Decorating With My Daughter

I am having so much fun watching my creative daughter decorate her new home.

KC runs circles around me.

She arrived at 6 p.m. on Sunday, sushi reservations were for 6:30 and by 8:00 she was in her new home.

Steve and I took Lulu on her walk and by the time I arrived to help, she was nearly finished with her night's work.

By 10:30 every single box was empty, her bedroom was organized, and excess furniture was stored in the garage.

Monday we shopped at IKEA and Anthropologie.

Yesterday morning, KC hung a gallery wall while she waited for the IKEA delivery man.

She screen printed these pieces at a work "play day" when she started at her former company.

The Firestone poster is one of Steve's paintings and is one of many different pieces KC has of her dad's artwork.

 KC had nothing to put into this frame so she cut a scrap of wrapping paper to fit the frame.

The IKEA Ektorp sofa arrived in boxes and KC insisted on building it herself with no help.

Two nights after arriving in town, this was the look of the little living room.

This view from the bedroom shows the Ektorp sofa with chaise that is the only piece of furniture for sitting in her little house.

This view from the dining room shows a photograph of Pierpont Beach in 1936.

An eclectic grouping of pillows on the white sofa bring color to the white room.

The embroidered San Francisco pillow was a gift from special friends at KC's going away party.

An IKEA 2 X 2 Expedit holds the TV and the eye continues up the wall to a San Francisco painting "borrowed" from Steve's studio.

KC has a fun collection of anchors and other nautical pieces so I brought over the little sailboat doorstop made by my sister in elementary school.

The basket, lamp and green chair are just a few of the items KC has "removed" from our house - there are more in other rooms.

Originally the plan was for turquoise chevron patterned curtains, but white blinds provide privacy and curtains would be overwhelming in the small space.

The little wooden bench is a possible project - to paint or not to paint? - that is the question.

KC starts her new job on Monday so her plan is to finish decorating tomorrow so she has 3 full days to play.

I titled the post Decorating With My Daughter, but I am really just her assistant.

Either way, I am loving the time with her.

Wait 'til you see what she made today.
