For The Love Of Shopping.............Celadon

I have loved to shop since I was born..I do believe!!!!
I probably would have ask to stop by the first store on the way home from the hospital if it were possible.
In my line of work, shopping is a necessity so I feel lucky to have chosen this this line of work.
Last week I took a client to Charleston South Carolina on a "fabric hunt"! We dropped by one of my favorite store to see  what was new, exciting and different. There is so much to see you could spend a week just taking it all in...................
When we walked through the door, my client (who is a serious world traveler) said "this is the first store I have ever walked into and LOVED ever single thing in it!!"

one stop shopping....................

great kids department  designing children's rooms are so much fun!!!

Emmaline's Birthday Surprise!!!!!

Anna called me to help create a birthday surprise for her niece's 13th birthday. She painted an old sleigh bed the color of her favorite scarf

The guys brought the bed and mattress up stair to what had been an empty off white bedroom...walls and carpet.................

She want to create a fun bedroom ( we had three hours) for Emmaline as a surprise. Of course she had IRONED the beautiful white sheets and pillow cases and the room had the beginnings of  her magic.
Her other inspirations were 2 beach house blue pom pom euro shams, a fun sock monkey with polka dots and stripes and a yellow green fan. I walked in with a green scarf and and an eggplant jacket on and  I was perfect for the room.....color...color ... and more color!!!!!



the soft freshly ironed sheets................



Anna knows I am ALWAYS up for creating fun and happy spaces. (especially for a surprise)  We had such fun making this room for Emmaline. We took off to my storage unit and my office to pull and dig and grab some pieces for the room.

The Isle of Hope table, The Jellyfish Table, and The Luscious Little Table from  my on line store janecoslick.myshopify.com were thrilled to be included. Some of my "I dont know why I love this piece so much" storage unit treasures together with  things we pulled and grabbed and pondered (for 10 seconds or less) filled Anna's car and my truck.

the monkey looks thrilled at his  seat on the new pillows ..............

a vintage piece of string art (a gift from one of Anna's friends) had all of the colors plus some....................

The Luscious Little table in key lime parrot green and some art from the wall of the office...pondering fabric but a wee bit short on time...............

the monkey likes it here too!!!

a funky shot across the bed into the sitting nook

the jelly fish table in beach house blue worked great with the shams

Looks like we succeeded in creating a " Happy Place" for the birthday surprise................................

Even the pup seemed to like the room..............

a visitor feels right at home.....

she also dressed for the space...............

Happy Birthday Emmaline!!!!!!!!!!



A good time was had by all!!!!!!!



Running Out Of Time.............

I locked myself out of my office today and had to crawl through the doggie door (not a very good way to begin the day.) 
The good news.. I can still fit through the doggie door!!!!!!

As a designer, the year end is always crazy busy with paper work and going back through the year to see what I missed and overlooked. My desk is piled high with "stuff"  and my list of  " TO DO" has all the task I move from month to month until this FINAL month when I can't put things off any longer. My clients all know what is coming and they all know how much I hate the task of billing.
For Christmas I am going to ask for a new book keeper and a light for My bike for riding in the dark.
I have learned so much this year ..... the blog , facebook,on line shopping. I love all of it and I would do anything to avoid .."billing".
I am working on a quick project... the client wanted to redo his condo....he wanted a mix of a flat in New York , a boat, and a beach  cottage...................... I jumped right in (anything to avoid the billing and the year end tax stuff) and I am  thrilled with the progress....found very cool things in the boxes of the client and lots of prints, art, and family photos. We put wood on the wall behind the sofa and plan to add a tile back splash to the generic kitchen... Pictures very soon....

My latest project...yum yum !!!!

My latest project is so much fun I just had to share it .It isn't complete but I love how it is coming along. I was hired to design a neighborhood yogurt store (in my old neighborhood Isle of Hope).

The client fell in love with 4 my colors and with the vct flooring that I use in many of my cottages. We did a cottage feeling mixed with the retro ice cream parlor lighting and furniture.We added tin awnings over  turquoise benches and old windows with cottage star fish and crab  shutters . It feels friendly and relaxing and the yogurt is absolutely Yummy!  I will take final photos to share with you once the retro swivel bar sools are on place at the counter.
www.janecoslickcottagecollection.com for colors and shutters.

3 of the 4 from the Cottage Collection colors

will be on the wall

will hang by the old window (looks into the office)
the turquoise benches are under the window with the shutters.

my color PORCH CEILING BLUE which she also dearly loves...... We put inside of the "Hutch" where the  candy for sale will be displayed.

the benches have backs and are attaced to the wall
