All to often in my profession, pictures are styled to the hilt. and the emotion of a room or a shot is squeezed right out of it.<br /><br />I managed a quick walk early this morning, vacuumed and cleaned the bathrooms and have been sitting at my desk the rest of the day - designing a new fireplace and shelving units on project Sally is doing in Savin Hill. It's time I stopped and got back outside for a bit - before Sally's b'day dinner...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JohnThoughts on Designhttp://blog.wilsonkelseydesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-60690478344388039822012-03-11T16:17:02.247-04:002012-03-11T16:17:02.247-04:00I do love the time change in the spring when I am ...I do love the time change in the spring when I am anxious for more garden time in the warm afternoons, but I would like to switch back at Labor Day so the mornings would be lighter in the fall.<br /><br />Your walls are looking good.
