About Me

You may recall Domino Magazine. They had a decorating contest and because of you, my dear readers, I won!
It was a HUGE honor and flattering and I got my 15 minutes of fame along with 10k!
I won for my bedroom renovation which I had planned for and saved for.....forever.
 My name is Catherine (I am liking "Cat" right now) and I am still a full time lawyer in San Francisco and probably will be as long as I can because I got to pay for Pooh's college (see below).  I became a lawyer because I was a very poor teacher, didn't know what to do next, was dating a lawyer so why not?
I dabble in redoing, designing, painting, fixing, anything creative or I would go nuts.

Lately I have been seriously considering selling everything, buying an RV and visiting every major and minor league ballpark in the country. Plus I would get to "redo " an RV.  I would drink many martinis. I love baseball and kind of fancy myself an older version of Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham.

The Bed and Inspiration


Ah, the bed. The place you dream to be back in the moment your feet hit the floor in the morning. Without question the bed, given its size, is the focal point of a bedroom. You gotta have a headboard. Cause they are just plain fun to make and add excitment, glamour and fun to the place you want to be. You can paint one on the wall, cut out wallpaper, stencil one, hang/starch/staple on fabric or build one by cutting out some ply or MDF. Draw out design, cut with jigsaw, add batting and fabric or paint it. Then trim out with painted trim, ribbon, nail heads or cording. The possibilities are endless and prices start by just buying a sample jar of paint. So just do it! The shape of the headboard above is very unique and unexpected and could easily work for an adult bed. And hey, you can even paint that shape on the wall, it doesn't have to be complicated and perfect. ( If you know the source please let me know)
