The countdown begins!

And by countdown I am not necessarily saying that I have an exact date... BUT if I don't start counting now, I just might explode! So we will count today as #1 and we will just keep counting until I open the doors of Holiday Hair Studio in that perfect spot!

As I grow nearer and nearer to the completion of the trailer I find it harder and harder to breath... It's like I have caught a wish inside my mouth and I don't want it to escape with my breath. I can't believe it is happening--I should believe it--we have spent 5 months solid working on the darn gal! But it is getting so close!... I can picture it all! Every detail of it, as if it were right here right now! I can't wait to spend Portland's watery winters hulled up, with a pare of scissors, inside my magic little cart... Bringing brightness and beauty into the grayness of my clients long winter days. Laughing and chatting and making them so pretty!

So then, we count and breath and we arrive at magic...

night shift

Still just plugging away at the dream... It seema as though it may actually take forever... But I am optumistic that we will have it done by the end of september!

Cabinets!!!

Yay! Yay! yay! And Hooray! My cabbies are finally being put into place. I would show you some living in their actual home but they are just too pretty to show before the grand finally. But I will let you peep them at my Honey's shop. He has done an amazing job... Because that is just what he does. He is an idiot at this stuff, and by idiot I am mean genius... As in savaunt and really what I am trying to say is that he is really really good, people. Really good. I love love love them!!! I can't wait to fill them with products and supplies... And MONEY!!! Well actually not money I keep that in my bra... What did you expect? I work run a trailer (wink).

P-dillows

Just whipping up some p-dillows over here... For those of you who don't speak hip-hop, allow me to translate for you, Pillows my friends. We got pillows on the make.

my pettet sink

This will be the hands washing sink aboard our little beauty parlor. It is sooo super sweet! I love it to tiny little pieces!!! I have actually had this sink for about three years now. I got it for $5 at a yard sale. I had no idea what I was ever going to do with it but it was $5... And amazing!!! And now it is quite clear why I got this darling little thing in the first place... It was meant to be in my little tiny hair studio!

Please notice that it is resting on a tiny childs chair, thats how small it is and the ratius of the pot inside the sink is 4"... The sink in pettet I tell you!

Gunnin' it!

Staple gunning it that is! Wow!? am I really that dorky? I type down the punn, I read the punn and I make fun of the punn but never do I remove it??? I guess I (not so) secretly love being an obvious DORK. Now back to the job at hand. Re-upholstering that chair, that boring black chair will now be a viberant magical mossy green! hooray for making things just so.

The Chair

Here is a picture of the brand new chair that I will now re-upholster... Yes because I am quite particular you see. I know it seems silly but there just were not very many options for chairs that suited my fancy and so, as per usual, I took matters into my own hands, I found a really rad fab that I loved in both color and texture as well as durability and now I will make THAT my chair.
