My 500th Post.. Giveaway

I cant believe this is my 500th post on blogger. It is an amazing experience and so I am doing "500th POST Giveaway" of the  Collection of Jane Coslick Colors and a stripe throw pillow that just happen to have 4 of these colors.
Color is good for the soul..and  happy colors are good for the spirit!

I ran across this letter today and decided to post it for this special occasion. I love my clients and I always learn a bit from each of them.

Here is a  letter I wrote  to my first offical client. ( She ran across it several years ago and gave it back to me to read)

I was never a big fan of orange but my client loved it.... and look at me now.. I even love pink and orange together!!!

 The "horse" refers to a iron carousel horse that I wanted to put in the family room that was outside on her deck. At first she thought I was crazy, then she decided maybe it was an interesting thing to add  to the space... it made the room fantanstic!!!

In design, being open to new/different ideas is what makes rooms and homes unique and special. It's not about doing a room around  "what is in"( like grey walls or linen headboards), It's  about doing a  room for the person that is going to be using it everyday and enjoying it every minute.
I guess it is more of that " thinking outside the box" thing.


My give away pillow fabric.....pinks and orange greens and a touch  of blue and turquoise

An example of the fabric used on a standard sham on a twin bed..with a cottage collection  shutter head board and a different fish cut out painted Tybee Tan.( we named it that way..Every had a spray tan or used self tanning and you turn out orange?) Trust me... that is something you  would  hate!!!!

 The Giveaway...............pillow cover with zipper and collection of  Colors  ENJOY!!!
