HGTV Restored by the Fords

Your design inspiration assignment for the week is to watch this show. A few of us Stager Girls are loving it. 

HAPPY WEEKEND!

I just watched an episode of Restored by the Ford's and loved it! It is a sister and brother team remodeling their way through Pittsburgh. She dreams up creative design ideas and he makes it happen. She reuses and re-purposes pieces from the home or even has floors patched up. Which is a look all on it's own. Her vibe is a "modern yet lived in" look. And white is her favorite "go-to" color.

“We search out Pittsburgh for the coolest homes, the stranger, the weirder, the more unique, the better,” Steve said. “And then Leanne comes in and puts her spin on it, and I go to work.” By: Jessica Galliart for HGTV

Give it a watch and prepare to be inspired.

Reality TV?

"Knock Knock" 

"Who's there?"
"Cable TV"

"Are you kidding me!?"

Sister Ex has been in dialogue with the peeps at Red Arrow Industries over a possible reality show filmed in Seattle. Like we need another thing on our plate. We are already juggling:

• The rat wheel of staging 
• Moving into our new waterfront warehouse
• Our upcoming warehouse sale
• Getting our logo on our "fleet" of vehicles 
• Satisfying a particular "tough customer"
• Worrying about the cops in Medina and a certain someone, who shall remain nameless, getting pulled over for going 33 in a 25.  (You speeder you.)
• Keeping up with our new designer Lendy. (forget it, no one can keep up with her)
• Parallel parking the van as beautifully as our Wise and Steady J

Ugh, it is all too overwhelming. In fact, I quit!
