Changing Room









Whether a 
~ Changing Room ~
is a dressing room in your home or
a fitting room in a boutique ...
there's something sort of intriguing
 about having a space
where we close the door and transform.


Most of you know that
this summer is sort of like a
"Changing Room"
for me, as I'll be moving in just a couple of weeks
to our new historic home.
The property there will afford plenty of
"Change" and "Room"
as the lot is much bigger and has
room for all kinds of play
(badminton, volleyball or croquet, anyone?)
(or maybe you would rather 

lie by the water and feel the breeze? ..)

The house itself has even stepped into its own
kind of "Changing Room,"
with the stripping away
of its old dress (i.e. wallpaper and flooring and more)
and preparation to bring in the pretty.


Even the website and blog
 will  be stepping into a
"Changing Room" this summer ...
with new changes to fit oh-so-perfectly
with my growing illustration career.
And then sometime in the fall,
the website and blog will step out of the
"Changing Room"
dressed in a new ballgown!

Yep, lots of "Changing" going on!

The other reason that I called this post
"Changing Room"
is because I have received several e-mails lately from
fans asking whether or not
the illustration that graces my website
is available as a print and mentioning.
 that they'd like one of their own
to hang in their dressing rooms.
Well, I've heard and the answer is now
YES, for a limited time it is now available!



This illustration entitled
 "Getting Ready" is available as a print.
 Paper Size: 10" x 12"
(the illustration itself is approximately 8" x 10.")
The print is signed and is unframed.
It is shipped flat between two boards for protection.
Price: $20 plus shipping/handling.
If you would like to order this print, just click the
"Add to Cart" button below.

So girly and feminine...
It's a girl must!
My dream closets was fulfilled after building our home, and it's a party every time when my sisters and nieces come in my dressing room.
Again lovely Illustrations

Sandy I love these gorgeous and closet glam images. What girl doesn't dream of a "changing room". For me it would definitely include a chandelier. This post is perfect for you as you are in the middle of so much change. Such great inspiration!

I imagine having a lovely changing room like one of the ones pictured but since I live in a 1BR apt. in NYC, it's but a dream. I'm really thrilled for all your exciting changes and look forward to seeing it unveiled. Have a lovely week Sandy!

Doll,
Your description of your paint colors sounds just breathtaking! I hope you'll share some pics! I did get your message about the wallpaper! uggh I am leaving that whole project to the Director. It's just too much for me being pregnant! (good excuse huh!) I thought so! We've got so much going on at the house I don't know if I'm coming or going! we've got landscapers putting in palms that we picked out last weekend at a palm tree ranch, a new fence going up, new windpws, paint! oh my! It's fun though, 2 more weeks till move in! Then the decorating begins! hope you are hanging in there too! xx -Taj
