they made us homemade peanut butter cookies. i mean, seriously. c'mon. who does that? 
i loved these people before they made us cookies. they travel all over the world and collect meaningful things and read really good books. we got to redesign a few other rooms for them many years ago and were psyched to come back to make this front room into a place they want to be. they were in africa not too long ago so we chose a few favorite photos to enlarge onto canvas as art for the room... 
they already had and love that big leather chair and ottoman so we got a second chair to create a his and hers reading room. we love those modern lamps, but they really wanted something warmer and cozier. less stark. so we are switching them out for more substantial wood lamps with warm, burlap shades. we totally mean it when we say "if you don't love it, you don't keep it." it almost never happens, so we were kind of psyched to finally get to practice what we preach. the thing with design is, there really is no right or wrong. these lamps work and the new lamps will work. it's how the room feels to YOU that matters. it's what YOU love that matters. if we ever get THAT wrong, just say so, we will totally make it right! 
books made from their photos. this is so fabulous i can hardly stand it. totally going to do this... 
their gorgeous gate leg table. their home sits on top of a hill and drops off very quickly in the back. it feels for all the world like a tree house. tim and i are dreaming about building a tree house village of sorts where couples can come for weekends away to rediscover the beauty of what they already have. and um... have a blast and eat good food. there may be a zip line involved. there is nothing boring about the way tim helps people love better. so when i look out the windows above, i see our dream coming true. it's also a great spot to eat cookies and solve puzzles. hehehe... 
this beautiful elephant is one of their photos too. can you imagine? it was our inspiration for the room... 
we had so much fun on this project. beautiful home, beautiful people, and beautiful weather! our first 80 degree day in SIX MONTHS! felt like heaven on earth. uncle bill was so happy he even posed for a feet shot! i don't think he even rolled his eyes! it was a beautiful day.
