A pulled together, fun & funky, casual look - perfect for a day of shopping or just playing around. The skirt was created as a no-sew craft project, from a vintage tee shirt purchased at a local thrift shop. In fact the entire project was originally inspired by Fab's post that focused on a Gucci skirt worn by Drew Barrymore .

Casa's Midday Muse: "Fun Retro Florals" takes on a life of it's own
Back in July of 2007, Casa posted a Midday Muse featuring a retro-floral card design complete with a challenge to incorporate the idea into a room.

What Will Change Look Like in White House Décor?

This is my entry into CasaSugar's Summer Style Contest packaged as a brief tour of this summer's major outdoor project: reclaiming our patio and refreshing our garden. This project was officially launched on May 24, 2008 at 10 AM and concluded today, July 20, 2008 at 2:37 PMMy husband, being an avid collector of antiques, is primarily responsible for acquiring the eclectic mix of mid-century pieces that are featured in the space. It was my goal, as the designer, to refurbish, reclaim, reuse and repurpose many of these items in order to create a warm and welcoming space with a unique personality.As the project developed it began to take on the feel of a gallery and I installed 7 unique pieces of my original artwork, prepped for permanent outdoor display, that are now part of the garden scenery.
HELP! Please... I think I need a website.
But before I hook it up I need a snazzy URL. Honestly, I think I'm all out of wit right now so I could really use your help. I have a list of particulars that I think are important and I need it to be an all encompassing portfolio-type of site for everything that I do.
