MOOD BOARD


After getting back to the Casa du Borghese last week to check on a current project here, which is coming along swimmingly. My clients kitchen and bath have been gutted down to bare bones and floor boards. On Friday , we went to see the progress of the cabinet maker, River Craft. Looks great...they said the cabinets are coming along nicely. We went to various places for cabinets, but nothing was suiting them, then they decided they wanted to go custom made. Fine with me! But warned them it would be a fortune. I also liked we went with a local maker too, and not a chain. The install should start taking place in two, to  three weeks. Now with these projects, it puts me back in the mood of interiors or lack of interiors should I say. Ill be heading back to the ancestral home again this week,  to start the other project for another connection, work for my friend who wants help in his shop, and get my first prick of the vaccine! My current mood summed up nicely....
Scenic pictures by 3D artist Joe Mortell He gives me mood.

And nothing wrong with a pinch of Caterina Valente to kick off the week....

  1. That opening photo: Yes! I keep saying the back yard needs to "grow up." The statues and other surprise trinkets are all good, the pool of course, but the rest looks like it's been neglected even though it's trimmed every two weeks. *sigh*

  2. I'm loving the mid-century modern indoor-outdoor-indoor lifestyle!

    And we're getting pricked on Thursday ... and then we get the vaccine!

  3. Good luck with the interiors.

    Those ladies sure have sour pusses! They must have been in contact with der Trumpenfuhrer.

    I'm having my second shot next week; several of my friends have had their seconds already, but then I'm not quite as antique as they are. Hope you have no side effects from yours.

    1. The kitchen is exciting. It's been a lot of planning since February. Time for it to come to fruition. The price tag in insane, but my design time and services commission will be darn nice.

    1. That's it. It would start out being a home makeover show, and end up a Happy Hour Show.

  16. You're so fun. Lead with the video, so I can listen to the music and then view your pics. You have such a wonderful sense of what compliments... I want to experience it all at once. Divine. That's the only word that comes to mind. Breakfast At Tiffany's has got nothing on you, hon. Love and kizzes.
