Looking good! Happy birthday!

👍🤗

Hi glories. I’m just dhecking in to say hi Making progress iand somegood days and bad days

Th e weather is starting to be spectacular spring like but lots of rain. Can’t complain cause nothing like California. Take care yall

Hi Seajay! I am glad to see you are making progress! It is very rainy here today on the Gulf coast! I have a contractor remodeling our master bath right now! The soak tub has been converted to a walk-in shower. And the old shower is being framed as a closet! They have been here since Tuesday, and they are almost done today! Yay! The painter we are hiring just called and wants to start next Tuesday! OMG, my head is spinning!😂🤣😂

Hi seajay! So nice to see you! So happy you are making progress. We've had some nice cooler weather for a few weeks and today is the warmest in a while--80* and sunny. Hope you got to see your Rocky some more. 😻😍

The winter in Palm Springs has been less than wonderful this year..too…more rain and cloudy moments than usual..but still enjoy morning walks..and outdoor living in the garden…
watching the weather reports…all over the world…has been a little scary…so no complaints here…

Seajay!!! So happy to see you here!! Recovery always has its ups and downs but you have done spectacularly! Keep sparkling!!

So heartwarming to see you, Seajay! I haven't received notifications for this thread for ages, so this was meant to be today. You are often in my thoughts. Congratulations on your continuing progress! ❤️

SeaJay! Well at least it’s raining and not “raining and then dropping to -10 C” turning everything into a skating rink…which is what’s happening in Nova Scotia. 😵‍💫 glad to hear there are some good days (as well as bad days… ) Progress is like that on pretty much everything, two steps forward one step back but it is progress! 🥰

Dear Ms. Sparkles,

It has come to our attention that you are beloved on Houzz sites. We hope that gives you a big, wide smile and that every day gets a little more rewarding for you! Please note that we miss you when we don't hear from you so please continue to pop in now and then. 📫

Sincerely,

The 'Houzz' gang

Hi Houzzers! Just have great news to pass along. We finally got power restored about 5 pm after 5 days without. It’s been very difficult but we are happy for our pre-planning and preparations prior to Hurricane Beryl. Thanks for the well wishes and emotional support!! More after we restore and recover!

Welcome back Flo! We missed you!!

Flo so good to have you back, you were missed!

Welcome back Flo!

Yaa! 👋🥂👏

Believe me, I am so happy to be back! We are strong and in recovery with cleaning and reorganizing our stuff. A simple thing like unloading the cooler, turns into a need to clean out the refrigerator before reloading the frig! So takes double the time! I am sure grateful for my Houzz friends! Very comforting!!

Just always remember your Houzz friends have got your back. And always in our prayers!🥰

Thanks glschisler! You are so kind.

Welcome back Flo!! 👏🥳❤️ so sorry you had to endure five days - too long!! 😭 I am currently overhearing the movie “Grease” playing outdoors with 10 giggling 16 or nearly 16 year olds for little K’s birthday 🥳 our baby girl is 16!! Can we even believe it?! We did a glow party so as it got dark the fluorescent colors started
Lighting up and they were amazed. Had face paint for them and they went crazy ! Made a cake that had glowing Isomalt pieces on it. I’ll post a pic. Not sure if I have it glowing though. Two graduations, packed Waldo for his trip to Europe, then Apollo joined him for a week, then 16th, sister comes in two days then we travel to Washington to see sister and mom the 24th, then Apollos 50th there! 😅 is this summer over yet???! Aaaackkkkk!!!

Happy Birthday little K. I am sure you and your friends really enjoy your creative Mom! It sounds like so much fun!!

I’ll share with her Flo 😘

Oops, I am on my old thread. 🤷‍♀️

Stunning. Our “little K” is not little anymore! So beautiful!! Cake is spectacular! A wonderful celebration! Great memory making. You sure know how to pull out all the stops! Great work! Sugar work is top notch!

Thanx Flo!! 😁 I did get a few blisters lol

Treat those blisters carefully! Did Miss K enjoy her party and first day as a 16 year old?

Did you notice I changed her name to Miss K? Yeah. She deserves a better moniker.

Maybe we need a “vote” on new name for her. Pick 3 and let us vote!

She did Flo! The girls had a blast and loved the glow! Now her cousin is visiting so the fun continues 🥳😉 ok, a new moniker vote…to be continued 😂

Any report on new moniker? She sure is beautiful and I know she smart! Any design progress?

Good morning Houzz Fam 🥰 Flo, I am still in WA with family. Apollo had to leave for work a week ago 🥲 headed home tomorrow as Ms K has tennis tryouts starting! I posted K’s room measurements on my new dilemma site so we can start brainstorming layout options 🥰

I got this thread to load but can’t get new thread? It disappeared??

Did u DD get that quake?

Yes, Happy! It was pretty strong but still minor

I just got this notification from happylegs post. So maybe this will stay. I am never updating again!! What a mess!

Yaya!

DD - here’s layout with bed head in front of single window on N side. (Ignore names on pieces- it’s just for sizes). You could make desk space anyway you want on the W wall. Just a little tight for chair at desk pushback. I put a pair of bookcases on the E wall with a bench to sit on for shoes etc. I put an armoire on S wall for clothes. The unit to the left of the desk could be a closet of somr sort.

May could have a long desk like your looking at with chair under one end and the other end using it for bedside table with lamp, dual purpose. Book shelf above.

Option number for looks well balanced but feng shui doesn't like the bed on the North option two was nice too

Good thought Alice. Just have to know height of mattress and desk to make sure that works. Happy, good observation on Feng Shui!

Yes smart thinking Flo, that bed could be too tall for a desk to work.

Flo I noticed that as well. The old thread is back and the new one is gone either that or DD updated her avatar? I like the head of the bed on the north wall. It means when you walk in the room the bed doesn’t hit you in the face as being the primary thing. A desk in front of a window is always charming. I don’t understand the comments about the height of the desk and the height of the bed however. I don’t understand why those things have anything to do with each other.

As far as the Feng Shui goes it seems to me it’s a tossup. The bed is facing south. And it’s not facing the open doorway. In a room this small you’re not going to get anything perfect.

Oh the height of the bed vs desk came up Lia when I had the idea of using the desk as desk and a nightstand. Seems like there sure are many pieces to juggle mind wise in this room with the big bed.

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one looking all over for DD’s thread! Crazy!

Me too gls! Ok. Been thinking 🤔. Here’s a new twist on Miss K’s layout. The BIG new idea with Option 5 is to put her desk at foot of the bed! I put small stool or chair there but you could get a desk chair that doubles as a reading/guest chair (far left corner) to provide both options with minimal use of floor space. All the other furniture pieces are merely for basic sizing. It will all depend on budget and what we can find out in the markets! I think you can get a 48” wide x 24-48” desk which would be quite nice for laptop and papers and book or two. Enjoy.

Flo, DD's other thread is back and she's looking for you, lol.

Okay so NOW we have two threads? Will the real DD Deco thread please stand up!😂
