<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we had a very relaxing vacation in north carolina last week. we rented the cutest cabin with a beautiful view. we survived some serious class 3 rapids, i picked some beautiful wild mountain flowers, visited mingo falls, had some fun in the sun on a pontoon boat and played cards by a campfire. </div>

my recent trip to chicago was pretty top notch. a furniture and textile company flew us in their private jet to visit showrooms at the merchandise mart. we stayed at a beautiful hotel called public, went on an architectural boat tour and ate lots of really good food! here is a collection of my most favorite images from the trip.</div>

i had the opportunity to be on a team with two other designers to design arrangements for the aia awards this year. since the event was architecture and construction related we decided to use a material that complimented their profession. we created the arrangements with electrical wire and nestled a combination of succulents in the nest with river rocks. pretty awesome!</div>

i recently had to have the front porch of my house rebuilt and for some crazy reason i decided to paint the porch myself. eventually i would like to repaint the entire house but for now its just the porch and possibly the front door. and....to do this it has to match what i have now and what i would like for the future...complicated, yes! after last nights color scheming session with jose i think i've made some decisions. stay tuned!</div>

i'm back from a very awesome and memorable trip to the netherlands and paris! when my friend alicia asked me to join her on a trip to visit family in the netherlands, i could not decline. while planning the trip i found out that florance + the machine (whom i am in love with) would be in paris around the time we would be in the netherlands....so we decided to take the train to paris and wander the city for a few days. here are some of my favorite photos and memories from our trip.</div>

happy 2012! <br />
<br />
along with being on the mood committee for the nye event at moca i made my outfit for the event. if you remember me telling you the theme was venetian masquerade. i found a dress at an estate sale for $5...all the sequins were hand sewn, so pretty and exactly what i wanted! the only problem, it was too short. so i enlisted the help of my mom. we designed a train for the dress in a navy blue fabric. i handmade rosettes out of the same fabric to add as embellishments. and my mom made me a shawl with the fabric to bring it all together. for two women that have great ideas but are not seamstress it turned out beautiful!<br />
<br />
i also made my mask...which was a lot of fun. i bought a mask that had a simple black fabric then i created a lace pattern on the mask by using lace and spray paint. i love this look and it was so easy. i learned this little trick from my friend kelly who did this on coasters. next, i added beads, glitter and created an asymmetrical accent out of tulle to finish the mask off. <br />

i seem to keep things that i think will come back in style and that i might wear again later in life. my sister came over the other day and couldn't believe all the things i've kept from when we were young. and well and i guess my eyeglasses were one of those things. i was missing one pair, my very first pair (the little pink ones) and just found them at my parents house!...my collection is complete.</div>

the evolution of my eyeglasses....my first pair seem a lot like the red ones i wear now. i can't wait for the really round glasses to come back in style....i'm totally going to rock the ones from middle school.</div>

last week i showed you my <a href="http://brealhappy.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html">image boards</a> for masque noir. this week i would like to share mine and kelly's concept for our main area of focus, which are the nooks. there is an intimate little niche under both sets of stairs that look out into the space. we are creating a cozy place for people to come and mingle. </div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
above is a floor plan which shows two different seating areas. one is using existing benches that the museum has as a base and building on top to create decorative backs for a romantic little get away . the other is an informal space where people can gather. we plan to use tree stumps as stools and high back antique chairs to create an eclectic area for conversation. below are two images that we are using for inspiration. </div>

i got asked to be apart of the mood committee for this year's nye party at moca here in jacksonville and of course i said yes! this year's event is named masque noir with a venetian masquerade theme. with a tight budget most everything will be diy and with only two months away we have been brainstorming like crazy. below are my two image/mood boards. the other ladies also had awesome ideas and everyone is on the same creative wavelength! i can't wait to see it all come together. this past week we went further and provided sketches of the areas we are responsible for, i will share those next week. </div>
