Finally recovered....

Hey all!  Sorry to have been gone for so long....it took a bit of recovery after the kitchen reno, long weekend and general busy-ness that is my life!

No major projects on the horizon for right now.  I plan to recover the chairs in the kitchen - I want to do them in this fun orange fabric for summer...but that may have to wait a while.
I love the pattern and the bright orange in this fabric....pictures to come once that is finished.

Right now though I am busy planning our charity event.  Last year my son started a longboard/skateboard ride for kids with cancer and it was a great success.  We are back at it this year...and being that my son is a 13 year old boy...you guessed it, the bulk of the work is on me.  I am looking forward to it but Holy Toledo it's a lot of work!

Here's the link if you want to check it out:  www.longboard4kids.com

I also have a super fun project for my real work (as a prop stylist) coming up and will post some pics of that when it's done...for now I can't reveal anything about it.

I have been doing some snooping around though at other interesting things I can get up to and came across this really interesting idea for our very ugly laundry area.

It's hard to tell from this picture but it's basically like an armoire/cupboard built around the machines with hanging space above.  I love it because it is simple and would disguise the really awful concrete wall we now have in that space....this may yet be a project for our basement!

So it's not been a super productive couple of weeks design-wise...but it was a much needed break from the contant reno we had going on for the past 2 months....it was totally worth it because I am still loving the kitchen!
