For Claire...

Just a quickie post as its 1am and I'm still working!!! Over the moon as work has been coming in thick and fast so I'm putting in the hours tonight, trying to clear the decks a bit before I meet the 'ladies' for munchies and cocktails at Malmaison tomorrow. Following that I predict Sunday to be a complete write-off, spent mostly couch-surfing with a SATC box set and Chinese take-away :-)


My 'puter hasn't been very well lately, it's been running SO slow, making it impossible to do anything substantial in Photoshop. Thankfully we got it fixed last week and now I'm on fire!!! Anyway, I mention this as I've now finally got round to editing the rest of the pics I took of my friends' kids last month. Here is a wee peek at a couple...
















And since its the weekend, some music! This dude's got the moves...


Loving the new Archie Bronson Outfit album!

The Office....

So here is my lovely new office! What do you think???

The 4th and final mood board...



....and some very rough plans!









Got loads of cool cards from the lovely Faye at Johnny Come Lately which I framed to add splashes of colour to my white backdrop.



Jeff!



The computer cupboard.












The mirror which I plan to make into a pin board.











I love my new office!!!!! It makes me so happy and its such and inspiring space to work.....job done!! Hope you like it?

MIA

Wow, what a hectic month......hence the massive delay in posting! Now I have the problem of where to begin..


SO, April was mostly consumed with DIY. The main objective? My office! At last, 4 mood boards, 4 weeks and about 40 paint testers later its finally FINISHED! Well almost, still waiting for the doors for the built-in cupboards to be fitted but apart from that its FINISHED!!! Really chuffed with the results! I'll be blogging about that in a later post....


In between painting, filling, sanding, varnishing, painting, painting and more bloody PAINTING I have been working on quite a few freelance design jobs for a couple of main clients. I'm hoping this should keep the business ticking over nicely, its certainly been a great start!


On top of all that we made two trips to Glasgow this month, the first to see BRMC with Christopher and Claire (amazing gig, one of the best I've been to). The second to see LCD Soundsystem. It was just the two of us and the lovely John kindly provided us with bed, breakfast & transport. Also a great gig....well, what I can remember of it anyway! (John, if you are reading this sorry again about the chair and the cheek...you ken a luv ya! haha)



Glasgow Barrowlands
Definitely one of my favourite venues, a little bit grimy but retro as hell, ALWAYS have the best nights there!






Just ACE!

Some more housey stuff I love...






More posts soon!
