Something bright on this gloomy day

So fun, now I really want to have a dinner party, How cute are these for the table.

More Flowers {Cake}

CAKE!!! Oh my goodness my cake was out of this world good. My friend Crystal Bradley of Roanoke Rapids, NC made this four layer champagne and white striped cake. Inside were layers of almond pound cake with raspberry filling and vanilla cake with orange cream filling all covered in fondant.

The flowers of course made by me. I couldn't help myself I wanted these flowers everywhere! I must say they worked beautifully. 

Thank you Crystal !

Glenwood Diner

 With all the excitement of graduating college and getting married I completely forgot to post my final project. Our last project was to design a mixed-use space for a neighborhood close to the University. With my love of diners I knew exactly what I wanted to do and what better way to bring a community together than with good food and friendly faces. 

 The space I had to work with was from a previous building I designed in a group project. I had to work  what was there so I took advantage of the view of the neighborhood park and the tall ceilings.

  Ceilings were over 20 feet high in this space so I used horizontal beams to bring the eye down and out  onto the diners outdoor space. This also allows for a cozier space for people to come together.

 I used familiar aspects of a diner such as stainless steel counter space for sitting, an open kitchen and bakery items on display.

I really enjoyed working on this last project. I can't believe it's over and school is out for good. It seems like just yesterday I was starting into the Interior Architecture program at UNCG not knowing what I was in for. Four years of sleepless nights, constant eating, screaming at times, and I'm pretty sure I lost some hair. Totally worth it! 

Last Day at Anthro

Today was my last day interning with Anrthopologie. After two semesters of of being with the Greensboro store it's sad to leave but what i got from my experience at Anthro I'll take with me forever. 

Anyone interested in a hands on internship where the creativity never stops and the pace never slows down i suggest this internship to. This internship is not for the one who doesn't want to get there hands dirty. Spilled paint, died hands, splinters, and sunburns are required! : ) I had a blast and coming away from this i feel like my creativity these days is overflowing and i enjoyed being inspired everyday i worked at Anthro. Thanks to the Greensboro Anthropologie store for having me not once but twice and for all the good times! Love, your favorite intern : ) 

Finished Window for Earth Day

GREAT MAY BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT 

After a few last tweaks, a barnacle here and barnacle there, the new window for the Greensboro Anthropologie store is now complete! 

This beautiful window was inspired by the coral reef for Earth Day! 

Barnacles at the door

 After completion of the window we have added a moment outside the store in the entrance way. This was a nice way to compliment the apparel on display. The contrast between the green wall and the barnacles is really nice.

Save The Date

With 43 days left on the count down until the big day I think it's about time to start updating my blog with all the  projects I have been able to get my hands into. From invites to showers to flowers you name it I have worked on it. This has been an experience I will surly never forget. How I have managed to hold down an internship, go to school full-time, keep up with the E shop, and plan a wedding is beyond me and lets not even begin to discuss all the extras life has thrown my way. 

So today I give you our save the dates! 

These were so easy, we just picked an engagement photo, added a little text in illustrator, save and printed at the drugstore for super cheap.

Earth Day Window Install

This week at Anthro we are installing the newest window display. After cutting 100's of  recycled egg crates, bending and twisting them into new shapes we glued all the individual pieces together into sections. Each section was painted and now were heading out onto the floor for installation. Today we spent in the window connecting each section with wire and molding the window into a beautiful sea of purple barnacles.

Finished photos to come!

Bracelet Fixture Competition

 This week Paige was involved in a competition between Anthro stores for designing a bracelet fixture from found items in her art room. I must say that our solution came out pretty awesome and the Greensboro store took 2nd place. So big congrats Paige! As you can see there is always so much going on for the design coordinators at Anthropologie retail stores!
