Large recliner chairs. "My husband is tall," she said when she contacted me, "and is no longer comfortable watching tv on a sofa." She called them behemoths (I had to laugh at that) and was hoping we could design the family room in a way to disguise them or the fact that "one of us (me, she said) is not old." The idea of the recliners was causing her a lot of angst. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FyRRvvtz3xo/YXXrsUzYdSI/AAAAAAAAExc/SRLbxRyP6qMjlG7Dwt9rkW1Jdm_w71vLgCLcBGAsYHQ/s3971/IMG_4829.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3971" data-original-width="2978" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FyRRvvtz3xo/YXXrsUzYdSI/AAAAAAAAExc/SRLbxRyP6qMjlG7Dwt9rkW1Jdm_w71vLgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4829.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was the beginning of July 2020 and the pandemic had been running our lives for the last three months.

It has been almost a year since this project was completed ... it was a wonderful collaboration between my client, her builder and myself. I worked in person with my client locally but the project was 1,000 miles away in Wyoming. I worked off the building plans as we selected the finish materials... tile, fabrics (oh, so many fabrics!), mirrors, light fixtures, knobs and pulls. Here are some working photos along with some of the finished ones. All photos were courtesy of my client.<br />

Hello!I have been absent from this dusty old blog for quite a few months now and it is about time I stopped in to say hello and check in! The New Year came with a new set of challenges for me and in order to stay <strike>sane</strike> balanced, I had to make some adjustments. One of the changes I made was to sell the wedding side of my business. In January, I handed the key to my storage unit with all my props and gave all the best wishes to two amazing (<i>and young!</i>) women that are already off to a great start. Here is a glimpse of one of their first events ...<br />

I really loved designing the weddings and when I look back on <a href="http://www.sherricassaradesigns.com/search/label/weddings">the weddings I styled</a> - especially the ones from last summer - I have such fond memories and the photos just make me smile.<br />

The weddings were always something I did "on the side." I began the wedding business after I designed <a href="http://www.sherricassaradesigns.com/2010_09_01_archive.html">my daughter's wedding</a> in 2010 and it kind of just evolved. The blog was created to promote the weddings and I did no more than two or three a summer for "fun". I think if I was 20 (or 30 - let's be honest) years younger I may have chosen to focus on weddings primarily or maybe even just do flowers. Honestly, it is so much fun and such great energy. I think part of what I loved about the weddings is that it was just all so positive - from the brides, the love, the excitement. And when it was over it was over. (No calls months later that there is an issue with a defective product, no fires to put out... all positive and lovely). That being said, it was time to move on and focus on other things...<br />

We spent the long Thanksgiving weekend with my daughter in her little tiny town. It was everything a Thanksgiving weekend should be ... family and great food and time to sit and relax. And ponder. I took a drive one day into the mountains and soaked in the golden leaves and collected some pine cones and evergreen branches. And I did a little research on Advent. </div>

When I was growing up we did not talk about Advent. Or if we did, I missed it. Advent to me was opening up little cardboard calendars with chocolates inside ... it was nothing more than a countdown to Christmas. </div>

One candle for each day until Christmas. The tall candles are for the Sundays leading up to Christmas and one for Christmas Day. Each day I will light one candle, read a scripture and say a prayer. It is a way to stop and reflect; to focus on what is important to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I read that the candles represent Hope, and Love, Joy and Peace. Can't we can all use more of those?</div>

Sarah and Bryan got married at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine and it was the perfect wedding. </div>

I loved this wedding. The bride knew exactly what she wanted ... vintage furniture sitting on the lawn, old doors for her altar, bouquets with a few spectacular flowers and a lot of greenery and old bottles for her centerpieces. The guest book table belonged to her great-grandmother. The typewriter is mine and she purchased her guest book from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/193807973/rustic-wooden-guest-book-with?ref=shop_home_active_14">The Paper Walrus</a> on Etsy.<br />

It was her idea to use the ladders. I was happy to use this one of mine that had never been used. We had planned on placing two large white balloons with tassels - one on either side of the aisle but the wind prevented us from doing so. White rose petals lined the aisle (the photos were taken before they were placed) and the smallest of two flower girls was pulled down the aisle in a red wagon.</div>

The bride and her father found the doors, hinged them together doors and painted them to match the bridesmaid's dresses. We hung my sister's antique chandelier from a brace on the top. I painted my side table to match the door and we used it to hold two small posies for the bride and groom's mothers. </div>

The bride and her mom collected old bottles and votive holders for months. Before the wedding she dropped them off and I added some of mine to make 10 sets; one for each guest table. The day before the wedding I filled them with flowers and then placed them in empty wine boxes to transport them. We rented the brass candle holders - three for each table.<br />

Several (four?) years ago I purchased an Ikea dresser for our guest room. It was the summer both girls were home. It was a temporary need and at some point the dresser ended up in the kitchen.<br />

When we remodeled our kitchen we threw a marble top on it and it serves as extra storage and occasionally as a sideboard for serving. I never changed the glass knobs I had put on it when it was in the bedroom.<br />

It's hard to believe it is already November. We had a great time visiting my daughter for Halloween ... we dressed up and ate bad things and handed out candy to about 1,000 trick-or-treaters of all ages. The streets were <i>filled</i> with costumed families, kids of all ages and even dogs. I have never seen anything like it. Even the grown ups were in costume ... serious costumes ... Disneyland quality costumes. </div>

One of the local churches dropped off bags of candy to every house in my daughter's neighborhood to help with the expenses of giving out candy to so many trick-or-treaters. They enclosed a lovely note thanking all the residents for supporting the community. They served coffee and hot chocolate in the little neighborhood park and even came by the next morning to pick up any trash that was left behind. Small towns are the best!</div>

We are spending Halloween at my daughter's beautiful house this year. She is supposed to get about 1,000 trick-or-treaters coming by. This will be her first year handing out candy; apparently she lives in "the" neighborhood. We are going "all out" with our costumes ... we will each be a character from The Little Mermaid. We spent hours making our costumes ...</div>

Last weekend my mom and I went to what was advertised as a large community garage sale. It was held in three different neighborhoods of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Eichler">Eichler</a> homes fairly close to where we live. I grew up in a mid-century modern home and we were hoping we would not only find some nice modern "stuff" for sale but also see some great houses. It was disappointing. There were only a few homes that participated and nothing for sale that was all that exciting, but it was a fun day with my mom and we made the best of it by going out for breakfast afterwards and perusing through some antique stores nearby. I did pick up a couple of side tables at one home we stopped by though. They were $10 each. </div>

I knew immediately that I would paint one of them gold and wasn't really sure what I would do with the other but for $10 I decided I couldn't leave without them both.</div>

I used black spray paint, acrylic paint for the reddish-orange one and a new paint I found at <a href="http://www.michaels.com/">Michael's </a>for the blue one. It is by <a href="https://decoart.com/chalkyfinish/colors">Americana Decor and is called Chalky Finish</a>. It is similar to <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/">Annie Sloan's </a>chalk paint and just like hers, there is no prep needed (my kind of paint!). </div>

I am working with a long distance client. I helped them with their house when they lived near Chicago and again when they moved to the East Coast. Now they are living in a new home (a gorgeous home, may I say?) in Kentucky and we have a clean slate. The dining room is the first room to be tackled and they were considering the <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/category/products.jsp?link=SalvagedWoodTrestleRectangularTable&categoryId=cat2140116">Salvaged Wood Trestle Table</a> from Restoration Hardware.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But there was hesitation. They were torn between this new look for them or what they have always loved - a dark, more refined looking dining table. To help them, I put together two boards bringing in similar elements that they are leaning towards - a little industrial, a little modern mixed in with their very traditional looking architecture - one with the table from Restoration Hardware and another with a dark table. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Option 1:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r-mZLp7Ai1I/VDLi6AQH3ZI/AAAAAAAAaj4/s51qP_tDLEI/s1600/OB-Petersen%2BDining%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BRH%2BTable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r-mZLp7Ai1I/VDLi6AQH3ZI/AAAAAAAAaj4/s51qP_tDLEI/s1600/OB-Petersen%2BDining%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BRH%2BTable.jpg" height="456" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Option 2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UYeM59qkXzc/VDLi6CFrmlI/AAAAAAAAaj8/SBvpnJTmVJ4/s1600/OB-Petersen%2BDining%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BDark%2BTable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UYeM59qkXzc/VDLi6CFrmlI/AAAAAAAAaj8/SBvpnJTmVJ4/s1600/OB-Petersen%2BDining%2BRoom%2Bwith%2BDark%2BTable.jpg" height="456" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They liked them both. More confusion. And so I asked a question, "which look do you see continuing throughout the entire house?" That seemed to help and I think the dark table is going to win. I found two that would work in the large dining room; one more understated - a nice backdrop for the rest of the furnishings, and another - an exclamation point. </div>

The bottles will be used for the centerpieces. She brought them all over on Sunday and we played around with them a bit to get a feel for what the tables will look like:</div>

We are working on a new mountain home she is building in Wyoming. We selected fabrics for the large living room and also for the master bedroom. It is a large house and we are going room by room ...<br />

I presented the first inspiration board (you can see it <a href="http://www.sherricassaradesigns.com/2014/09/colorful-pillows-and-painted-furniture.html">here</a>) 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 <a href="https://olioboard.com/">Olioboard</a>. But today, it showed up on my Facebook page saying I might be interested to know that it was being sold on <a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/product/41789/745063/506911?f=fbx&utm_medium=display&utm_source=facebook&&utm_campaign=FBX-A3&utm_content=1806234776&utm_term=8-26-FBX-A3-NF-HDD-4%20Days&utm_medium=display&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=FBX-A3&utm_term=8-26-FBX-A3-NF-HDD-4+Days&utm_content=%7CA3-+Product+-+4+days%7C-%7CFBX-Newsfeed%7C&f=fb&nan_pid=1806234776">One King's Lane</a>. For $369. Nice! (Scary that my research is being tracked, but it was quite convenient!)<br />

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. </div>

Have you seen the newest <a href="http://www.freshpreserving.com/">Ball</a> mason jar color? In 1913, the Ball brothers launched their first <a href="http://blog.fillmorecontainer.com/index.php/2013/02/26/ball-introduces-limited-edition-heritage-mason-jar-collection/">perfect mason jar</a>. In 2013, to celebrate their 100th anniversary, the makers of the <a href="http://www.freshpreserving.com/">Ball mason jars</a> created a limited edition Heritage collection. The first color they released was the blue jar and it was the perfect color to use for a couple of weddings I recently styled.</div>

I am working out of my office all day today - trying to stay hydrated in this miserable heat we are having. And watching out the window while a film crew sets up for a Kia commercial that is being filmed in front of my house this evening. They will be setting up lighting in my front yard and inside my house ... fun! </div>

My youngest daughter, the one who is a farmer, is in town and yesterday we took a little trip up to Venice to check out some vintage stores and to have lunch. </div>

I am not normally <i>that </i>into vintage, but since I have been doing the <a href="http://www.sherricassaradesigns.com/search/label/weddings">weddings</a> I have been scouting the vintage stores more and more. It is amazing what you can find!<br />

We started in <a href="http://themartcollective.com/">The Mart Collective</a> on Lincoln Blvd. The Mart Collective is 16,000 sq. ft. of vintage and antique objects, furniture and art in 120 dealer spaces. It opened last year and is owned by the former managers of Wertz Brothers Antique Mart in Santa Monica which also closed last year. We spent an hour browsing around ... we could have easily spent two. It was packed with so many fun things and a lot of bar carts. I have <i>a thing</i> for <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sherricassara/bar-carts/">bar carts</a>. Have you seen my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sherricassara/bar-carts/">Pinterest page</a> devoted to them?</div>

I found this one first. I kind of liked it. In fact, I thought about it the entire time I was walking through the store. It was not in the best condition but it was only $60. Or so I thought. I went back to look at it just before we left thinking it would come home with me ...</div>

The Mart Collective is just across the street from the Hardware store. I couldn't resist shooting the sign - remember my <i>sign obsession</i> during our <a href="http://www.sherricassaradesigns.com/search/label/Route%2066">Route 66 road trip</a> last summer? After we left the vintage store we headed over to Abbott Kinney Blvd. to walk around and have lunch. We ended up at <a href="http://www.lemonadela.com/">Lemonade</a> a fresh and colorful cafeteria. </div>

It was a really fun morning! My favorite salad was the beet salad. Funny thing ... right after lunch I had an appointment with my kidney doctor who told me that I need to avoid certain foods from now on so I won't get another kidney stone. Guess what was first on the list ... <i>beets</i>! And then he went on to say that citrus will help balance the bad foods so I should drink plenty of ... <i>lemonade</i>! It made me smile anyway (until I saw that chocolate was also on the bad list). Oy vey!</div>

There is something about Saturdays that just because it is <i>Saturday</i>, it feels different. If I am meeting with a client on a Saturday, it just <i>feels</i> more casual, even if it is not. During the week I would never do this, but on a Saturday if I am meeting a client, I do not feel the need to dress up as much. And I might not even shower (shhh!). I <i>love</i> Saturdays. I don't feel guilty to watch television during the day ... or take a nap. It is a day to refresh. And not matter how hard the week was ... you get to start over on Sunday. Kind of like a new year. Or a new season.<br />

This is going to be a barn wedding and it will be filled with vintage furniture, gold candelabras and naked cakes on peach pedestals. We planned and made some changes and worked on specific details. And these will be used:</div>

There is something very magical and exciting about planning and creating a wedding. They are new beginnings. It is not just about this one day. It is about a the fresh new start as a couple beginning their life together; a coming together of two ... joined as one. A new season of their lives. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday! </div>

This was a quick inspiration board for a darling young family that needs some color added to their family room. I like to give a client a general idea (and a good visual) of the direction I am going before I spend to much time specifying individual pieces. For this room we will be adding a media cabinet, ottoman coffee table, side table, a large area rug and lamps and pillows. I am using the charcoal rug to tie in with their new kitchen's subway tile. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For $40 this pillow in Celerie Kemble's Bleecker (Peacock) is a better price than I could do myself if I picked up the fabric and had the pillow made. One thing you want to make sure when ordering a pillow cover on Etsy though, is to check to see if the fabric is on both the front and the back of the pillow. Often they put a plain white fabric on the back. I don't mind that look sometimes, but for the pillow above, I would want the fabric to be the same on both sides. Some shops will give you a choice. You can also change the size of the pillow. I generally use a 20" pillow. You will want to get a down insert that is 2" larger than the cover. </div>

The colorful pillows will go in a family room with a plain brown sofa that needs some livening up. We are going to add some <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40168318/">Ikea Ribba</a> frames in white (like I used in the pediatric clinic) behind the sofa to add some lightness and tie in their white mantle across the room. </div>

While we are waiting for the new <a href="http://www.zgallerie.com/p-9243-omni-leaner-mirror.aspx">floor mirror</a>, my client and I visited my framer to get some new artwork ready to hang. </div>

This gal and her husband love art and always surprise me with new things they want to hang. She bought the piece above from the art website <a href="http://www.youshouldbuyart.com/pages/about-us">20x200</a>. We found a very interesting frame for it that will look fantastic in their beach house.</div>

The new rug is perfect and the dresser will give them much needed storage as well as a nice piece of furniture to anchor the TV that is mounted on the wall above it. To remind you, this was the inspiration board:</div>

The rug was from <a href="http://www.barclaybutera.com/caravan-blue">Barclay Butera</a> and although you can't tell in my iPhone photo - it makes the room look twice as big. The new lamps are gorgeous. We put one on each side of the bed.</div>

It took me a couple of days to recuperate after styling two big weddings in two weeks - but it didn't take me long to get back into the swing of things. I managed to fit in a couple of lovely lunches and celebrate a couple of birthdays ... and even attend a wedding as a <i>guest</i>.</div>

One of my interns (I have two), Rachel, got married last weekend as well, and it was lovely to sit and enjoy a wedding where I didn't do a thing. Rachel and her mom did everything themselves.

A year ago I received an email from a client who is now a dear friend. Her daughter was getting married the following August and she needed help. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"I just feel you are the one that could
bring magic to this wedding. I'm saying my prayers that you will be available. It
would simply be bliss if I could count on you,"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span>she said. </div>

Because the bride lives in Australia, the mother and the bride's sister (who lives 2,000 miles away) were in charge of planning the wedding. They searched for venues, researched DJ's and photographers, went to food tastings and cake tastings, and the bride's mom started folding cranes. A thousand of them.</div>

Japanese lore holds that a crane can live for a thousand years. Strong yet graceful, the crane, who mates for life, is a traditional symbol of love in Japan. The ancient practice of folding a thousand cranes is called Senbazuru and when given as a wedding gift, is a wish for a thousand years of happiness and prosperity for the couple.<br />

From my very first meeting with the mother of the bride, the cranes were going to be an integral part of the wedding. She, along with a lot of help from her family and friends had been folding these magnificent creatures for months. And once the cranes were folded ... all thousand of them, they had to be hung on fishing line. It is a true labor of love ... and one that was well worth it because they were absolutely spectacular.</div>
