I'M BACK!

It's been a while since my last post - a long while actually. As you can see below, I've been a little busy growing, delivering, and taking care of a baby. A very precious, healthy, baby girl that we feel extremely grateful for.

My husband and I at the hospital right after we had our third baby girl - I look tired because I was! (and still am)

my girls meeting their sister for the first time

Having baby girl #3 has been wonderful, challenging, and just plain tiring, but overall we are happy and feeling lucky.

-----------------------------

Before I had the baby, I finished up another investor home - the La Har project. Here are some snapshots...

KITCHEN

GUEST BATH

This home has a lot of charm. A loft bedroom, a beautiful yard, and cottage-feel that makes it very homey and inviting. It's still for sale! And located in a fun neighborhood between Sugarhouse and Millcreek (for those who are familiar with Salt Lake City). Message me if you are looking for a home and are interested! We are also working on a couple other homes in the Avenues, and one in the Foothill bench area - can't wait to show you the progress on these great homes. 

--------------------------

I am starting to work a little bit, and so far, so good. Before I had the baby I wrapped up most of my projects and didn't take on any new business. With this new year, and a fresh start, I'm thinking about approaching my business differently this year. I'm not sure what exactly it will look like, but I do know the goal is to achieve higher levels of efficiency, professionalism, and continue to learn more about design and hone my skills. There is a lot I need to think about and act on with my business, and with the sleepless nights, some days it feels daunting, but other days it's exactly what I need. I know I will figure it out and White + Gold Design is going to have a great year this year.

All in due time. But for right now, I'm going to snuggle this little one and take it day by day...

WILLOW WICK PROJECT REVEAL

The day has finally come that my Willow Wick project for some real estate investors is finished! If you've been following along, you've seen where I started, the progress, and now the reveal. As I always say, it's a little underwhelming without furnishings, but one day they will let me stage! One day...

And because my business is two-fold: (1) designer for investors who flip properties, and (2) designer for clients who are designing their personal homes, I want to make it clear that we make design decisions on these flip properties based on budget and the ability to make a profit when the project is finished, therefore I design differently for these projects than I do for my personal clients. We don't invest in some of the design details and finishes we normally would because we leave some updates up to the lucky person who buys the home :)

And the nice flat backyard and patio for those of you who are interested in the home for yourself or a friend.

The photos I used were taken for the MLS (real estate listing site) and they didn't get a good picture of the upstairs bathroom, so I will have to take a picture of that and share it with you later this week.
