I have been neglecting my blog posts lately and spending much of my design time on
instagram. For those of ya'll that follow my postings there, you know that today is a big and exciting day for me! I've got a photo shoot going on at the house today.
About six months ago, Anne Gridley of
Gridley + Graves Photography contacted me about doing the shoot after seeing a few of my
house photos on the blog. I was over the moon excited. The shoot will be featured in one of the Harris Publications' for home decorating. It won't likely be in print until next year. I'm thrilled with the opportunity!
I swung into high gear finishing up partially completed projects around the house. Including, the
vestibule and completely making over my
son's bedroom. In the next coming weeks, I will be sharing details about these projects.
In the meantime, here's a sneak peek into today's shoot:
Gary Graves is a master at staging and styling. It's amazing at how he's been able to transform my kitchen into an inviting and welcoming palette. I almost feel like I need to add some vodka to the lemonade and kick start a party over here. It's fascinating to watch talented minds work. Love the ideas they've come up with for displaying my items.

These guys mean serious bizness. It's amazing how these photo lights help optimize the perfect lighting. The digital results are breath-taking. (Of course, the talent of Gridley + Graves helps, too).
I initially styled the
mudroom bench to look like a little garden center. Anne and Gary scrapped the flowers and garden shovel and opted for casual jackets hanging on the hooks.

After working so diligently to get the house styled for this shoot, I'll be sharing some updates made to the house that haven't been seen on the blog. Look for that in the coming weeks. (How's that for a teaser)?

Gary tweaks the pillows and curtains in the
family room . A lot of people on instagram commented on the art above the fireplace... this is by the talented and amazing artist, Antoinette Wysocki. Read more about her
here. And visit her website

The team was here for about nine hours and said they got about 17 final shots. I'll keep you posted when they go to print!
Hope you enjoy your weekend!
Fascinating. It's awesome to see how these genius minds work!
