foyers, fantasies and new friends

So today was the day I was going to tackle my mom's foyer.  I want to take it from this...


To something more like this...








Or maybe this...

But as I sit here writing this post, I'm feeling more than a bit queasy and I'm wondering if I don't have some sort of stomach bug.  So, sadly, I think the re-design fantasies will have to wait for another day.  I need to curl up in a ball somewhere.

In the meanwhile, I'm over at my new friends' Lindsay and Lindsay's blog, otherwise known as Sadie + Stella, sharing my favorite room!  Check it out here.






I also just wanted to take a moment to thank every blogger who has featured my apartment.  If you have featured me and your not listed below, please let me know!  You guys really toot my horn.  xo.  


ps- yes, this list required me googling my name.  No, I'm not embarrassed to admit that.  Well, maybe a little.

Oh, Naomi, I hope you feel better soon. Can't wait to see you work your magic on your mom's entry! Now, I feel like a loser that I haven't featured your home on my blog. Must get on that train.

Take care & feel better!

Um, googling your name? You mean you don't have a google alert set up that automatically lets you know when someone posts something about you anywhere on the net?

What? Just me?

Ok. Maybe I'm the crazy one.

Hope you feel better. Love your inspiration ideas.

Everyone I know has been sick lately. My entire team except for me has been out sick at some point in the last two weeks. Fell better soon!

Congrats on all the features, thats incredible! I've never googled my name, kinda weirds me out for some reason.

Stephanie, I tried setting up the google alerts and it doesn't seem to be working. I must be technologically challenged.

Sarah- Thanks for posting! Tumblr is a whole world I know nothing about...

Twitter too- not on there, but thanks to those who shared that way.

Stephanie Y. said...

I have to say it's hit or miss. I write regularly for a website with my byline and I'd say about 30% never come up with the google alert. It's definitely not fool-proof.

Ashley said...

Welcome to the sick girl's club. Here I thought I was the only member. And I was going to tell you that I saw your apt. on Refinery 29! Yippee!

Naomi, I have not had my whole head in the blogging game lately, and somehow missed your home on design sponge. But OH MY WORD...I'm just thrilled for you. It's drop dead spectacular. Congratulations!
