Nice. Can I have the name of your contractor?

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

No problem. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I like your comet? meteor?... I do not know what that is! But I like your lighting fixture and ceiling decor!

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

Merci! It's by Hanley; I'm very pleased with the juxtaposition of the modern lighting fixture with the ornate ceiling medallion.

[x-trance.livejournal.com]

It looks very light and spacious. I am curious what you plan on doing with the fire place?

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I purchased a dozen or so white pillar candles in varying heights. It's a cliche, but they do look so nice.

That is georgous. What sort of furniture styling were you thinking about? That floor is screaming for a warm rug to delineate the space.

I have a bed on order from Vielle and Francis, a metal canopy bed, vaguely 30's in feel, and I found a great burled wood nightstand in one of the shops in Alphabet City. The bed is pretty big, especially for the little rooms here, so it's mostly just going to be it and art, connecting to the second bedroom turned walk-in closet.

I ordered a a faux zebra rug for the space, but I'm starting to think it might be too much. I'll test it in the photos this week. Maybe something more traditional...

Not sure that zebra would work, you need something plush to soften the lines and surfaces you currently have.

Something similar to this rug.

Yeah, I already returned it for a plush white on off white patterned one. We'll see.

Mind if I come over and be a complete nosey parker while you're installing? I may be completely secretly addicted to 'Grand Designs'

As long as you don't mind if I suddenly go intense NO TALK, GENIUS HAPPEN, sure.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Exquisite!

(And never mind the contractor, I think the gold star in this case goes to you for the design. Do you have consultant rates?)

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

Merci!

(You're too sweet. For you, I'm more than happy to be paid in sparkling wine and a mention on Meridian's Twitter.)

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Twitter? Oh wait yes I do know what Twitter is! I will make sure that happens!

Or, better idea, you should come work for Meridian and take over the Twitter yourself. My ward, Tandy Bowen (daughter of the late, great Melissa Carlyle of MC Designs which- though this isn't public knowledge yet- will soon be a part of Meridian Enterprises,) is in charge of our media department but she mentioned to me last week that she was looking to hire a second-in-command so she can be more involved in directing some of the shoots and things of that nature...

Things are pretty quiet atm at XF, but they're pretty steadily picking up - I already have two info gathering trips this week - and there's no way I'm going to have the time to co-manage a social media campaign with my own brand plus them.

I'd be more than happy to come in as an independent consult, though. I had to do a lot of my social media hands off last year and would be more than happy to show Tandy how to set it up so she'd have more time to do other things. (Tweet Rocket and ITTT were a godsend.)

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Consultant would be wonderful. Especially because I haven't the slightest idea what Tweet Rocket and ITTT are. So yes, clearly you and Tandy should get together and talk about computery things that completely escape my sphere of knowledge.

I've been all over, living out of suitcases for almost a week. You have no idea how inviting that room looks right now.

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

Poor babe. We need to teach your company Skype.

The canopy on the new bed is going to make a fucking awesome fort. Platonic snuggle sleepover when you get back?

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

First quarter site visits. It's good for them to to know the boss isn't this shadowy figure.

Yes please. I'm an amazing snuggler.
