phone tales

I have little room left in my brain to talk about anything but project LFP

It's been all consuming and I mean that in the best way possible.

however my phone has tales of a different story..apparently x-mas happened 

Here is what my phone brain saw this week..


master bedroom hand embroidered chinoiserie panels.....um Yep

fancy drapery valances..yep


the now discontinued and never to be seen again (at least on this ground) Clarence House Ocelot



the now discontinued and never to be sold from the bolt again Katana in this colorway by Kelly Weartsler

cute little chairs getting re-upholstered.

LFP is scoring MAJORLY ...no?

Then I strung some pom pom garland


 and the duck put these happy Bastards up on the lawn


Penny was elated about all of it


Till next week lovers.

Updates

AID has been working on project "LFP" over here for the past few months and it is getting near the big install day!

This is the MOST exciting part of any project becuause you finally get to see what all of your hard work and sleepless nights will finally amount to.


 Over the next 2 weeks I will try and chronicle the happenings in each room bit by bit. Its a big house and we are doing the whole damn thang ....so you'll have plenty of eye candy

Couches, drapes, rugs, pillows, stunning "knock your socks off" artwork!!!

You will just die at the stuff these clients already had!

Anyways, here is what happened yesterday. We smashed some walls, built some banquette seating and installed some lights.

We also painted a dining room, painted a powder room, and installed more lights...

some installs...

as always we are busy around here....

Last week we installed two different clients rooms. 

A dining room and a living room..

These are just some iphone pics worth sharing

Client 1 
(AKA client "Pretty Much Perfect")













and client 2







lots of staging needs to happen and much better pictures will for shuuuure be in the future cause the pictures just don't do the rooms justice!

I will be taking the day off tomorrow to shove my pie hole full of pie..and stuff
I hope you lovers all have a fantastic Turkey day.

Phone Tales

 Phew, what a week

Lets re-cap shall we??

Mrs. Meares travelled all the way from the South and paid me and G a visit for a few days. We did all types of fun lady things and even squeezed in a x-mas shoot featuring all types of Furbish goodies..


then we ate Eggs Benedict for 3 days straight only taking a break to eat fish tacos


In Work related news......A living room pillow scheme was created



The Shoppe is about to get some gorgeous additions.....



and the Ikat Pom Pom pillows got a little press in Foam Magazine's Holiday issue



 have a fun filled weekend lovers. It is finally cold in L.A so you can expect I will be bundled up clutching a Starbucks holiday cup tightly.
