This calls for cupcakes

Don’t you just love a reason to celebrate? I sure do, especially when the celebration involves cupcakes.

Kathryn J. LeMaster Art & Design turned 1 on Thursday, and by George, that’s a darn good reason to celebrate!

Come along with me and my lovely sister, Hannah, and join us for a whimsical picnic in the woods complete with delicious cupcakes and teacups full of milk to celebrate KJL’s birthday!

I am delighted when I think back on what an amazing 1st year this was. I didn’t really know what to expect in the beginning, so I’m truly thankful for all of the amazing opportunities that surprised me and exceeded my expectations. God is so good.

Thanks for sharing this journey with me! I would not have made it this far without the unfailing support of faithful friends, family, readers, clients, and professionals I look up to and learn from. You guys rock my world.

Please lift your cupcakes and let’s “cheers” to another great year ahead!

That’s a wrap!

This was a very special week for me!

Why? Because I had the honor and privilege of working on not one, but TWO incredible shoots. One film and one photo – both chart topping highlights of my year! I’m usually the quintessential anti-morning person, but I was actually chomping at the bit with excitement to wake between 3am and 5:45am five days in a row.

So I’m kicking up my heels this weekend, celebrating a very rewarding 60+ hour week!

The bulk of the week was spent putting my styling skills to work designing and dressing sets for a furniture commercial shoot with 5 Star Productions. Film opportunities don’t come up all the time in the Little Rock area, so I was beyond thrilled to be included in this project and to get the chance to work with such an awesome crew!

As soon as the film shoot wrapped each day, I’d switch gears and spend time preparing for the Friday photo shoot with At Home in Arkansas. This particular shoot was really special to me, as it features one of my very favorite kitchen projects that I’ve been so excited to share with you all! The shoot went amazingly, thanks to my super supportive clients and the pros in charge: Editor in Chief, Chip Jones, and Photographer, Nancy Nolan!

For more behind the scenes photos from both shoots, be sure to check out my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds.

Stay tuned for more info surrounding my kitchen project that will be featured in a spring issue of At Home in Arkansas!

Best of Houzz 2014

I was ecstatic to receive the below email from Houzz earlier this week and couldn’t wait to share it with you all!

I’m truly honored and want to thank each one of my amazing clients who offered up their time to write about their experience with Kathryn J. LeMaster Art & Design last year. It is because of your honest testimonials that I was voted to receive this award! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

If you’d like to read the reviews that contributed to this award, click here!

If you’re not familiar with Houzz, I invite you to check it out today. It’s the number one tool I use to communicate with clients in the beginning of their projects to share inspiration and ideas. Think of it as a social media website for everything house related!

It’s free an easy to create an account, and once you do, you have access to millions of photos to save to “ideabooks” you create for your home projects! It’s a great resource to locate building professionals, ask questions, read helpful articles… I could just go on and on. You can follow me on Houzz, here!

Thanks for being here today and sharing in my excitement. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you next week!

Stay inspired,

-K
