What Is In Store For 2010
My 2010 calender is starting to fill up with projects and plans! I'm beyond delighted. I love being involved in design and simply cannot imagine working in any other field, so counting my blessing with the arrival of this new year and the items filling the calendar!
For clients, I have several projects in the works. A bonus/media room design, a bathroom (one of my favorite rooms to work on), a master bedroom and a young girl's bedroom, a lower level of a gorgeous mid century home, and should the clients decide to move forward with the purchase, an urban Town House.
At my own home I have a few projects as well. Yes, there are a few rooms left to work on! The Home Office Redesign has several projects to tackle before it can be pronounced complete. The drapery fabric just arrived...gorgeous. I'll be making the panels and will post instructions on how to cut and sew drapery panels.
Afterwards I have a few projects to choose from. In the running is Max's room, The Master Bedroom, and the Powder Bath. Max has some strong ideas for his room, only to be expected after he saw Isabella and I work on her room! He can't get this cabin out of his mind (from Aunt Tam's store), and lately has talked a lot about wanting a Buddha in his room. Huh? This will be an interesting mix.
While I'm happy with its design, the Master Bedroom needs a couple fixes. It was the first room I put together after moving in, using items brought from our previous home's master bedroom. I like the result, HOWEVER...My son climbed into bed one night with a wad of SILLY PUTTY clenched in his fist. That stuff is lethal!! I woke up to the stuff stuck all over the duvet and sheets, staining them permanently. Then a couple weeks ago I bumped the clock, which tipped over and shattered one of the nightstand lamps. Shoot! And the rug is missing, it was moved into the family room when that space was redesigned, so...the bedroom is ready for a slight tune up.
Finally, there is space I really hope to work on, but I can't really talk about it yet. So, it is the Mystery Room. It will be the highlight of my year if I do indeed get to design this space! I'll obviously keep you posted...
And now...all the holiday decor has been taken down and the chairs moved to their latest homes. I'll show you the result of the chair makeover for Isabella's room tomorrow and the steps taken for it's little makeover.
Happy 2010! Janell

Can I stop what I'm doing with my master bedroom and copy everything you do to yours?! And I can't wait to see what you do to Max's room! A mistery room? Hmm...is it the laundry? I'm going to work on mine (well it's not a room, more like a closet!) when I finish the master.
***Quick question***
What do you think about Kravet's Lutron fabric in espresso? It can be found at Housefabrics.com
Can't wait to see what you do with the other rooms in 2010. Your son sounds hilarious! I can't wait to see what you do with his ideas!
I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve! Your projects are always so beautiful and inspirational.
And thank you so much for the drapes tutorial! I've bought the fabric and lining for mine, so I can't wait to see how your make your panels.
I can't wait for the drapes tutorial! As you know, I need some drapes in my kitchen area, but am afraid I can not make them myself!
I am so happy 2010 is looking good for you! I will be waiting for the Mystery Room reveal!
Nice to see the slate laid out for 2010 - Will definitely stay tuned.
I am very intrigued by the mystery room can't quite tell what room it is and where it is... my interest is piqued!
Last time I was in Aunt Tams that cabin was for sale..maybe you could just bop down there and check it out! My mother in law Judy works there..Say Hi for me! your so fortunate to do what you do..I would love to have a job like yours! Have a great day!
Can't wait to see how all of your projects unfold. Happy New Year, Janell!
Oh yes, looking forward to seeing the chair make-over for Isabella's room, Janell! You are so busy already and it's only January! I'm also looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Max's room.
I had that same planner in my hand a couple days ago at Borders? Do you like? I was very close to buying it, but wanted something that could fit in my purse so I left it behind.
So excited to see what you have in store for 2010. I can't wait to find out what the mystery room is!
I'm excited to see all your projects. I'm going to start following along so I don't miss anything! ~Lisa
Lucky you, to have so many great projects lined up in the area you love to work. I'm looking forward to hearing about the Mystery Room and of course whether the Buddha/cabin combo is a success!
Sounds ambitious and I love it! I love design and seeing transformations...can't wait to see all that you share!! Happy New Year to you!
Hugs and love friend,
~Victoria~
I love your motivation and can't wait to see what you have going on. I know they're all going to be amazing. I love your style.

Hi Janell! I feel like it's been FOREVER since I've been over here. I hope you've been having a great year so far. I'm so glad I "met" you in 2009! I always enjoy coming over to visit, and always leave inspired. Looking forward to all of your redesigns this year (especially the mystery room! :-) )
Well, I am definitely intrigued by your mystery room :)
I also look forward on your window treatment tutorial. I do no sewing whatsoever but sure wish I could.
i love that calendar too!!
