<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">As I flipped through the pages of <b><a href="http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/"><u>New York Social Diary</u></a></b> - I was totally enchanted with this home. However, I almost nearly passed out when I found out it was <b><a href="http://christinamurphyinteriors.com/"><u>Christina Murphy's</u></a></b> home & GET THIS, she has one of my <b><a href="http://madebygirl.com/shop.php?ncats=1,4,8">LOVE candy prints</a></b> hanging in her home! Too cool. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Christina Murphy is an Interior Designer whose designs (<i>I'm sure</i>) you've seen all over the Design blogs. Her office is based here in NYC - not too far from where I live, lucky me. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">She's such a talented lady & was named one of 'America's Top 100 Designers' By House Beautiful. Of course, she deserves it since she creates original and beautiful spaces for all her clients.  For more on Christina's work, check out here portfolio <b><a href="http://christinamurphyinteriors.com/portfolio.php"><u>here</u></a></b>.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYyjTYGEmAsj2Yp0_ABKMelVgAjLnf2KC3ZtJYHlHG55VOSJ84JdTFprZXlx7IZgGjYx2-gY-pDpcs9i4bce6tVZPiTXaj-mzooAxUbdWxRcGXQ9TyJ7uJ_6f1-AC0CLMIuPjbO3tobw/s1600/IMG_0650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYyjTYGEmAsj2Yp0_ABKMelVgAjLnf2KC3ZtJYHlHG55VOSJ84JdTFprZXlx7IZgGjYx2-gY-pDpcs9i4bce6tVZPiTXaj-mzooAxUbdWxRcGXQ9TyJ7uJ_6f1-AC0CLMIuPjbO3tobw/s1600/IMG_0650.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij9wyj1j22UI6VeqcbdL1nKvA5Mqha-gFib-xQ4O2-iQQSAeobecJFPGbwwl6PGYLG_KO7Mu2GgmtJEJa_5JKaFPoYuGen6_WL-CaUH4vVptnv5hl1zJbwBMb5x_bBqM1RD-RZJtsz68/s1600/IMG_0629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij9wyj1j22UI6VeqcbdL1nKvA5Mqha-gFib-xQ4O2-iQQSAeobecJFPGbwwl6PGYLG_KO7Mu2GgmtJEJa_5JKaFPoYuGen6_WL-CaUH4vVptnv5hl1zJbwBMb5x_bBqM1RD-RZJtsz68/s1600/IMG_0629.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">There it is below!

Another Project: Floating Cabinets...

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been on another CRAZE, trying to figure out what we'll be adding next to our main dining room table. <i>A credenza? A sideboard?</i> WHATEVER you want to call it, we haven't found it! After looking through several sites & realizing we weren't going to find something long enough & affordable - we came to a conclusion........</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">let's freakin' try <a href="http://www.ikea.com/"><b><u>IKEA</u></b></a>. </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">  </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During my hunt, I had come across a shelf in <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/house-tours/house-tour-andreas-greektown-loft-009467"><b><u>this</u></b></a> Greektown loft on Apartment Therapy.
