The unveiling of something AMAZING!

I must help spread the word about the fabulous "blog-site" for the first event design boutique in Michigan... A Modern Event!! 

My fantastically creative and passionate boss, Jenn, had a "vision" about a year ago to offer more than floral needs to her clients. After an incredibly busy but amazing summer of weddings and expanding her business outside of the studio walls of downtown Grand Rapids in the fall... she was ready to take on a dream :) And boy did she! She contacted three other talented event professionals in the Grand Rapids area and together they make A Modern Event! To hear in THEIR words why they looooove A Modern Event, visit the beautiful site! Take a look around... you will find descriptive bios of each group of professionals (Modern Day Floral, In Any Event, Ben Harrison Photography, and Sweet Cakes Design), images of the studio, and information regarding anything and everything that has to do with planning the perfect event! 

Keep in mind that the opening date is on

 April 23rd from 5:00 - 8:00 at 125 Ottawa Ave. Suite 170 in downtown Grand Rapids!

Apartment update!

Well... it is just about time to move into my new apartment! I can't wait! It is officially "mine" on April 1st, however, I'll be taking my time to move in... I still a lease on my current place and I would like to give the landlord more time to make some renovations :) In the meantime here is the list of what I've done so far:

1. Selected a warm, bold color palette for my accent walls! In the almost all window living room, I will use a shade of green: pine to help bring the outside in... it will go fabulously with the wood floors and the snow white trim! In the bedroom, I will use a shade of orange: pumpkin meets copper to add warmth and "comfort" to my future place of rest :) 

2. My fantastic parents took me to Ikea for a few economical and space saving solutions. As always, they will be fabulously into the random nooks of an old home!! My favorite piece is the alcove/closet solution. I already have a closet... however, there won't be room for my dresser... leaving me clothes with no home. For this, I love Ikea :) I now have storage consisting of 6 cubbies, and four shelves... and even room for a bedroom television! 

3. Outdoor furniture. Yes, that's right... I can finally have outdoor furniture :) I have a fabulous deck on my cozy (tiny) second floor apartment. I can officially have a real grill for summer fun... outdoor plants... and people over to enjoy delicious cocktails on warm nights... and of course, Sunday coffee and newspaper mornings... sigh, I'm in love :)

Stayed tuned for images :) Have a fabulous end of March!!!!!

New Apartment... Coming Soon!

I can't even begin to express how excited I am to have a new place in Grand Rapids! Plaza Towers has treated me kindly, but the cost is to high and the noise is getting a little old :) Especially when the wind in making the building sway... or when Crush nightclub is having the "promotional" nights on Sunday... 

Stay tuned for images in a few weeks... we'll be painting the walls and the landlord is doing a little bit of updating in this cute, cozy apartment :) The best part: a deck for summer festivities! Get ready... it's going to be a good one!!!
