One of my favorit Artisians

I just received an invitation to one of my favorite artists open house...Ashley Carter of Goldbug Studio-if only I lived in North Carolina.

I first learned of Ashley when I had my retail store, her booth was one of the first stops I would hit. She as well as her craft is girly, sparkley and sometimes silly.

I hope you will take a look at her website click Here and if you live in the area please go and buy something glittery for the holidays!

I'll be planning my Christmas decoration this Thanksgiving holiday weekend and my decor will defiantly include some Goldbug!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Reginald Jones Fine Art Studio

On the 12^th of November one of my sister and I made a journey to our folk’s house in Tucson, Arizona....

I mentioned in one of my first blog posts that my father is an artist. I thought you might be interested in seeing his studio and some of his work.

Enjoy!!

He studies and paints pretty much everyday.

It's hard to see but he's working on a black bear and is studying several angles and proportions of head to body etc.

He could always tell if there was a pencil or pen missing from his collection.....

Latest painting on the electric easel.

Behind each white foam-core board is a painting and they are lined all around the studio.

We are currently looking for a good place to have a showing and sale....but in the mean time for more information and his bio please check out his website HERE.

Sneak Peak

I mentioned a few weeks back that I have been working on some things and I was not ready to reveal what it was...because it's taking me longer than I anticipated I thought I would let the cat out of the bag....I am re-branding my company.

I will keep my blog under Creme Fresh for the Home, but my interior design company will be renamed and a whole new package will emerge including a new card, website, promotional material and the like...In the mean time I wanted to take a moment to show you what I've been working on....

This client relationship started over 5 years ago...before you think it took 5 years to design and decorate one house, it's been a work in progress...we did the bulk of the work early on but with the addition of a baby; there was a bathroom redo, carpet to replace, girls bedrooms to be reconfigured, a place to do homework and manage new home base business. It has been such a pleasure to work with this great family and I look forward to what's to come.

I have over 5 projects that need to be photographed so that's no small feat, nor inexpensive so enjoy the photos and a glimpse of what's to come when the website is in full swing.

Family Room with new paint, recovered chair and 2 new bookshelves.


Here is the custom designed media cabinet...it's not a light as it came out in the photo-the professional photographers really do earn every dollar in my eyes.
