life according to my iPhone

true story…about 5 months ago I broke my phone. I have been rolling to meetings, conducting business, and taking my daily photos with the most jacked up phone a girl could have..I have been to lazy  busy to get it fixed.

so

This week I had a revelation, and finally decided that I am a grown ass woman who works damn hard and deserves to have electronic devices that work.

I bought a new iPhone and am snapping away! What a difference a snazzy phone makes

so here is what my new phone has been up to…

My wall got MYFAMB‘ed…

Dudes, this bitch has some serious skills and everyone should get in on it before she is so famous she cuts her ear off..

what say you?

BIGGER WINDOWS

I want a new house.

there are many reasons why, but the one which stands out to me the most is the fact that it is dark

Like, I need overhead lighting in the middle of the day dark, and that shit just don’t fly with me.

I am thinking about intentionally slipping on a banana peel in a supermarket so I can land myself in a million dollar law suit that affords me a window heavy abode…

south facing preferably.

Texas

Folks I am in Texas..

Dallas to be specific.

I am here on internet biz and fortunately get to stay with the beyond lovely Molly and Sally  who generously offered up their pad for a couple of us gals to crash in for few nights. Like a true blogger sorority , I will be sharing a bed with Mearse while the lovely Julia shacks up in the other room with Sally..I am sure some silliness will occur so I will be documenting it on Instagram for shits and giggles.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend…I know I will!

Spring Has sprung

The Lewis clan has been outside as much as possible lately.

The weather is STUNNING and I am obsessed with trying to live more of my life outside getting my daily dose of vitamin D and fresh air.

We planted our spring herbs, bought some outdoor furniture and a new outdoor dining table, and we built a Fire-pit!!

Check it out..we still have a TON to do outside but I am making baby steps!

I bought THIS bench on sale and had some striped back cushions made

IMG_9111

 

Then I had some cushions made for these IKEA chairs…cheap and adorable!

 

 

IMG_9114

 

We bought an unbrella from Target which was on sale! Woohoo!

 

IMG_9125_2

 

I am taking the big ugly redwood planters out and replacing them with pots and succulents….see below

Then the duck and I planted a little herb garden and my fave part about it are the funky mexican style pots from Home Depot!

IMG_9119_2

I also repurposed an old beverage/ice bin for a new planter to grow our Thai Chilis

IMG_9120_2

And then the best thing, the duck built an outdoor fireplace

which we sit at all the time and get fat eating s’mores galore!

 I cant wait to do more landscaping and adding to the firepit area with some funky chairs chairs and gravel….eventually it will look a little something like this!

Boston

I must send my love to all the victims and their families of the Boston tragedy.

Yesterday I held my G a little tighter and worried way to much about the world she will be growing up in. Its all too much to comprehend and little words can describe the giant pit I have in my stomach.

wtf?

I have about a minute and a half to get someone on board and slam bam into the thick of things so lets talk about it.

First and foremost, lets get the “REQUIREMENTS” out of the way..

You have to totally be obsessed with design to fit in around here!!

You must have a reliable car, live in LA, you must be an amazing note taker, and you MUST have a good attitude. I don’t tolerate whining, and I like to surround myself with positive and creative people. No complainers!

In your resume please Include anything that is relevant to YOUR design and style. If you have a blog, send a link. Same with instagram, twitter feed, Pinterest… whatever you want me to see to show me who you are!

If you are currently still enrolled in school you can send me some of your school projects, as long as you feel like they truly define your style and who you want to be as a designer. If you know photoshop (which you need to to qualify for this position) make me a mood board showing me a dream interior… Do something to stand out! Being professional is great, but I am a personable person, so the person I hire must ALSO be personable!
