spring colors and daisys

I love being busy, and having 50 million things to do. This past week was just insane but I enjoyed every bit of it. I held my first event, at the hubsters medical school, for a faculty appreciation breakfast, and I have to say it was a success =). I decided to use a variety of vases, all in different hues of yellow, and I found the perfect trio! Spring colors and Daisys call for a match made in heaven! My husband helped me set up the night before the event, and when the clock struck 12 we went to a local cafe to celebrate my birthday! Pearls are the prettiest, and diamonds are a girls best friend, put then together and wah la! The hubby is the best :)






I spent the rest of my weekend at home in Houston, and it was filled with surprises. I came home to this delicious tower of goodies made by my brother and sister, it was as yummy as it looks!

RS t u d i o [events&decor]

So it's official! RS t u d i o events&decor! This was my BIG plan all along. After months of preparing and years of planning, I have finally decided to give it a shot! It all started from my obsession with weddings, ever since I was young gal, sounds trite, but it's so true. While studying design, and at the same time planning my own wedding, I came across many decorators all with a similar approach, and the outcome mundane. I felt it was a necessary for decor to undergo a face lift, and become more...

*insert smart words*
contemporary.modern.eco-friendly.GREEN.edgy.chic.organic.columns-less.
recycled.hand made.DIY like.clean.

I hope you get the gist of where I'm going with this. RS t u d i o events&decor will offer a unique service and approach. From the first consultation, I will get an idea of your wants and requirements. From there I will sketch out a design, provide 3-d computer models, as well as a physical model, so you know exactly what to expect. Whether it be a wedding, a special shower, a birthday bash, or an engagement party you can rely on RS t u d i o to plan and decorate an unforgettable event. I will soon post ideas and examples of eco-friendly designs, and more pictures of my work. Stay tuned for some uh-mazing designs and events!!!

I heart plywood anything

I've been thinking about a name for a very long time, and it has to be the hardest part of the entire process of starting a business. I did finish my page layout though, I kept it simple.


I purchased a plywood beauty today it could maybe pass as the big brother to the Eames Lounge Chair. Oh how my heart yearns for thee.

But for now I am content with Big Brother.

Identity

So I watched an episode of Hoarders today, I have to admit I never realized that a person can live in such clutter and be okay with it. I mean some of the individuals on the show just make me sick, but then I feel horrible because it may be a mental issue, due to depression, anxiety, loss of a loved one, but by all means its not going to get any better living in such horrid conditions. It really sickens me. Anyways the psychologist on the show said something useful to the hoarder today

" If you're defining yourself as a handyman, it's fine if the reason you do it is that you are actually fixing and building things, on the other hand if you're deriving that sense of identity because of the things you own, then you are actually fooling yourself"

Wonderful quote! I see many people today calming to be this and that, without having proper knowledge or experience of a particular field, or genre. I mean just because you own a couple of cook books does not make you Julia Child, and just because you purchased a brush set on sale from Hobby Lobby, you are not suddenly Picasso, and just because you have a bedroom clothed in the latest contemporary furniture with self supporting shelves, you are not an interior designer. People need to stop fooling themselves. Its time we all find one thing we are good at and become experts at it. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying its wrong to venture and try new things, I'm all for adventure, but please do us all a favor and don't title yourself as such and such until you are qualified. Just my two cents. Night.

new finds

Today was a good day. I finished writing a proposal, sent out my portfolio to a firm, went shopping, and found some interesting items, worked out, cooked dinner, and watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, oh and played with Nimbus until he got tired! anyways I found some neat vases, and a whole lot of Christmas items on sale. I haven't decided what exactly I will do with the shiny green leaves, but I'm sure I will find a way to use them. i think i will call it a night. ciao!


I will figure out what to do with the treasures I found today..


to top it all off, I made some creamy tomato soup, with veggies, Alfredo pasta, and chicken. It was perfect for a cold cold day. When I make soups I just add a whole lot of ingredients and pray it turns out well, so far this strategy has never failed. or maybe my husband's taste buds just love everything I cook. :)

i can't stop thinking, i even dreamed it.

So I cant stop thinking about a plan I will soon propose. I kept thinking about it in my sleep, not to mention my cat Nimbus wants all the attention when I sleep. So lets just say I tossed and turned a lot. He's my new baby. I wasn't sure how my husband would react to living with a cat, since the only pet he ever had was a rabbit, but he LOVES Nimbus, I mean how could you not, just look at the cute Persian Chinchilla.

Anyway, I am going out today to purchase some items, which I shall add to my inventory. I will scout some vintage shops and perhaps some antique stores and see what I find. In the mean time I will leave you with some pictures of a flower bouquet I made for a dear friend.

i've been thinking

so our apartment is almost complete! actually I take that back. I don't suppose it can ever be complete, because I always keep finding things that I like. As much as I agree with minimalism, and try to strive towards it, at least in design, I'm not sure if in other aspects I can ever be a true minimalist. I am working on a book shelf to add to the family room. I took an old traditional bookshelf, and altered it to my liking. I am a big advocate of DIY projects, and in the new future I hope to add creative projects, which can be easily done by anyone.

Speaking of projects, I have a big project on mind, which I shall announce in the next couple of days. Lets just call it a really big design project. In the mean time, I will leave you with some pictures of "things" I have, and <3.>

the item pictured below, has to be one of the smartest designed items at Ikea, if you do not have one, I highly suggest you purchase it. It will save you space, clutter, and its actually kinda cute looking.
