Thanks to An Urban Farmgirl and the power of Pinterest

I wanted to share a quick shout out to Mary of <a href="http://urbanfarmgirlandco.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Urban Farmgirl</a> blog for pinning two of my portfolio images onto her <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/urbanfarmgirlco/" target="_blank">Pinterest page</a>, sharing with her 62,000+ followers! I received hundreds of hits on my <a href="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Portfolio-Duxbury-Casual_Living_Room_1-Interior_Design-Massachusetts.html" target="_blank">portfolio site</a> in the last couple of days. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Portfolio-Duxbury-Casual_Living_Room_1-Interior_Design-Massachusetts_files/shapeimage_5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="388" src="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Portfolio-Duxbury-Casual_Living_Room_1-Interior_Design-Massachusetts_files/shapeimage_5.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Portfolio-Duxbury-Kitchen_Room_1_-Interior_Design-Massachusetts_3_files/LD%20Kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Portfolio-Duxbury-Kitchen_Room_1_-Interior_Design-Massachusetts_3_files/LD%20Kitchen.jpg" width="512" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These are pics of a seaside community garden house I did in Duxbury, Massachusetts a couple of years ago. The clients live in a high end senior community (when they aren't in their Cape Cod beach house or winter home in Mexico) and have an amazing collection of art and antiques. Truly so much fun having worked on this project, turning a large but bland garden unit into a comfortable showplace for their treasures!

Just a pretty, pretty pic and an update

My mother is experiencing some health issues and I've unfortunately had to cancel my Art & Design lecture with artist <a href="http://www.rickfleury.com/" target="_blank">Rick Fleury</a>. All the team - Rick, his manager Sharon, our location host Danielle of <a href="http://www.snowandjones.com/" target="_blank">Snow & Jones</a> and I had worked so hard pulling this together in a relatively short period of time. The slide show looked fabulous and we were excited to be showing Rick's beautiful paintings along with his new print collection, as well as my design ideas. However, we will be rescheduling for early in the New Year, so please stay tuned!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/76/84/0d/76840d6fb8c86a98154fd5b7765d5809.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/76/84/0d/76840d6fb8c86a98154fd5b7765d5809.jpg" /></a></div><br />Meanwhile, just have time for a pretty pic I saw on Pinterest today, courtest of <a href="http://white-living.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">While Living</a>. <br /><br />Hope everyone is having a good week! In addition to being with my Mom, I'm also in the starting phase of a great new beach house design project!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPCWyFnCb9_K96KVOEW21-jjCjfTcyye1vZy3IH36ayJfC6HilVQc4yXUfaUzJ80D7NmKuzJaBqk-12eaEQgnVWXjAe4lMJ9oMhpmjlASthJdnLwo_JktR1OK4AcjDG7Ba1JJGh2M_Tg/s1600/Linda+sig2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPCWyFnCb9_K96KVOEW21-jjCjfTcyye1vZy3IH36ayJfC6HilVQc4yXUfaUzJ80D7NmKuzJaBqk-12eaEQgnVWXjAe4lMJ9oMhpmjlASthJdnLwo_JktR1OK4AcjDG7Ba1JJGh2M_Tg/s1600/Linda+sig2.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Painter Rick Fleury and I will be sharing our thoughts on the important place that art holds in the decorative process and how it brings true life to our homes. We'll be speaking in Norwell on Tuesday, Nov. 5th at 5:30pm and Saturday, Nov. 9th at 10:30am. We've been hard at work putting together our talk and we're going to heave some great giveaways! I'll be giving away two gift certificates for a design consultation, Rick is offering two of his fine art prints and our host Danielle at Snow & Jones will be offering a fabulous Moxie shower head by Kohler. And there will be snacks too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below are different schemes I've created around two of Rick's paintings that will be on display at our talk:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0ZBxhll0xX0/UnMSxf09vKI/AAAAAAAASME/LC_WbA0LP3k/s2048/Photo%252520Oct%25252031%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A22%252520PM.jpg" style="line-height: 1.3em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="539" id="blogsy-1383275816780.5825" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0ZBxhll0xX0/UnMSxf09vKI/AAAAAAAASME/LC_WbA0LP3k/s719/Photo%252520Oct%25252031%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A22%252520PM.jpg" width="719" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Perception" by Rick Fleury with a modern, masculine design scheme. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BT-ZMgzQzNE/UnMSqqRJIFI/AAAAAAAASL8/lxbl5riYiLs/s2048/Photo%252520Oct%25252031%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A23%252520PM.jpg" style="line-height: 1.3em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="544" id="blogsy-1383275816763.8484" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BT-ZMgzQzNE/UnMSqqRJIFI/AAAAAAAASL8/lxbl5riYiLs/s727/Photo%252520Oct%25252031%25252C%2525202013%25252C%25252010%25253A23%252520PM.jpg" width="727" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">"Respite" by Rick Fleury with a beachy, feminine design scheme</div><br />All the important details and registration <a href="http://lindamerrill.com/Linda_Merrill/Art.html" target="_blank" title="">information is here. </a>I hope you can join us!
