This week….

….was a very very very good week. :)

I came home from a weekend in Houston to find these waiting for me (I LOOOOOOOOOVE fresh flowers):

And this in the mailbox (I love clients who use their photographs in unique ways - in this case, brilliant and beautiful thank you notes):

I ordered a jar of this (nom!):

And then Jason and I spent the weekend turning our drab puke-green bedroom with no light and mismatched furniture into THIS:

And then I followed a guide I found in my beloved Real Simple book to create a pretty bulletin board for the closet, with all the little things I might need for a clothing emergency:

Oh, AND I turned our dirty comforter that was too big to fit in any washing machine known to man into a DUVET COVER that we can slip off and wash any time we want that fresh laundry smell.  Woohoo!

All in all, a very productive weekend. We have been meaning to redo our bedroom for awhile now, but since I have been working every weekend since May, we didn’t really have a chance until now. I can’t tell you how much I love our bedroom now. I pretty much never want to leave it! It makes me happy just to stand back and look at it :) Obviously we still need to get art up on the wall (a big canvas over the bed, an arrangement of black and white images in black frames on the window wall, and possibly something above the TV) but it’s a vast improvement.

This weekend I am off to tiny Toccoa, Georgia to photograph a wedding I have been excited about for a loooooooooong time.  The bride and groom are crazy cool and I can’t wait to share more details about them when I return!

    Stacy, where did you get your white/black comforter? I really want to redo my room with damask. Starting with a new comforter. And yours looks great!

    Hey abby! I believe we got the comforter at linens & things, but it’s not black and white, it’s actually dark brown and white, with a light brown underside. I have seen a pretty black and white one, although I’m not sure where it was. I think it might have been at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond. Good luck!
