One evening last month, I discovered she had a blog, and she posted the most incredible post along with some very kind words, as well as this image board of some of the items we have purchased for her home. It is an amazing experience to work with someone so creative and trusting.  We have been able to incorporate so many beautiful works into this home by designers we admire, such as Casamidy, Egg Collective, Billy Cotton, Zak+Fox and Apparatus! We are looking forward to sharing photographs in the upcoming months as the home is completed!!Thank you Debra! </i><br /><i><br /></i><i><a href="http://le-petit-doodler.blogspot.com/2014/03/fan-girl.html">Read the full post here...</a></i><br /><br /><br />
