Flowers for a princess, new pillows and my temporary office

I took a friend to lunch at the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles yesterday (now that is a post in itself!!!) and on the way I stopped in at the flower mart to pick up some flowers ...
 

Because this little princess is turning three on Saturday and she is having a little bash.


Don't you wish you had natural ringlets like this?


I made some sweet arrangements to go on the dining tables ...


 And there will be plenty of cupcakes.



My youngest daughter (she is such a good auntie!) is taking out all the green sprinkles to get ready to decorate them. No green sprinkles allowed ... this party is all pink!


 And speaking of pink, I have a new pillow order I am working on.


 The fabrics are from Duralee, Pindler and Kravet. They will be going in this room:


I presented the first inspiration board (you can see it here) with orange accents and the client asked for pink instead. The teal ottoman was her favorite, but it was just a conceptual piece that I had found on Olioboard. But today, it showed up on my Facebook page saying I might be interested to know that it was being sold on One King's Lane. For $369. Nice! (Scary that my research is being tracked, but it was quite convenient!)





The rug is on its way, the media cabinet is installed, and this lamp is on it's way:



Progress always makes me smile. Another thing I am smiling about is that we have a house full of kids right now. One is staying for a while and the others are visiting. To make room, we needed to make a few adjustments and so temporarily I moved my office out into the living room. It is not permanent, but it works for now. 


In fact, it is kind of fun being out in the middle of everything ...


And the view is great! Have a happy weekend everyone!
