New Heights


Today I am 27. Wow, where did the last year go? It is really crazy, this past year has been filled with a lot of personal growth, growth in my relationship, confidence in my design career, milestones for our wedding company. I think a lot more about the scheme of things these days, and how important it is to take in the moment, tell people how much I love them, and be grateful for all of the fortunes I have been granted. I am not wealthy by any standards, but I am so lucky to have a Mother that means the world to me, and sister who is the best friend I could ever ask for, I am in a relationship with my best friend, a father/stepfather I love, grandmothers I adore, my darling Bruce.... I could go on, and on...I feel blessed in so many ways. I want to make this year the best year. This year is going to be filled with hard work, less stress, not as much fear towards failure, more attempts at greatness, and as much love as I can give. It is time to push myself, not feel defeated easily, 27 is going to be a great year. 
Tonight we are going out- I don't know where though- I'm excited! Keeping it low key, I celebrated with my parents over the weekend, nothing crazy....I think i will wait till 30 to do a big blow out :)

For some time I have wanted to add another row to the top of my pictures in the living room. I wanted the eye to be drawn further up. I think it makes the ceiling look higher, and the look is more complete now. I LOVE it- I also incorporated some pink into the design, I like to do sneaky things like that. Blayre is a good sport though, he just let's me run wild... I'm an Aries(which means I am fiery) and when I get the urge to create I can't be stopped!

What do you think? Would you do a whole wall floor to ceiling? Too much? Or do you love the idea of having a gallery style wall?

  11. The gallery wall looks awesome! I agree, it does draw the eye and that sneaky pop of pink helps strengthen the effect!
