WHAT'S UP! 9.14.12

+  Guess who turned the big 3-0 this week?! And my cute husband set up a nice birthday dinner with my best friends to celebrate. I seriously have the BEST friends - they are a huge blessing in my life. Love you guys! (don't I look cool surrounded by such beautiful people?!)

+  I've been debating way too long over what sconces to buy for entry at the N Street project. Here are my options - your help deciding would be very much appreciated! (The hardest thing about design is choosing between 2 good options)

+  And probably the most exciting news is that my friend Jamie Richards is joining White + Gold Design as an intern to learn the biz and then eventually as a designer!

Jamie and Mirabella's Creative Director, Amber Bowen, at a Mirabella event

Jamie and I used to work in advertising together (she was pretty much my boss) and we know we work really well together. She and I have different points of view, but similar enough that we make a great collaboration. (She has GREAT taste in everything)

Jamie is the creative genius behind Mirabella cosmetics. For the past few years she has named every product and written all of their copy and helped with package design, etc. She is SUPER talented and I'm so excited to have her back.

+  Thinking about painting the vanity in N Street's main bath this color...

+ I received my Restoration Hardware package of catalogs this week and am in love with this light for my master bedroom.

Lot's of birthday celebrations including Takashi (my favorite sushi restaurant of all time) and pedicures and massages. The BEST birthday week ever! Hope you've had a great week too.
