Beach Day

Someone forgot to turn off "April Showers" because here we are in June and it wont stop raining! We couldn't take it anymore so we thought we'd try the "mind over matter" approach and went to the beach this weekend. Our efforts were recognized by mother nature and it didn't rain but it was still cold :( A walk on the beach is therapeutic no matter the weather so I wont complain.

Niagara Falls

Tyler is working in Rochester for a couple weeks so this weekend I went to visit him. We spent one day at Niagara Falls. Neither of us have been there and we both loved it!! The falls are absolutely amazing. It really is one of the wonders of the world. It was so much fun spending the day together enjoying God's beautiful creations and enjoying one another.

Dream Apartment, Dream Job

Last week I oversaw the taping of HGTV's Top 10. Our work has been featured in 4 different episodes which is so fun. It was cool to actually be there during the taping. I hadn't seen this project in person so it was fun to explore and snap pictures. I would love to have this place!

Foyer

Notice the small discrete door pulls on the left. All of the doors in this place are "hidden" like this . It was a nice contemporary touch.

Living Area

This was such an amazing space with the corner windows. I love the eclecticism of this project. That is what we are known for, like that super traditional gilded chair upholstered in hot pink velvet ... love it!

Dining Area

Color, color, color! I love the chairs in that blue cowhide. The accessories in this place were great too.

Master Bedroom
I am such a windows person so this bedroom would be just perfect for me.

Look for Jamie Drake on HGTV's top 10!!

We feel like teenagers!

This weekend Tyler & I went on an LDS Singles cruise around Manhattan. Yes, I said singles. We went with a bunch of friends (half of which were single) and it sounded way fun so we joined them. We didn't feel weird until we saw some singles from our ward and we were kind of embarrassed but it was so fun anyway. There was a big dance party and the views were amazing!!

We all wanted to go to dinner afterwards but we were a party of 9 so we were trying to figure out how many cabs we'd need and then we decided to stick together and take a limo! It was so fun and so cheap since there were a lot of us. We went to dinner at Carmine's in Times Square which was way good! We ended up getting home at 2:00 am (extremely later than usual) It was such a fun night. I love NYC dates!

I have learned something about myself...

Our good friends are moving soon and they threw a BBQ so we could all get together before they leave. Great weather, great food, great company! It was such a good time. I came home and was excited to post about how much fun we had. And then I realized that for some reason almost all of the pictures I took were with kids. I swear i'm not that baby hungry and I do have grown up friends. But I do love my nursery calling and the cute kids that i've been able to get to know.

(We tried to go to a Mets game later that night...
6 people+Memorial Day=no tickets. Bummer)

Date Night in Times Square

My friend since 4th grade, Chelsea and her husband Nick are vacationing in the city this week so we got together on Saturday night. It was so fun to visit with them! I feel guilty saying that this was the first time we all got together since they were married 2 years ago. So it was way fun for our spouses to get to know each other.

I love date nights!

Love the Design Events!

I'm so excited that my friends are here interning for the summer! We have had fun at all of these design events.

SPRING!!!

WE DID IT!!!

Tyler and I graduated from Utah State this weekend. It was such an amazing weekend. We are so excited for some free time!

It was so fun to graduate together. I am so proud of my honey! He worked so hard and it was so rewarding to celebrate this accomplishment together.

The weekend wouldn't have been the same without the support of our friends and family! It was so fun to spend time with our loved ones.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

My First Project!

This is my first project that was all mine, from start to finish. I am so excited that it is done. I mean, there are a lot of things I would still like to do (walls!! artwork, accessories, etc.) but this is as far as the clients wanted to go at this point (thanks economy!) This is a very different Drake look but its what the clients asked for. Love my job!!
