i am thinking for our new house that i want to use pale, neutral colors....much like what's going on in these images....but don't hold me to it....i change my mind almost everyday :)  i hope y'all had a wonderful weekend.  i went camping....and survived!!

good morning...i've been traveling a lot lately and i always find myself hooked to oprah radio.  do y'all ever listen to it?  it plays her old shows....and it's good stuff.  but beware, on one road trip i found myself crying like 4 separate times....gets a little awkward when i have to answer the phone and i am be sobbing!!  i swear, every time i get home from a trip, i have some life revelation due to oprah!!  

i don't think i ever shared with y'all the completed kitchen i designed for clients on sullivan's island.  it was a new construction and the homeowners wanted something a little more modern feeling even though they live at the beach.  i love how this guy turned out!!
i also thought it would be fun to share the clients' last home that i designed to show how we changed up the style a little.  the previous home had much more of a coastal feeling.....which i love equally :)

i wish i was daring enough to do a dark exterior.....i think it would be really cool.  i just tend to lean on the safe side....but part of me really wants to take that leap......
