welcome...

I've started a wonderful new interior design project recently  & I'm loving it.  Every detail on this house screams with character... Definitely a project right up my alley.  I was on the job site yesterday walking room by room figuring out sinks, faucets, lighting, hardware, colors, stains... Oh my! 

As I'm walking  through a clients house I pretend it's mine {hey a girl can dream}. I need my clients to know that I care about the job... Not just saying yes to everything & agreeing to agree with the  homeowner {they hired me for help}, but standing up when I believe a decision is incorrect.  I think that's how I got this job... I described in great detail the direction the house should go & wanted to change a few choices & bamn the contract was signed, sealed & delivered to my office.

Here's my description of the home...Craftsman + Nantucket retreat = Cardiff Classic! I'm helping the homeowner blend the two styles together without offending each other. I feel confident that I can accomplish just that.  By the way aren't you just in love with the exterior paint color?  It looks just gorgeous on the house. You should see it in person... Fab-U-Lus! The window trim &  doors  are still primer. I'm presenting 2 color choices next week... Can't wait to see them up. So many decisions to make! Keep you in the loop!   

don't look

Doesn't this picture just give you the chills... I have to close my eyes right now when I see it {walk past it}! We've been doing some amazing & positive changes {hiring + re-arranging} at the rustic rooster. So the one that's been a long time coming is happening right now... The design office is getting a massive makeover! Oh she'll look so pretty when she's done! Yaaa I can't wait to be clutter free. Last August I really de-cluttered & went through tons & tons of files & fabrics...etc. That was a huge job. Being in business  almost 12 years you start to accumulate a lot of stuff! No Joke! So far with the re-design we have eliminated so much & cleaned up! It's a great feeling... Try it some time. You'll love it. Can't wait to show you the before & after photos.

Hmm is it 1 or 2? I keep going back & forth on which one to make for a little nutella party I'm going to this week. Lets just say I've been dreaming of nutella fields & mountains covered with nutella {looking for recipes}. OK I'm lame but, I'm really liking this stuff! My first bite I thought I was eating frosting & was completely grossed out, but kept on trucking!  Remember my post here. Well, a bunch of us decided we should have a "sugar only" eating party. Water please!  I would love your help... Which one should I make? I guess the real question is... What would you want to eat? Help? 

i'm there! you there?

FYI.. I'm making Key Lime Pie! Watch out It's going to be the best pie ever! {just kidding} Hope to see some familiar faces at M.O.M ! Can't wait to eat, shop & have fun!

style hour photos

Thank you all so very much for coming to Style Hour last week. The show of support for the rooster & all the vendor's were absolutely amazing! {huge hug} When I got home that night, put my tired feet up, I had a permanent grin on my face. It's been  a long time since I felt that way. Thank you again to each & everyone of you. Can't wait for the next party! {wink} 

gobble de goop

OK everyone I have a few things to say. Nothing really too interesting, but at least it's something. Right?!?! First off, I had a great idea this weekend to walk with my kids & hubby to a new bakery called Gordy's in Encinitas. I saw it last weekend when I stopped by smart & final. Well, we walked there & enjoyed a few different baked goods.  

                              

                    

The design was retro contemporary {don't really know what to call it} The Plonks were wonderful. Fresh, moist & extremely enjoyable! I think the true test was to see if the kids liked it... They loved it!  I would go back to get a plonk & coffee for a little pick me up snack. I don't think I would have it for breakfast again... More of a snack place in my taste.

                     

Happy little eaters. {look both are smiling at me & taking a picture... that's a first} I will say I will never buy Snapple fruit punch again. Pure sugar & gross. {Sorry Snapple... bad drink} I know my kids liked it... But, I'm sure any kids would like a pure sugar drink.

Next...

 

It's the Carlsbad 5000, April 3rd. Wow, do I have many memories at this 5k. Now I'm going  to add more because  it's Ryan's 3rd birthday on the day of the run & second Taylor wants to run it with me. Yaaaaa I can't wait. Hope to see some familiar faces out there.

I need some Ideas to plan Taylor's Birthday {March 24th} & Ryan's Birthday {April 3rd}... Any suggestions? 

{Taylor's 4th birthday at kids by the sea}

{Ryan's 1st birthday at grandma & papa's house}

Hope everyone is staying dry today.

 Can you believe it hailed! That's crazy!

clean & pretty

I think I need these for my refrigerator. I have plastic containers that  are constantly getting stained from food or disfigured from the dishwasher. Aren't they pretty? Shhh can you hear that... They're calling my name! Alex, take us home... We'll make your food, life & refrigerator so happy! Done deal if that happens. Glass containers come to momma! Do any of you use these types of glass containers? Please let me know what you think of them! Good or bad?
