Some Changes..

Good Afternoon!

I have been working with the amazing SARA!  Yes, she rocks and is an absolute genius at what she does.  I gave her the task of coming up with a logo for Modern Earth Design.  I think she did a brilliant job... so

TaDa..

I will soon have my page cleaned up and the header changed.  It's a wonderful feeling to see what was once just a dream begin to become reality.  

If you need someone to help you with a logo design and branding let me know : )

Hope you all have a great day!!

BTW...

I am on Jane.Tv .  All you have to do is go to the DIY section and scroll down and you will see some of my content on there.  This is so exciting.  While you are there check out the rest of the site..so much good information and shows to watch.

Our Trip

Good Morning!

Several weeks ago we drove down to Ohio and I explained the circumstances here.  

Even through the trying situation we made it an enjoyable trip as much as possible.

Our first rest stop about 2hrs in.  My daughter took this pic : )

We saw many cool trucks on our drive down..

That really makes me happy!  I love this..might have to frame it : )

When we arrived we were honored to have the President of Jane Tv, Jackie Dorman, open up her home for my family to stay.

It was so good to be with them.  There is Jackie getting business done.

She had an interview set up with a magazine in Easton.  I love coming to this place! It has every store imaginable that could meet all your needs.  Check out the site and see for yourself and it is a family friendly atmosphere.

Saw this car there..

STUNNING!

Love the color blue with the camel color interior.  My husband was drooling : ))

While my husband was falling for the car I was dying over this outdoor fireplace.

And of course the obvious question was, "Can you build me one?"  That's me and the other man in my life.

I hope you all enjoy Halloween and stay safe.

Can It Be: Living Room (and some cool news)

Hey Everyone!

The weather is beginning to change and my wood stove is working in full force in the evenings.  I wrote about ours here.  I love it and it saves us on our energy bills.

Let's do a recap of what has been accomplished so far..

Family Room (still a work in progress)..

(need new furniture..but my floors are done)

Hallway

Dining Room

Now we move onto our living room.

I wish I had the complete before pics but I don't.  All I can say is it had the same nasty, stained, beige carpet that was throughout the house.  Watercolored huge valance over the windows with the long 1980's blinds.  All the walls throughout the house were painted white except for the family room.

For those of you who have been around the blog for awhile you know what I asked for right away.. tear up that carpet and lets continue the hardwood floors.

We continued the hardwood floors from the family room..to the dining room and into the living room space.  We moved from a really small home and needed new furniture.  We got this at a steal from Slumberland.  The two white chairs are Natuzzi and they were a discontinued item that we got at an unbelievable price.  As you can see we continued the chocolate venetian plaster wall oppsite of the wall in the dining area.  I love the big windows!  I am the kind of person that has to have a lot of natural light in a space.

The floors came out beautiful and again my husband did a great job. 

Will let you know how this furniture arrangement faired.

Got Some Exciting News

It's Monday, did you all get your morning coffee?  

I have some really exciting news that has been in the works for months and is just the beginning of many amazing things.  No I'm not pregnant..lol.

There is a new tv station based out of Columbus, Ohio that is called Jane tv, take a look at their promo..

(please press the pause button to your right to shut off music)

The beautiful lady, Jacqueline Dorman, who explains what Jane tv is all about in the video is the CEO/President of this station.  I am honored to be asked by her to be a regular contributor to their website.  We will discuss design and life because I believe the two go hand in hand. 

 Jane.tv will have entertaining and relevant shows and I can't wait for it to hit full throttle.  

The website is being upgraded now.  They will go live later this week but the official launch is September 9, 2011.

Check out their fan page here.  

I hope you all have a wonderful week.
