A Little Break

Lisa Parks — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 17:00:04 +0000

As you may have noticed, I've taken a bit of a break from blogging. It's been a busy couple of months filled with photo shoots and preparing for an upcoming move to a new home. I also wanted to make sure I had the time to tend to my wonderful interior design clients.

For now, I invite you to have fun with me on Facebook!

Summer Bouquets

I've just posted some new work in my gallery of the photo shoot that I styled for the current issue of Arizona Bride magazine with photographer Dan Vermillion. We shot on location at The Farm at South Mountain, which is one of my favorite places in Phoenix. And we worked with some very talented florists!

Such a nice, simple idea. I love it!

Container Garden Progress

Here's one of the many projects I've been busy with lately. I received my Garden Crate for my birthday last month and planted some herbs and veggies. Everything is doing so well! I've planted bell peppers, chives, basil, Italian parsley and artichokes. It looks like I'll have some peppers appearing soon!

Square Foot Gardening

I've been wanting to plant a small vegetable garden on my back patio, but wanted to do something raised to keep the dog from digging in it and to keep out the roof rats (one of the perks of living in the city and being surrounded by citrus trees). I think I just found the perfect planter from a local company, The Garden Crate. Luckily, my birthday is coming up and I think this makes the perfect gift (are you reading this, husband?). I'm thinking it might be nice to put casters on the bottom so I can wheel it around to different spots on the patio, if need be. Now, what to plant...

New Kitchen

Lisa Parks — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 03:25:00 +0000

This past weekend, we started work on getting a new kitchen in the bungalow. We were planning on tackling the floor to ceiling mirrors that a previous owner thought would look classy. And if one mirror was good, then a dozen or so would be better. Yeah, we have that many. But we suddenly had some water damage in the kitchen and so our decision was made.

We're going with white IKEA Adel cabinets and we already have wood countertops.

House to Home

And yesterday I began painting the walls with Martha Stewart's Bedford Gray. It's the perfect warm gray.

New Orleans

Recently, Joey and I returned from a trip to New Orleans where we braved the cold (soooo cold!) but had an amazing time. We spend most of the time bundled up and walking around looking at the beautiful architecture of the French Quarter and the Garden District (where I fell in love with the shutters and gas lamps). So now I have to talk the HOA into letting me put some shutters on the windows of our condo...

My new project

Lisa Parks — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:18:52 +0000

I acquired this piece over the weekend, thanks to my sister-in-law and some furniture she inherited to sell at her garage sale. It's very heavy, solid cherry and was painted to be shabby chic, but I'm thinking it needs to be glossy with some beautiful new hardware. Now I just have to find time to tackle this little project...
