A Mirror for Madison

A client requested a large mirror for her daughter's bedroom -

One of those really large mirrors that you lean up against a wall.

She found one on clearance and scored a great deal on it - but the look was not really teenage-girl appropriate.

It was black with gold trim.

Fine for an adult home - but not what she was looking for.

She brought the mirror and asked for a make-over -

the instructions were bright and "girlie" - include fashion, shoes, etc.

I think I accomplished the task.

Dresses, shoes, make-up, handbags, perfume, hairspray . . .

all things girl.

Of course - as usual - photos don't do it justice.

But it should brighten up a bedroom quite nice!

In other news -

we are experiencing rain . . .

rain . . .

and more rain.

I'm a born and raised Oregonian.

I know what rain is -

but I can't take this anymore.

How do you deal with overwhelming gray?

Because right now - all I want to do is crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head.

I want to scream.

I have no patience. I used to tell my kids - my patience was the size of a watermelon and now it is the size of a grain of rice.

Yup - I'm kind of "DONE".

On Sunday - my husband grabbed me and pulled me out of the studio.

The sun had broke through the clouds.

He sat me down in a chair on our deck and we soaked up the warmth.

It only lasted for about 10 minutes - but for that 10 minutes, I felt so much better.

Please, please, please - mother nature - please give us a break with the rain so that we can be reintroduced to the sun.

I have always had a wonderful relationship with Mr. Sun and I would like to reignite it.

I promise not to complain about the heat.

And may I say, Mother Nature . . .Thank you - in advance.
