Boudoir

I'm gonna go out on a limb here & tell you a little bit about a super fun boudoir photo shoot my talented friend Allie did for some of my besties & I...Frilly lingerie, a fabulous MAC makeup artist, Sarah Jackson, and a character for the day, myself a pin-up girl...here's a sample...and if your interested get in touch with the lovely Allie Bryan's boudoir/wedding photography click here

Have you seen my bathroom?

Yes well me & the man redid this b.room some time ago..but I haven't showed you yet! Let me give you a visual...Vanity-used to be a dark sage green/& light sage green with cabinet doors in the middle left on, Mirror-Used to be a harsh brass color, Towel bar- used to be that white porcelain material, Lighting fix.-Used to be a brass strip with vanity light bulbs Walls-Used to be peach/sage thick stripes...We spray painted mirror & hand painted vanity in a spray paint/semi-gloss in the same color of "coffee". We removed the doors of the vanity to give it a more spa like/modern feel(or so I think)..The walls were painted a gorgeous color called "Canvas", which has a tint of green in it...which I love!Lighting fixtures/towel bar changed by Ry's handy dad to a more contemporary, brushed nickel.. I would show you the shower curtain which I also adore from Crate & Barrel, a white background with leaves & branches in a dark &limish green..however it now has a little splash of red hair color on it..woops!! No one will ever know;)

Happy day for Holly

I was happy to spend Holly's beautiful wedding day with her, while making her & her bridesmaids even more gorgeous! Here's how the hair went down...love to Holly & Josh!

Have you noticed...

how I won't post anything for a while, then go on a blog binge? I get a burst of creativity & pass it on to you my sweets. So I apologize for the lack of daily posts, but it's just how my mind rolls...lalala

The great flood

I am sorry I am just now talking about the most recent devastating events in our great city. Sunday morning after a full day & night of raining, we left the house to check out our neighborhood, having no idea what were about to discover. Fortunately we live on top of a very high hill, but at the bottom of this hill, homes were covered in water. It was such a sad situation. The rain had come so fast some could not get out in time. People were literally driving boats down our street to rescue people in their homes. Although many have lost their homes,& for some their lives, alot of good things came from this flood. Every morning while driving to work after the flood had cleared the streets, I saw neighbors helping each other,volunteers everywhere, and stands set up with water & food that people had donated. The mess is starting to clear, and people are rebuilding the insides of their homes. I feel so fortunate to live in a great city where others help each other, not just for a day or two, but until the job is done.

Sweet Ava

Last wk.end Ryan & I ventured over to our friends Rachel/Wes' for a rainy hangout. We sat outside shielded from the rain, talking about everything under the sun,shot hoops, grilled out, & finished the evening by walking to a local fireworks show. Their daughter Ava is sweet as can be & although very shy, Ryan managed to squeeze in some awesome shots of her! I love this one..because it makes me feel like a kid again..not a care in the world, just zippin' around on her little hot pink cart/bike (she alternated). I had just taught her how to make a fish face;)
