I am thrilled to be featured on one of my favorite sites, Houzz, today! If you are not familiar with Houzz, it's is like Pinterest for home design (clouds open, angels descend...it's awesome).

I mean, who doesn't love Pinterest? Only people who have never been on, that's who. It still feels like summer here in Georgia but I am doing my part and wearing corduroy and suede to encourage cooler temps. It will work by this weekend, I'm sure of it.

My daughter is a girly girl. You may remember her princess party last year. That was her in her essence. So when she told me she had changed her mind and now, instead of a fairy birthday party, she wanted reptiles, I was taken aback but super excited for a break from pink frills.

When my clients decided to update their dining room, we started by taking the palette from warm to cool with lovely grays and blues.

This table is where art is made, work is done, vegetables are tried, papers are read, milk is spilled, jokes are told, arguments begin, and forgiveness is granted. This is where life happens in the Sims household.

My grandfather was a real cowboy in Oklahoma and always had a love of horses. We rode his horses and even competed with him in rodeos when we were young, so when the doc announced to us,”it’s a boy!” I knew a cowboy party would be in his future.

I am working on this dining room right now and it is turning out beautifully!

My little girl wanted nothing more than a princess party for her 5th birthday. Your wish is my command, m’lady!
