Thanksgiving.. happy

 

We are celebrating our second Thanksgiving here today (this one is from Saturday).  I was so excited to have a few hydrangea left in the garden to grace the table.  

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with friends and family!

industrial in the office..

 

Just a little of what I have been working on this week.  I am so excited to get started on this project with my client!  

What are you up to this weekend?  

A Turkey is in my future today and then a little work to be done.

Wishing you a wonderful fall weekend.

 

Pimlico Magazine {thank you}

  I wanted to say a big thank you to Pimlico magazine for including me along with the other wonderful bloggers in their Winter 2012 issue.  They asked me to share some of my holiday table setting ideas and I think that setting the table can be one of the best parts of entertaining so I was happy to put together some of my favorites!  I offered a little sneak peek a few weeks back and here is the final result. Hopefully my schedule will allow for some entertaining this holiday season that I can share with you here on the blog too.  This issue is full of great ideas from wrapping to what to wear, check it out here.  

 

Here are a few other shots from that day.  It is always fun to have a little photo shoot!

 

Masculine & transitional...

 

A little inspiration for a Friday.  This is an inspiration board from my presentation this week.  I fell for the easy semi masculine feel of this one.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing a little bit of your day with me here, it is so nice to be able to share my work and ideas with everyone.

 

final...

Ahh,  a few little snaps from my final install of last week.  It was nice to put the major part of the work behind me.  There are always little changes to be made and switch outs that need to happen as with all installs.  It seems that inevitably there is something that arrives broken, in the wrong color or just does not arrive at all, and you have to be able to make the decision on a moments notice as to whether making a switch will change your vision for the project or if it will make it even better. 

There is nothing relaxing or easy about the install days, it is a bunch of work with the greatest of rewards- a finished project!

 

2 Down...

Well another set of installs are done.. mostly.  We had no window coverings but hey those will be there on Friday and then I can take a bit better pictures.  That is the hardest part I think about installing design jobs is getting everything to come together on time and in the correct condition.  Inevitably something goes wrong but you learn to improvise and sometimes it ends up being better because you are actually in the space. 

I was pretty pleased with these spaces over all.  We still have things to add and things to finish up but it was a good day of work.

If you want to see more photos you can check on instagram here or @greigedesign.

 

happy...

 

Busy busy days... I thought I would lighten the mood with some of my favorite things... flowers and vintage papers...  I will be installing again today and hopefully I will have something interesting to show you tomorrow!!

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

 

A little blue and orange

Just a little sneak peek at my installations from yesterday.  As always there are a few mis-steps here and there but everything went pretty well and I was pretty happy with how it went. 

 

Dark Grey and green...

 

Oh my goodness friends... it has been quite a week!  I know it's not over but it is coming to an end right?  I am not complaining (much) this first full week of school for the kids and a ton have work are really taking their toll.  

It's funny, when life is crazy busy I seem to think of more things to add to the list, I want to have a party and I cannot get it off of my mind!  Okay I will stop with the rambling and imagine myself in this space with the touch of greenery to sooth my wild brain.

the blues...

 

I am working on designing a few projects this week and I am so excited to work with this color again... Love it!  I am trying to figure out how I can put it into my home for a little pop of color!!

I hope you are having a wonderful week!!

 

working towards the dream...

 

I love all of the intricate details of Paris, I love that she stays there being beautiful just waiting for us to visit once again.  I have missed her this year!  We are planning a trip for Spring and I cannot wait to see how little she has changed!  

I hope you have a dreamy weekend!  

We will be here working hard to be able to visit next Spring!

Just a little of what we have going on this long weekend..  Flea markets, relaxing and reading, lazy doggies and setting up vignettes around the house.

I hope you are having  wonderful weekend!

Fossils {accessory trends}

While I was at the show in Atlanta I saw the most beautiful fossils everywhere and most were already sold.  Most of the showrooms used them in display or as the main accessories on their furnishings.  I fell in love!  I was very excited to pick up a few pieces this past week, which I am even more excited to share with you.  

 

I am sorry this photo is not better, these pieces were amazing!

Each of the the architectural fragments had bits of stone attached to them.

 

Loved this too!

 I picked up Smokey Quartz and Amethyst pieces, these are for sale in our flea market section of the shop.

 

Stop by the shop to see what we have been adding, I will be putting more on in the coming days.
