Hi YA All... 
 You would think that I was from Texas...
Just practicing...it doesn't take much...if I'm around someone with an accent...I'm talk-in like them within 10 minutes...
Its a little embarrassing..

I'm going to Round Top this year to shop for clients and I'm going with girlfriends...
I've been dying to go and I'm very excited to do so....
But, for now I've been shopping for one of my clients getting all those last details ...
Their style is casual and beach-ie...which I love!
 I needed a few more pieces of art and the painting above and below were done by my brother. 
I'm hoping they will like them. 

You can take a peek at there house herehereherehere and here....it might be a little out of order...



( Artist, Jeff Hebner)




We already hung this on the dining room wall and it looks great....








My client loves primitive art so we will be adding a few of these.






We started with this fabric by Ralph Lauren









These lamp shades are from Ballard..aren't they cute?








This one is so darn fun!








The shades will be going on this chandelier...













We bought this one for the entry and it will be installed this week..








The sconce is back ordered and hoping we will get it soon...









Love this floor lamp for the living room, but its back ordered until July










This is another option and the one below..






























Hopefully two of these will go in the dining room on the same wall as the bird with blue and white plates...










I'm looking for a pot like this...





I have to finalize a dining room rug and here are a few options..






























We bought this blue and white rug for the the living room...
Which one do you like?



On a personal note...

My father died in July and now my mother is on Hospice...
Its been a tough road losing both of my parents so close together.....
I want to thank all of you and my clients for being so patient this last year. 
I haven't been able to post as often as I would like. 
I will try to be as consistent as I can during this time...
Thanks for your patience!
Julie

  1. Julie,
    I'm so sorry for your loss and now to face your mom's hospice care. I lost my mom and dad within 1 year of each other, I felt that my dad wanted to join my mom who had passed one year prior.
    I really like the samples you've shared. Your brother is very talented. Great lighting selections.
    I've always wanted to visit Round Top. Take good notes and let us know how it goes.

  15. Julie, I'm so sorry about your dad, and now your mom. As you know, I lost my mom in June, and one of my greatest fears is losing my dad soon too. I guess we get through what life throws at us, but I can't imagine. I'm thinking of you.....xo

  20. Julie,

    I'm deeply saddened to read of your Dad's death and of your Mom being in hospice. My Mom used to say, "When it rains, it pours!" I hope for you the clouds will part and you can find a little sunshine each day.

    John
