Knickers Part II

The project consisted of a total over hall of the interior, all new fixturing and furniture, and a new fitting room & seating area. Working with both the designers and carpenter, I was able to sketch this rendering of what the wrap desk could potentially look like:

The exterior got a major update as well. New exterior paint & trim, new awning, front door, window lettering, and cast iron urns were added. A new sign also tops the building front now! The project only took about 2 months from start to finish and the grand opening is the first week of October!

Here are a few final shots before the merchandise went in:






Pardon us while we change our Knickers...

I recently had the pleasure of playing project manager on a local boutique redesign. The store is located in Hyde Park square, only a few blocks from our house! We were given the job of taking the tired, worn store with a mom and pop feel and turning it into something glamorous and sophisticated. The boutique specializes in lingerie and custom bra fittings.
Here are a few before shots:

Inspiration for the new interior and branding image was drawn from the fabulous Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California. The kelly green accents with the traditional black and white architecture are stunning! The crisp details, all the way down to the molding and pillows, inspired the design.

Furry Friend

Meet Brody, our furry friend!
Brody can usually be found curled up in a lap. He is quite friendly and has never met a stranger. His favorite spot is his kitty bed or on a window ledge, especially on a sunny day. He has made the perfect addition to our family:)

We're engaged!




It's official! After 5 great years of dating we've decided to tie the knot! The count down is on and only 2 months to go. I've been busy planning, budgeting, designing my own invitations, and trying to stay sane. I'm working on putting an inspiration board together, but for now here are a few engagement photos!






It's been a while...


I can't believe it's been a whole year since I last posted. Seriously, Where did the time go?!

A ton has changed in the past year that has kept me pretty busy.

- got engaged!
- purchased our first home
- added a furry friend

With all of these changes, I definitely have plenty of DIY things to share!
