Urban Grace Interiors {the blog} bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Erika and this is my blog.  You might have come here from my old blog- if so please update your feed or bookmark the new site... I promise it'll be much better than the old blog.  If you are new around here welcome!  I'm so glad you are here.  A little background on me: I am a new mom to a precious little girl, a designer, a wife, and the mother of two rescued dogs (Penelope & Paisley).  I am passionate about design, and I also enjoy gardening, good pens, art, photography, antiques, traveling, and rescued animals. 

If you are curious about my design business, Urban Grace Interiors, you can click that link above titled "Portfolio" that will take you to official website.  This blog is just my daily ramblings... some of which are design related, and some of which are not.  I hope you like what you find here... I aim to inspire.

 

 

let them eat cake

Monday, July 26, 2010 Posted in my team

Today we have reason to celebrate!  We are celebrating the wonderfulness that is Joan, Paula, and Allison… my fantastic team here at Urban Grace Interiors!  Joan has been with me for five years, Paula for three, and Allison for one… so today we eat cake!  I am so very grateful for each of them, they are three of the most dynamic, fun-loving, hard-working, and devoted people I know.  So today at lunch you can think of us we’ll be enjoying a festive meal, sipping mimosas, and eating dessert!!

August 2, 2010 - 3:57 pm Amanda - I'm a blog stalker (in the least creepy way possible) and I love your posts. I saw these knobs and thought they would be perfect and SO cute for an interior designer! I don't know any designers in real life, so I thought I would pass the link along to you:http://tinyurl.com/26pbuck
