- gettin' some help :: kelly+olive interior designYesterday

As a designer myself, I totally get it when I'm entering a realm of the design world that, well, I'm just not an expert in... I'm good at type treatment, logo design, printing stuff on a letterpress. I'm not so good at space planning or figuring out how to get my shelving to look right in the back corner of my studio.
This is where I get in touch with Courtney & Lauren, from kelly+olive, to see if there's any way that they can squeeze in a consultation with an overworked stationery designer who's opening a shop in just under 8 weeks (!) -
Lucky for me, they said "yes!" and we're planning on meeting up at the new space some time in the next week or so. I'm super-excited to be working with some other design-minded people who will help me edit the ideas I've had swimming around in my brain for, well, years! and give me a nice, fresh perspective on my existing furniture and fixtures.
As their manifesto states, kelly+olive "will help you fall back in love with your stuff," - that is exactly what I need! Thanks, ladies!

This past weekend we got a dose of spring weather. It was sunny and warmer, and thus the Midwestern optimist in me was outside cleaning up the balcony. In warmer months, this becomes an extension of our living space and we use it all of the time.
I'm seeing bright pots and planters everywhere and imagining full, flourishing plants and flowers flowing off my balcony. Trouble is, I have a black thumb. Yes folks, I kill plants. However, I will try anew and this lovely assortment has me feeling 'this could be the year'.
