MISS MOOX: This Week I...

Saw some progress on a client's gender neutral nursery...drapes come next week. And don't worry, we have a "male" light fixture, just in case!

Speaking of the word drapes...have I mentioned how much I hate the word "curtians"? I really, really do. Kinda like I hate the word couch but I can tolerate couch. I can't tolerate curtains. I have a client that keeps calling them curtains and I keep saying "Please don't call them that." He just laughs but he needs to know that I am serious.

Also saw some progress on a client's guest bedroom in their second home on Sullivan's Island...

I should have fluffed before Instagramming!

So I learned Twitter this week! My poor friend had to teach me what it was all about. I honestly thought it would be a fad so I never bothered to learn it. And quite frankly, I still think it is very middle school but I get how it can be a valuable business tool so you will be seeing LOTS of tweets from me/Eclectic from here on out. I have officially run and jumped onto the bandwagon as it was speeding away from me.

As addicted as I am to Pinterest, I still love me some ol' fashion Inspiration Boards. Here is the one I have in my office @ Eclectic...

I cut down sheetrock and nailed it directly into the existing sheetrock and then spray mounted some leftover grasscloth I had from another project so the Inspiration Board would go wall to wall. It is much larger than this image shows. I have to give credit for the sheetrock idea to my talented friend Brett Elrod of C.B. Elrod Construction...it was pretty darn smart and inexpensive!

Speaking of the talented Brett Elrod, he got married last weekend. Here are my friend and I at his wedding reception at The Hibernian...good times.

And here is how my seashell display turned out for my clients. Remember my post from yesterday?

What do you think??? Be honest. But maybe not brutally honest.

Eclectic has been nominated for best interior design blog again this year and if chosen, I win a cash prize (yippie), so please take a second to vote for me here! Many thanks!!!

Have a great weekend y'all!

Delivered the world's longest bench to a client...took 6 men to carry it.
Not really.

I had it reupholstered a Duralee fabric.

I rearranged the entire showroom at Eclectic...

Including the front window...

So I watch The Bachelor. I have watched for all 10+ seasons and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I think it is hilarious and I love analyzing all the different women (or men). However, Tiarra (or whatever the heck her name is) is an all time low for ABC.

She went from this...

They were doing a Polar Bear Plunge

To this...

Faking hypothermia.

Milking attention.

Oh and last week she was doing this...

Seriously?

Do you watch? If so, do you read this? If not, you totally should.

Moving on to real life...

This gentleman found me online who saw that I had once had an Edisto Farms Dairy Cooler for sale on my old online site Objects and asked if I happen to have any more. He said his grandfather once owned Edisto Farms and his dad use to work there and he thought it would make a great birthday present. Lucky for him, I have a penchant for collecting local history and just happened to have another one!

I bought my first Ann Keane painting! I have been coveting her work forever and just couldn't resist any longer...

Happy Valentine's Day To Me!
Thank you Charleston Artist Collective

Last weekend I went to that Superbowl Party and did a horrible job taking photos...I have none of actual people's faces and these don't even do justice to what my dear friend Lauren Heuber of Muster Branch did with the decor of the event. So I'm firing myself...Trump style.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Hoping to put this wallpaper in a little boy's room on Sullivan's Island that I'm working on. It's so bleeping cool!

Cole & Sons Great Wave

Working on styling a bathroom for a client who is renovating his master...

I bought the coolest piece of technology. Not sure if y'all have heard of it yet but you should totally get one. I'm way ahead of the curve...

iPad

Rediscovered this song while my iPod was on Shuffle...

Edwin McCain Alive
(Live Version with Warren Hayes)

Also giving a lil' nod to New Orleans during Mardi Gras!

Took some Instagrams of the shop...for those of you that don't follow me I'll share.

Have y'all heard that Instagram parady to the Nickelback song? I can't take an Instagram without singing it. It is freaking hilarious.

This is one of my besties Mason and I in the photobooth at the SOS Black & White party on Saturday night. We co-chaired the event last year and this year we got to enjoy ourselves...perhaps a little too much!

Big game this weekend! I'm going to my friend's annual Superbowl party...they go all out and get a huge tent in their yard with a movie screen and bleachers with VIP seating. Jack's Cosmic Dog is there along with the peanut guy from the USC games and they serve bevos from the competing teams regions. My great friend Lauren Heuber of Munster Branch Vintage rentals/events is helping to plan it and has some great ideas in store! I'll try to remember to take some photos to share with you because she is super talented.

I don't give a dang about pro-football but I promised a certain someone that I'd root for SF so go 9'ers!

Have a great weekend y'all!

I delivered this bad boy to a client. It will be topped with a local artist's work and some killer accessories. Bam. You just wait.

These guys are going to live in the same room...

I'm working on a mystery sex nursery and we are doing stripes on the ceiling (thicker than these) in Benjamin Moore's Boothbay Grey and Forget Me Not. The ceiling is pitched on either side so I think it is gonna be amazing!

Also doing the same client's daughter's room and that color scheme looks a lil' something like this...

I'm so in love with it!!!

So I was joking with my seamstress about all the local characters we have here in Mt. Pleasant (for you non-locals it is the 'burb just over the bridge from Charleston) as you do in any town really. One I mentioned that she was not familiar with was Willie Nelson. He is always walking near where I work and live. I spotted him about an hour after our conversation and was trying to get a photo. I'll have to do better next time...

Anyone know who I'm referring to? He's a dead ringer.

This Saturday is the annual SOS Black & White Event. If you haven't bought your ticket go do it now! Going to be a blast as always! I'm taking Ryan Reynolds.

Big thanks to Carter at The Scout Guide Charleston for featuring Eclectic on their blog today!

This is me being self-conscious during the posed photo.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Had another fun battle with Comcast, my IT guy and my laptop. No internet for 3 days. Just because I have Internet now, don't think that I won. No, no, no! $$$, cursing, countless hours troubleshooting on the phone and being way behind in work = losing my friend. I really want to do this...

Moving on.

Saw this beautiful custom vanity that was delivered for a client...

Painted in Benjamin Moore's Chelsea Grey. Here is the proposed design...

If you can believe it, she's second guessing those mirrors!?!?! I know, I know.

Got hives walking into my messy office...I'm pretty sure my desk is somewhere in there.

Installed these gorgeous guest towels into my booth at Southern Accents that I worked with WayWay of Blue Chickadee to design. Did I mention that they were gorgeous?

As well as this...what do you think of my custom art piece? I titled it "Sea Creatures".

What you can't see in this photo are the cool details. So I'll show you...
LARGE nailhead details on the side

THICK jute rope to hang it from

Your thinking I'm kinda brilliant right now, aren't you? Um-hum.

Also, did you notice these guys in my booth vignette photoed above?

They are industrial sewing bobbins. I am in love with them. For now, I am selling them "as is" in my booth but I have access to more and want to think of something to do with them! Any ideas all you creative readers? They are like 22"h and 3-4" diameter. Lamp and table legs are already on the list...what else you got? Leave a comment.

Have a great weekend y'all! I hope everyone stays safe from Irene (that bitch).
