Those "Keep Calm and...." signs are everywhere for everything, aren't they? I opened up an email this morning from <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/">Farrow & Ball</a>, and along with this little Keep Calm sign, was an article featuring The Best of British Colour Schemes. I love Farrow & Ball paint, and these schemes are fabulous - you should check them out <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/best-of-british-designers/content/fcp-content">here</a>. I'm actually in the middle of a project with <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/best-of-british-peter-kempe/content/fcp-content">this </a>scheme, which I'm in love with - so energetic!<br />

I picked up several grain sacks and linens, from France and Germany, that I plan to incorporate into a few projects. Let me know if you're interested in anything that I purchased. There are so many ways that you can utilize these vintage pieces into your decor - chair upholstery, pillows, benches, headboards, table runners.....

I spent most of last week visiting tons of furniture showrooms for the newest pieces and upcoming design trends at the <a href="http://www.highpointmarket.org/">High Point Furniture Market</a>. For the next few blog posts, I'd like to share some of what I found. </div>
Today I pose the same question that mom is contemplating -<br />
<i>Bizarre </i>or <i>Super Cool</i> outdoor furniture? <br />

I took the plunge several months ago - it's such a useful tool to earmark ideas that I find on the web. And since I'm a visual person, those nice thumbnail boards are right down my alley for sorting thoughts & ideas. I came across this quote <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/206954545346699527/">recently</a>, and had to repin:<br />

It's really true. I've been designing for about a decade now. When I started out, I was always so stressed - What's the architect going to think? What does the contractor think? The painter is probably going to kill me. The electrical must talk about me. I wonder what other designers think about my projects? What does the client's neighbor think?<br />
It's a shame that we put so much pressure on ourselves about what others think. Finally, I'm at a point that I know I've been given the appropriate talents, and have the education and knowledge to make good decisions. I provide my clients with good design choices. Period. Who cares if the electrician doesn't care for the cabinetry design or the carpenter doesn't like the paint color. I don't.

So appreciative of the work they've provided for me this year, the understanding they have when my schedule gets crazy, and the kind words & praise they always have for me."</span><br />
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">2011 has been full of great clients and great projects. As it quickly coming to a close, I've been reviewing project files, catching up on paperwork, and getting my ducks in a row for the new year. From among the many wonderful projects, I thought it'd be fun to share a project story board from each month in 2011 (remember I was on bedrest and birthed a child this year, so we're missing a couple months here!). Happy New Year and Enjoy! </span><br />

That's terrible of me. I guess I didn't realize it had been that long, since I do try to consistently post to the Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shelly-Windham-Interior-Design-Inc#%21/pages/Shelly-Windham-Interior-Design-Inc/193215431493">page</a>. If you're not a fan of the Shelly Windham Interior Design page, I encourage you to check it out and become a fan/follower.<br />
<br />
I really can't begin to catch you up on 3 months in one little blog post. This fall has provided the office with lots of design projects, to which I am very thankful. I'm in the midst of several renovations, two new kitchens, and a handful of other very interesting projects. In the weeks to come, I'll try better at posting about these projects.<br />
<br />

Oh my goodness, I was nervous. The thought of speaking to two huge classrooms of 5th graders really was scary, but I think it turned out to be a great experience. I spoke to the children about my profession and education - explaning to them how much math is involved {and how they should be soaking in all they're being taught} in the design & construction professions. Then we did an activity together, which they really seemed to enjoy. I told them that space planning really involves gathering the facts {related codes, needs of the client, etc.}, so I gave the "facts" about two different spaces and they space planned using small furniture cut-outs. <br />
<br />
Also this month, I attended the fall Renninger's Antique Extravaganza in Mt. Dora. It was a great day, <a href="http://swinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2011/01/finds-at-renningers.html">as always</a>. We found lots of inspiration and walked away with some great finds!<br />

I always enjoy my "days-out" - I feel productive, informed, inspired, and energized about each of my projects. I visited one of my favorite tile showrooms, and thought I'd share some camera phone pictures from the visit.<br />

My 4th of July will be spent with lots of family and friends, eating watermelon, wearing red, white, & blue, and watching some spectacular fireworks. I hope you find time to relax, enjoy, and reflect on all the freedoms we have here in the USA.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if you all noticed my facebook post on Wednesday evening. I had just caught a news feature about "Made in America" manufacturing. Apparently it's making a "comeback" - from Mars candy bars to ATM machines. All I have to say is, it's about time! I'm proud to be an American {no, I'm not breaking out in song}, proud to live in this free land, and proud to buy quality products built in this country by American hands. Did you know that about 90% of the products I sell my clients are made right here on US soil? I encourage you to explore buying "Made in America" when you're shopping for your home. On the right side of this blog is a list of many of my vendors, many of them in the U.S. - I encourage you to explore, and ask me questions.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you some great patriotic decor images - let me know if you're interested in any of the products. <br />

<br />
For my husband's birthday, I made him a yummy <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/key-lime-cake-iii/detail.aspx">Key Lime Cake</a>. Now, I'm not sure who will be making my birthday cake this week, but I bet they'd love to have <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=073106&parentid=BAYNOTE">these cool measuring cups</a> to get the job done! I've been eying these cool cups for a while now. And since they're super artsy, I'm sure my grandma would approve!<br />

What's better than having a birthday gift artfully wrapped with beautiful paper? Perfect for a summer birthday, today's giveaway prize is a roll of Lilly Pulitzer wrapping paper. You could also use this great paper to line drawers or cover books.<br />
<br />
Now, pay attention to how to win today's gift:<br />
You must "tag" <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shelly-Windham-Interior-Design-Inc/193215431493?ref=ts">Shelly Windham Interior Design</a> in your Facebook status today.<br />
<br />
For example, your status could read,<i> "I really want to win the giveaway from Shelly Windham Interior Design."</i> or<i> "I love reading posts from Shelly Windham Interior Design."</i> or<i> "Everyone should be a fan of Shelly Windham Interior Design."</i> Well, you get the point.<br />
<br />
Obviously, you need to be a Facebook fan, which I hope you are already! And you must actually "tag", which is done by typing the @ symbol, and well, hopefully you know the rest. Good luck everyone! A random winner will be selected after midnight tonight 6/15 and the winner's name will be announced tomorrow morning. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"> {Giveaway is available for our readers/fans in the U.S. and Canada only.}</span>Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03245480671233188944noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116319969054756458.post-44710624263412665562011-06-13T14:48:00.000-04:002011-06-13T14:48:09.054-04:00Birthday Giveaway #2Happy Monday everyone, and Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law, Lynn. To celebrate, let's have another giveaway! If you want to know more about my generosity this month, you can catch up by reading <a href="http://swinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2011/06/lets-celebrate.html">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
First, I'm sure you'd like to know what I'm giving away for birthday giveaway #2.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHq3SF9EF7cNVm7GhJsFxLZv_raWGsDbdGxcyvx1wldBKTi8eE6gMxwEeuVUnaR7GRmdEDNei1YYOCPcJvG7AkyXYHoY615W7A35Bq7PXGBojgrddsAyM0a2R9_tzH-QQBarlTwJk8F0w/s1600/damask-tape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHq3SF9EF7cNVm7GhJsFxLZv_raWGsDbdGxcyvx1wldBKTi8eE6gMxwEeuVUnaR7GRmdEDNei1YYOCPcJvG7AkyXYHoY615W7A35Bq7PXGBojgrddsAyM0a2R9_tzH-QQBarlTwJk8F0w/s400/damask-tape.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
How about some beautiful packing tape? There are so many interesting tapes available these days. For Christmas, my friend made a pin for me out of leopard print duct tape - it's so cool! My parents recently picked up some Auburn packing tape for me - I'll be using it for Christmas packages next year. I just recently grabbed a few rolls of damask packing tape at Michael's. It's the same green as my logo, and we use it when we send packages out to clients. It'd be nice to receive a birthday gift all taped up in beautiful green damask tape, don't you think? So one of you will be getting a roll from me.<br />
<br />
Second, now you want to know how to win it?<br />
<br />
Just make a comment below this blog post. That's all. Good luck!<br />
<br />
I'll announce a random winner tomorrow morning at 8am, you have until then to post a comment. Remember this giveaway is for our readers in the U.S. and Canada only.Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03245480671233188944noreply@blogger.com6
