Friday

It's been a big day in the work world.  I did some final preparations on a house I designed and today was move in day.  We started the design process about 9 months ago and everything I imagined on paper, came to life.  Better than that, is seeing my clients excited and happy with their new home. 

It's pretty amazing to start with a blank slate, design the space, draw 3D studies of the exterior, select the finishes and watch it all come together.

Lots of trim in this house.  The floor is my favorite- White Oak with a custom stain color. 

Kitchen, Nook, and Homework room (behind the glass barn doors)
There are still a few more upper cabinet doors with bubble glass, to be installed

Great Room. 

Cabinets in the homework nook.  I love designing cabinets.  Every home needs a 'Command Central'  

Powder Bath

Downstairs fireplace.  Today was a flurry of activity as cabinet installation was completed. These floating shelves are amazing. 

The Jack and Jill bath. Marble hexagon tile, grey cabinets

Marble herringbone accent tile is so beautiful.

 This took up half of my day.  The other half was spent babysitting, occupational therapy, installing shelves in my closet and working my day job.  And now it's almost 1 A.M on Saturday and the day is finally over!  Whew!  It started at 5:15 Friday morning. 

Fluidotherapy machine at Occupational therapy.  This is filled with ground up corn cob and heated to 150 degrees.  It is suppose to desensitize my raw nerves.  The air blows the finely ground corn cob all around while you grasp at it.  It is surprisingly helpful. 

    This peg board was impossible for me.  I still don't have my fine motor skills back yet and I have a weird tremor when I use my fingers for stuff like this, or playing the piano.  It was so hard and took so long to put all these little pegs in the holes with my hand. My therapist thinks I'm doing great but I feel a bit discouraged.                                             

Life comes at you fast sometimes.
