Life seemed so simple in Julian. I've gotta admit It felt good to go slow & enjoy my family...

Now, if I only can turn this bag of apples into this tonight warm apple pie! I'll will be a superstar in my kids eyes! It's all about positive thinking!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 recipe Our Favorite Pie Crust

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

4 pounds Granny Smith apples (8 to 10)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup raisins

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Work with fingers until large clumps form; freeze.

2.On a lightly floured piece of wax paper or parchment paper, roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Carefully fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, gently lowering dough into bottom and sides of pie plate without stretching (you will have a 2-inch overhang all around). Refrigerate.

3.Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and slice apples 1/8 inch thick, transferring them to the bowl as you work. Add granulated sugar, raisins, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup flour, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Transfer apple mixture to pie crust, pressing in firmly. Fold dough overhang over filling, pleating it as you work your way around pie; press dough firmly against filling.

4.Bake 45 minutes, then sprinkle apple filling with crumb topping. Continue to bake until golden and bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes more. Cool at least 6 hours before serving.
