WHAT'S UP - 10.19.12

We are busy little bees here at White + Gold Design with not a lot of time to blog this week. I apologize. But get excited because Jamie and I have a few things up our sleeve for the blog that are really exciting, so I hope we haven't lost you already!

We also have some very exciting news about the design biz that I can't officially announce until I sign the contract, but I will tell you as soon as I can. (It's actually not really that cool, but it is a big deal for me).

+ As for what I can tell you, this week we are getting to the last stage of our N Street project and I'm stressing getting the last details nailed down. A couple of the lights I ordered are on back order and I am in desperate need of finding a wood chandelier for the dining room for less than $500. This was the beauty I had ordered from Circa Lighting...

Any ideas of another chandelier that is similar but not crazy pricey? I'm on the prowl...

+ Jamie and I are concocting a (hopefully) cool DIY project with some white + gold washi tape.

Or we might do it with stickers...

Anyone know if stickers come of walls very easily if they are on there for a long time?

+  I just got the new Nate Berkus book and I AM IN LOVE! This book is right on with my personal design philosophy of "thoughtful design".  I will write a more detailed book review for you but until then check it out!

+  One of my clients is considering tile like this for her bathroom and I say YES! What do you think? Another idea is to break it up and do half the wall this tile and the other half a marble or something.

+  I saw this scalloped skirt on Pinterest and I have a crush :) I don't have anything scalloped in my closet and I need something scalloped. I am sensing a DIY project coming on...I've been watching too much Project Runway and now I have this bug in me to make something! BTW did you see the finale?!! My favorite designer won! When they announced the winner I totally did a touchdown-worthy-hands-in-the-air shout for joy.

And after all of the randomness of this post...that's what's up!
