a slight obsession
can any obsession be slight?
hi everybody, how’s life? it’s been a while cause i just couldn’t rationalize blogging when i had ‘responsible’ things that had not been attended to! but today i talked to my dad who said mom’s been checking in and getting no blog love. at that moment, my self imposed sequestration came to an end!
i realized that i put way too much ressure on myself so i’m just going to take what’s in front of me and as i tried to vow to do this year, remember the day with a post.
while taking breaks from work i’m also taking pics here ad there. i love having flowers around and got tiny ranunculus thinking they’d be sweet and easy to deal with. since they got here, their beauty has been beyond distracting. i started shooting them between the drudgery of work and watching them bloom. their luscious gorgeousness is impossible to capture but i loved trying.
suffice it to say they’ve been an infinite source of inspiration and i just couldn’t stop shooting them from every angle for the past couple days. now that i’m posting these i can relax and just enjoy them. hope you do too.
have a great nuit guys, more tomorrow!

hi guys! i’m out of hibernation for the next few minutes! it’s been a very long time since i had any time to myself and just made a deadline so now i can sit back for a minute. as much as i avoided blogging, it’s the first place i run when there is time to spare!

cracking the whip
hi guys! i have only a milisec before my computer dies and/or claudia forces me back to work. we have lots to prep for tomorrow but i wanted to do a quick post. claudia helped me arrange the shelves and liz had the idea to hang the chandi by a dowel between the bookcases.
i’ve been wanting to do this wall and especially the nooks for so long but just couldn’t motivate. sometimes it takes friends as we all know! i took a couple vignettes but have a lot more to fit into this day so gotta run.
more soon, have a great day!
what’s in front of us
good morning! hope you had a great weekend! it’s crack of dawn and we were supposed to shoot at 8am but wires crossed and it looks we may have a day of reprieve. today i’m tackling loose ends and not taking on any more projects big or small till this is DoNe! it’s been a hub of activity at chez moi and liz and claudia II have been fluttering around like fairy godmothers fixing, fastening and fluffing stuff ready and keep me calm.
and it feels like we’re finally getting there. the wall, the shelves and the upholstery! when the light comes up i’ll take some after shots and post this afternoon. till then, breakfast is all that’s in front of me!
have a great week!
a work in progress
hi guys! how is your week going? i guess for most of us we’re happy that tomorrow is friday~
i’m rushing out as usual but started this project yesterday and thought if i don’t post now that it just won’t happen since every minute from now till monday is booked solid. i’m shooting for my event on monday and tuesday, and one of the shots will be my home or office. the office has definitely taken a backseat and since my bff claudia is here we decided to use the wallpapers from paris to give it a quick facelift.
the plan was to use a single pattern across the wall but when there wasn’t quite enough we went another route and decided to make the whole wall an inspiration board by using a mix of papers.
normally i wouldn’t post a ‘during’ but since we’re crunched for time bit the bullet and i’m just posting as is for today. tomorrow we’ll put some of the finishing touches on.
for now it’s in disarray but tomorrow we’ll get some flowers, work on the shelves and basically zhush it up! till then i’m off cause now i’m late as usual! bonne nuit!
hemisphere in a head of hair
charles baudelaire penned ‘hemisphere in a head of hair’ to describe how so much can seen and felt ordinary things.
i’ve been steering clear of blogging and just working hard to keep my mind focused in what’s been a really insane few days. when i saw this pic it made me think of the baudelaire quote.
well i just wanted to recalibrate tonite, say hi and get back on track. i hope your week is off to a great start and that you’re finding the beautiful part of life even when it’s not what you want or expect.
where the days go
hey guys! how’s your week going? i’ve been running around like crazy cause phase one of the event i can’t yet mention is coming quick. we shoot on february 13 and 14. so i’m upholstering, making pillows, editing spreadsheets and almost too tired to blog. but when i was going thu my phone i thought you may enjoy a little of it. i have about a minute left to share it. (my guy and i said no computers after dinner tonite so it’s now or never)!
we cracked open the warehouse and there are lots of pretty things but everything needs to be tweaked so i did some fabric shopping today. i love graphics and a few of these vintage benches above could use a mod pick-me-up!
i didn’t even get any of these but it was funny to see what i shot at the end of the day. actually i did get one
i was getting into the linens
and prints
this one was embroidered. it’s the one i got (for a long lucite bench)
scenes from the warehouse
tiny chandeliers
palm beach green circa 1970!
feather tables
well my date’s here, gotta go, more tomorrow!
