Back to College


All the Stager girls have had to send their kids back to school this week. We celebrate our kids' choices, we struggle with their choices, we listen quietly to their dreams, we marvel at the laundry they produce, the food they consume and the additional bodies in the house. Off they go with their bad ass dreams of what they will become and the adventures they will create





This Middle Sister had to photograph the daughter's saving jar that is New York bound.

Los Angeles-Hotel Surplus Outlet


HOTEL SURPLUS OUTLET

Most definitely not a glamorous shopping experience but a bargain can be glamorous. This Middle Sister scored 4 industrial glam conference chairs from the The Beverly Hills Hotel.












Sister Ex and I are discussing whether I should buy this dresser. It means there will be a design explosion in my Master Bedroom which means the entire room is redesigned. Not certain I could take that on right now.

I think it would make a beautiful entry piece as well. Guess what? I walked away from it. I will still continue to think about its possibilities...

 The ice buckets got us all thinking of Christmas and New Years-we purchased all of them...
What a party it will be!

Fabric Shopping

Our  road trips are filled with inspiration and this one to Whole 9 Yards in Portland is no exception. We have always claimed that throw pillows are a Stager's secret weapon. With our fabric selections and our Sewing Chicks we have the freedom to design away.

Gambling, Golfing and Gabbing


This Stager girl was lucky to be invited to an annual golf tournament. I learned first hand why anyone who is invited says "Yes!". What a blast!
As a visual girl, of course I had to pick out the best looking golf bag. The ever so savvy black and white bag won hands down. There was not an official category for this but I'd like to offer up that idea for next year.
Another category I would suggest is the cutest outfit award but the rain dampened that part. As the rookie in the group I don't think they would buy into any of my ever so superficial award categories. I guess we came for golf...







The after golf gathering was another lesson in watch and learn from the pros. There was an abundance of laughter, drinking and snacking and the award for the winning team. Not for the cutest bag, not for the cutest shoes or hats, just golf. Dang, my new BFF's are serious.



On to dinner for more of the same: laughing, story telling, drinking and food. What fun, I think, for everyone. I am beginning to understand why this is a coveted road trip.
Alas, most everyone left so our last night was a mellow evening at a wonderful Italian restaurant. Perhaps I should have proposed my expanded award program to the smaller group. At any rate, you are looking at the Putt Putt golf champion-yes you are. Lowest score with a pocket of dollar bills to prove it.


I am not getting asked back next year. I just know it... because the word will get out that despite the rainy golf we had an outstanding time. No one will call in sick. Ugh...

Bedford Brown-Portland

In search of inspiration, we were directed here: Bedford Brown. It stirred our creative juices and now we come back to Seattle rested inspired and ready to create beautiful spaces.
