Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, friends! What a whirlwind week! I actually woke up this morning completely surprised that it was really Friday. The week just flew by so quickly. Perhaps because two of the days were spent out on shoots – that always makes hours fly by like minutes.

On Monday, I styled a kitchen for House Beautiful magazine in the UK that was remodeled after the movie Something’s Gotta Give. I kept calling it As Good As It Gets all week but that’s the wrong movie! Something’s Gotta Give had a really lovely beachy kitchen and this one was similarly airy and fresh. It involved bringing in tons of white pieces for the cabinets and big, fat, fluffy hydrangeas. Styling is a ton of work physically but one of my favorite jobs I do at the moment. Maybe I’ll share a little bit about the process with you next week. My friends are always surprised it’s even a job!

This weekend, we’ll hopefully be sprucing up the garden a little and planting some vegetables. The chickens haven’t gotten out once this week, so I think the coast is clear. Although the moment I say that is the moment they usually flap their way out.

Are you up to anything nice this weekend? It’s another long one here in Ireland, so here’s hoping the weather is nice!

    That’s hilarious – I always mix up those movie titles too! The kitchen looks beautiful, and Nancy Meyers films are always the most aesthetic! You have a wonderful blog!

    […] I mentioned my recent styling work last week, I said I’d write a little post about styling since most of my friends can’t believe […]
