M.I.A.

Hi all!  I know I've been M.I.A.  It's been so long since I blogged, I almost forgot my Blogger login and password (Shame on me!).  I do have a good excuse.  Really, I do.  I've been busy finishing up my final live design course.  You'll be happy to know I made an "A".  Woohoo! I've been M.I.A. but at least I got an "A".  Hehe!

Now I just have to complete my self-paced, online Art History class and I'll officially be done with design school.  Pray for me.  These papers are going to be the death of me.  I can't believe it's been 5 years since it all began.  I've also been busy pulling together my current design project, Project Teen Artist. 

The install is this weekend and I can hardly wait to bring it all together.  (Be sure to follow along of social media for sneak peeks.)  See, I told you I've been busy.

Today I thought I'd pop in and link you to my latest guest post on Pride Magazine's website.  I'm sharing a few of my favorite trends from High Point Market.  If you read my last post here, you already know one but I've got more to share so head over to Pride Magazine Online. 

I'll be back soon with a recap on the super cute teen girl's room project.  Have a great week!

"A New Opportunity!"

I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter holiday weekend.  I was able to get away for a bit and am actually still enjoying a little time off.  I thought I'd pop in to share with you a little good news I received recently. 

A couple of months ago I received a call from the Pride Magazine-Charlotte Editor.  You may recall, my Reinvented Furniture story featured in the November 2015 issue.

Anyway, she was calling to inform me that the magazine was in the process of sprucing up their website.  They were also looking to add a blog featuring local subject matter experts from a number of areas that might be of interest to their readership; one of which was interior design. 

Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity.  Pride Magazine has a long-standing history in the Charlotte community for being a go-to information resource for the African-American community and I'm honored to have been asked to contribute.

You can find me there once each month sharing home decorating ideas and inspiration.  As always, I'm sure they'll be plenty of budget-friendly design tips too!

This month, I thought I'd begin by introducing myself to the Pride readers.  Hop on over to check out my introductory post HERE. 

What an awesome opportunity! Until next time...
