KC moved to town last Sunday to a duplex filled with boxes and her limited furniture.
Like a tornado whipping through town, KC took that empty space and turned it into her own special haven.

Yesterday afternoon when I dropped by to take photos, she was relaxing on her sofa in a space decorated perfectly for her and the lifestyle she lives.
Her bedroom was finished on Monday morning except for the headboard that she redid Wednesday afternoon.
2 yards of blue suede, 134 nails and 1 blister were all it took to obtain a stylish and sophisticated look.
Nautical accents show KC's love of the ocean.
KC rented her place sight unseen and was pleasantly surprised that the bedroom was larger than she expected.
The kitchen came with only a stove so she shopped around for an apartment size refrigerator.
Favorite quotes, save the dates and pictures add color to the white room.
I gave her the K mug from Anthropologie several years ago so all she needed were the F and S to display knives, forks and spoons.
A butcher block cart from IKEA adds both a work surface and extra storage.
After I took the photos, she stole a large green metal basket from my hallway to replace the small wicker basket on the shelf.
The painting is a still life Steve did in an art class years ago.
KC had no dining room at her San Francisco apartment so she needed a table.
With limited space in the dining room, she opted for an outdoor bistro style table and chairs from IKEA.
She "stole" the yellow bench from our bedroom to hold books and provide extra seating when she has company.
The "&" pillow is from Crate and Barrel.
The turquoise bar cart was a birthday present last May that I bought KC on my annual Mother's Day San Francisco visit.
I bought the CHEERS sign on the same visit and the painting of Fort Point is one Steve did for KC several years ago.
I can't believe what KC accomplished in 5 days - check here to see the living room.
I transplanted flowers from my garden to her yard today, but I am not nearly as productive.
It will take me far more than 5 days to create a garden worth photographing.
And, I have to fill holes in my house created by all of KC's thievery.
