Hiatus

Hi!  I hope you all are doing well!  Just to let you know, I will be going on hiatus for one month.  No blogging, no social networking, just getting in touch with other areas of my life (and nature!).  Check out my other blog for a little more info.

Until then...

Myers Maison!

Hello! It has been far too long since I have posted, but I plan to improve! One reason is that I have started a new blog because I decided to separate business ventures and graphic design from home ventures and decorating. So...check out the new blog if you're interested in seeing the happenings at the Myers' household decor wise and otherwise!

Kitchen Thoughts

I'm officially in decorating mode. We just finished making our curtains a couple of days ago {more on that later} and I finally decided on a color to paint the kitchen! This is HUGE because I have a problem making decisions especially when it comes to colors. One thing that I vowed to do this year was to be more decisive, and it's going well thus far.

I've been looking for some kitchen lighting to replace the fluorescent rectangular standard fixture that our house came with. I want something a little more luxurious/modern/rustic {if there is such a fixture out there please leave a link!}. I also want my kitchen to give a feeling of happiness when you walk in it. I want the kind of kitchen that makes you want to cook when you're in it. Here are a few images that I fell in love with. I searched for French Kitchens {since I do have a love affair with France}.

I LOVE this kitchen. The brick with the crystal fixture and hints of grey and white looks lovely to me.

These lanterns are cute; I like the concept of multiple small fixtures hanging from the ceiling.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kitchen. So simple and chic. I could definitely see myself preparing a meal in here.

I love these fixtures and the clean look with pops of color.

Something about this image just makes me smile. It looks very inviting with all of the spices, oils, tools, etc. nicely organized by the stove. I also love that exposed brick.

Is anyone else working on a special room at the moment? Where do you go to find inspiring images?

60 Day {or so} Wrap Up

Happy New Year! Okay, I'm a few weeks late, but at least it's still January. Before I get back to my regularly scheduled blogging about hotttt designs, yummy food/recipes, killer decor and {insert random topic here}, I want to give you all a glimpse of my Holiday Season. Thanksgiving through New Years. That's right...all in pictures. My holiday's were filled with lots of...

Cake baking {from scratch!}
Wreath making...

Tree decorating...



Wine drinking...
Cookie decorating...
Fire lighting...
Pancake making...
Cranberry Sauce making (a first!)

Sister helping...
Snow falling...

Happy New Yearing!
I'm officially finished with the Holidays now that this post is complete. I will now continue with my regularly scheduled blogging {ideally more frequently than before}.

Adieu! :)

I'm baaaack!

Greetings! I promised I would be back and that exciting things were underway. Well here I am with my latest project, wedding invitations and response cards for dear friends of mine. Since I am not complete with everything yet, I am not going to post the full suite until after they have been sent out. Until then, enjoy the snippet...

Just wanna say...

...I'm on another hiatus (obv). I'll be back soon. Exciting things are underway!

Adieu!

Jewelry Launch {finally}!

You may recall a post about a sneak peek. Well, I'm happy to announce that I have posted a couple of jewelry pieces on my shop. Here are a few images: I hope you enjoy!

Treasury!

I'm excited today because one of my Mother's Day cards was added to the treasury of etsy member Amy Cantini. Yay! Take a look! {click me}

Have a splendid day!

p.s. it was this one

Sneak Peek...

I started a new venture, and I'm going to see where it takes me. Graphic design is my number one love, but hey, I can add new things to the roster! Here is a sneak peek...

More details to come :)

I Heart Moving...

...kind of.

I have been totally out of sync with this move, but I am incredibly happy and so thankful for this blessing! Now I'm just trying to finish unpacking and trying to tie a few loose ends (getting termite protection set up, gas deposit, first mortgage payment, computers set up in the office, etc.). It's coming along well though. I finally have the internet back after a month without it. It's funny how we can't seem to live without the things that we didn't have, say, 20 years ago, these days...but we survived somehow. Maybe we're just getting lazier? Or...maybe we just want to capitalize on all 24 hrs of the day, so we do it by utilizing the things that make life a little easier. Yeah, I'll stick with that one!

I want to share a few pictures of my husband and I after closing, and my family helping us move out of the apartment and into the house. Many great design ideas are to come, and I will be posting them here before, during and after.

I'm still here!

Hopefully you all are doing well and enjoyed the long holiday weekend!

I have been busy working on a few projects. Here's the list:

• Started the website for Milestone Events
• Began teaching myself some new web techniques that I plan to use on the up-update of my website {...don't ask, just know that I'm going to redesign my website again! The saga continues...}. CSS is killer when you're first starting out.
• Website update for Soy Secrets as well as making more product labels and designing the business cards.
• Trying to get a hang of this whole "wife" thing. It's not design related, but it still takes up time!

So forgive me for not posting lately, but I will be back again later this week with some exciting posts!

Until then...

Working^3

As I stated in this post, I have a lot going on! I completed the family reunion flyer and it turned out well (pics later). Currently I am working on the branding for Milestone Events, an event planning company based here in Atlanta. This is the logo that I designed {minus the yellow "blogger image border"}

Business cards will be submitted to the printer tomorrow, and the website will be under construction shortly. All of this, along with finalizing my website and business cards {by next Tuesday according to my monthly goal sheet} is keeping me on my toes and I'm loving every moment!

Getting the ball rolling

Greetings earthlings! I am going to make a vow to start posting on here frequently!

So to start, I began working on concept sketches for my new client. It is a family reunion flyer, and I am very excited about it. *cheer*

Some other design happenings in my life (aka things I will soon be working on or am in the process of working on now):

* Branding for a new fashion designer's line (logo, identity suite, clothing tags)
* R&M Wedding invitations
* Branding for an event planning company (logo, identity suite, website)

Wow, that's a lot! I'm up for the challenge...ALWAYS! I'm so thankful that God continues to give me wonderful ideas and inspiration!

Adieu!
