Bits of my Week..


 

 Janis Nicolay flew in this past weekend to shoot our apartment. It was so much fun! She's so down to earth & friendly. 

My HUSBAND also made a bunch of hors d'oeuvres - with edible flowers - aren't they pretty?????? He is so AWESOME & helpful!

I can't show any pictures just yet, (she's looking to submit to magazines) but I may show you one or two teaser pics in the coming weeks! Here she is below during the photo shoot, I love how my painting looks in the background, so colorful!














Then we had some delicious cupcakes from Sprinkles! My favorite.














the met



















Added 14 paintings to cocoa & hearts last week & all sold out in less than an hour! Insane.









Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

  11. DANIELLE L: thanks! yes that's the IKEA piece we had at the other house...we had to saw the wood in half in order to get it into this apartment..crazy, but it worked. Yes,it was glued just a bit, the key was to not glue it too much & very careful knife work to pry it off.

    You're so lucky to have had Janis photographing your home ;) Her talents never cease to amaze me.
