Flipping Out!

Thank goodness Flipping Out is finally back!





Who's with me? Get ready for tomorrow night on Bravo with Jeff Lewis and the gang!

I'm guessing that this treat is a belated anniversary gift to Alston & Ben from Bravo.

Christmas House 2009

I am really excited about the house that was chosen to be the Christmas House for Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles this year! Doesn't it remind you of Grey Gardens? I would love for the owners to be to hire Interior Views-- can't you just envision the interior all Colefax & Fowlered-up!



Here are a couple of photos of the bedroom that we did at the Christmas House last December.

Katherine's Bedroom

Well I haven't posted anything in a while because unfortunately I have been very busy with work, taxes, errands, and other not so fun stuff that grown-up life charms us all with. And the only reason that I am writing now is because I'm sick and therefore actually able to sit with my computer longer than the 5 mins to check my email, and I have been wanting to give you all a little update on my jobs. This month has been exciting for me because I have gotten to see the fruition of my labor for the first time with both of my jobs. During the first week of March, Judy and I installed my first job that I did start to finish with her, and during the second week of March, Jessica and I installed my first job that I did start to finish with her! It was so fun getting to see the rooms completed, while at the same time nerve racking because if something went wrong, it would inevitably be my "fault." But praise the Lord, everything went smoothly and both rooms turned out wonderfully! Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the Den I did with Judy, but I do have some of the teenage girl's bedroom that I did with Jessica. I am particularly proud of the use of the fabrics because I picked those out :). I hope that you enjoy seeing them!

Direct flights from Atlanta to Heathrow!

Who's excited??? Just this week Delta announced that beginning in March, they will have direct flights from Atlanta Heartsfield-Jackson Airport to Heathrow Airport in London. No more $40 cab rides from Gatwick into London proper, so pack your bags!

Spencer is Two!

I can hardly believe that little Spencie Bear turned two years old on Sunday. Since he is in Boston, I wasn't able to be with him but he was really cut when I talked to him on the phone. This is pretty much how the conversation went down:
Me: "Hi Spencie Bear! Happy Birthday! I can't believe that you are two years old! I wish that I could be there with you!"
Spencer: "Hi"
Me: "Have you had a good birthday?"
No answer. (He is just 2.)
Me: "I miss you and love you so much, and I wish that I could be there with you! What did you get--"
Spencer: "Miss you! Bye!"

After all, he did have a new toy garage to play with, but he is much more patient on the phone than Henry was at 2. Maybe it has to do with being the younger brother and trying to keep up with the big boys . . . I don't know, but happy birthday Spencer!

A Busy New Year

Well gang, sorry that it has once again taken me a long time to publish a new post. I do not have a good excuse; things have just been busy. And honestly, at the end of a busy day, the last thing that I feel like doing is trying to be creative and come up with a post for my blog. I actually haven't felt like doing anything on the computer when I get home at night, not even check my email, which is strange I know. Having to do something on the computer just feels like another assignment lately. But I will honestly try to be more diligent in my posting.
I did have a wonderful Christmas with all of my family in town, and everything with work is off to a good start this year; it has just been very busy.

Christmastime at Interior Views

So the other day, I walked into work at Judy's and noticed that she had given her porcelain Chinese men festive attire for the holiday season, and I thought that it was really funny. In fact, I still laugh every time I pass them; yes, it's true: I am easily amused. Also I wonder how Buddhist monks feel about sporting red Christmas ribbons?

Ellie's Baptism

Well gang, sorry for the long wait in posting anything; an anonymous good Samaritan brought it to my attention that it's been a while, and I do apologise for that. The truth is that I have been so busy with work, and when I finally have time to sit down at the end of the day, I just want to relax and not have to think. But even though I have not been updating the blog, some exciting stuff has been happening this month: in particular, my niece, Ellie, was baptised on December 2, 2007. Isn't she adorable? Nothing else has been quite as eventful but has just been busy. I am looking forward to having some time off from work and getting to spend quality time with the fam over the holidays!

Is it Christmas break yet?

It has been a little difficult for me to get back into the swing of things a work this week after the long weekend of Thanksgiving, which was so refreshing. I have been feeling exhausted this week and slept through my alarm two days in a row for some reason, and now I find myself wondering how many days I get off at Christmas and how long will it be until that comes, which makes me wonder if I am really that tired or just lazy. Besides my tiredness though, my jobs have been very busy and moving along fine, and a house that Judy decorated is being featured in this month's Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine, which is exciting.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was wonderful! It only could have been better if Ben, Alston, and the boys could have been in town for Thanksgiving and for my 25th birthday. But as it was, Sally, Randy, & I went to John's parents' house; John's parents are incredible cooks, so the food was delicious, and I got to spend some quality time with Ellie, Emmy, and John.

I also had the pleasure of seeing John's sister, Dodie, her husband, Mike, and their little boy Thomas, who is exactly one month older than Spencer; they were all in town from Iowa, and we don't get to see them too often so that was a treat!
