Long time no post

These last few weeks have been really crazy that I haven't had a chance to post anything new. I have a couple new post in mind so stick around for that! I just thought I'd write a quick little blurb about what's been going on with me. Recently my teacher approached me about starting up the Interior Design club at my school. It's a small community of students and my goal is to build a strong comradery, share design ideas, community projects and getting our name added to the ASID school chapter list. We may have our first kick off meeting the beginning of November, I'm bribing everyone with goodies and beverages! I'm feeling optimistic about it and will share more as time goes on.

I can't wait to share my first (maybe second) custom piece I designed for a recent project I completed a couple weeks ago. I made a cornice!! I'm still shocked. If you don't know what a cornice is, it's a luxurious valance shaped like a box (way prettier than those flimsy valances you see in a JcPenney catalog; no offense).  A post about my custom made cornice will be up in a couple weeks!

Sometimes you have to try again to really get it right. My baby room project (not my baby, a friend's baby) was originally a nice set up but it wasn't functional. I went back to the drawing board and put it all on paper and found a functional set up for Mommy, Daddy, and baby.

"I got it at Ross" Home Shopping Tip

                                             

I am a huge Ross shopper. I've found many great treasures shopping at Ross, not just in their home section, but everywhere: shoes, clothing, travel.  When I'm in a really nice area and pass by a Ross, I will make a special stop just to see what I may find.  I was in the Walnut Creek area doing a little shopping and stopped by their Ross; really nice stuff. I found this storage basket and wall art on canvas, both for really great prices. My daughter's room was lacking wall covering so I thought this picture would go perfect on a bare wall next to her window. The storage basket I'm currently using to store her bedding and thick blankets. I imagine I'll use it for various things in the future. I love the size as it holds a lot of stuff.

In comparison to Marshall's and TJMaxx. Ross is arguably the lesser expensive store out of the bunch. If you shop at a good Ross, like the one I went to in Walnut Creek, you may find that they carry the same items as Marshall's and TJMaxx for less!  This is my home shopping tip. If you're not a Ross shopper, I hope that this will inspire you to check one out soon.
