it's thanksgiving :: sweet and bitter
Thanksgiving is my favorite day of all holidays.....and how amazing is it to actually have a day set aside to think about what we have to be thankful for and the many many good things that we have.Let's be thankful, joyful and content....no matter what.Trust sooner, and rest in the knowledge that "what is for you will not pass you by".Happy Thanksgiving!xo
I totally get this :: Jimmie Martin
When it comes to furniture design, I am super picky about looking to others work and drawing attention to their designs. I want to call attention to, and put my stamp of approval on originality and uniqueness...someone who is pushing the envelope of design and doing something that is truly their own.I have admired Jimmie Martin's furniture for quite some time and am all about it.....all over it.....totally diggin' it.Hallelujah for this kind of work and creative independence.

book news || a few secrets revealed and the title
Well, as you all know....I have been working away on my second book for the last year. In one way it seems like the year has taken forever, and yet in another way it seems like a very fast and vivid dream.To say that I am excited about this project would be the worst understatement of the year.....I am STOKED! I am thrilled that with every passing day, we are closer and closer to the release of ........wait for it..... FURNITURE MAKES THE ROOM!! You see what I did there? So, we go from my first book which is called Furniture Makeovers, to my second book which will be called Furniture Makes the Room. There will be many new and exciting aspects to Furniture Makes the Room....for instance....we shot in actual peoples homes....we styled furniture multiple ways in order to show the versatility of color, we amped up the technique and really created some out of this world designs, and I do a lot of heart to heart sharing about the concept of home and what that looks like to me.I am super proud of this body of work and cannot wait to share it with you all! Thank you for your friendship and support throughout this entire journey. I am truly thankful for your words of encouragement.Things are looking really really good and I am in the world of editing and copy editing at the moment. This is the hardest phase for me since writing takes much effort for my feeble little mind, but I am thankful to again be working with the super thorough and talented team at Chronicle Books!It wont be too long now....and I promise to keep you posted along the way!xo,Barb(gorgeous photos by Paige French)
