The good:
I had my first real live paid decorating consulation yesterday with my first real live paying client (a sweet friend from church)!
I was a little nervous, because when I am decorating my own house, I have so much time to think about how I want things to be. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to come up with ideas and solutions on the spot for someone else's house. But I DID have ideas, and solutions. It was SO FUN! We worked on her living room first, and made a few small, but impactful changes. Next we worked on her bedroom and COMPLETELY rearranged it in about 20 minutes. It was a transformation. We've still got lots to do in there. I'm having a blast (and I think maybe she is too!).
Thanks, friend, for trusting me with your home! Maybe she'll let me blog about the results!

The Bad:
Okay, maybe it's not THAT bad, but I had to take BeiBei to the groomer today to get a summer cut. I am so sad about having to cut off her adorable shagginess! We tried to resist it, but as June has come into full swing, it's clear that she is just too hot. I asked for a puppy cut (which means just a little shorter all over, but NOT SHAVED). I hope they do what I asked! I anxious/scared to see how my precious pup will look when I pick her up.
Shaved Goldendoodle (NOT the look I want)
*I have also read on sites like this one that it's best not to shave your goldendoodle down to less than a 2" coat, because their skin is very sensitive to sunburn, and their coats help to insulate them from the heat.

I'm crossing my fingers. I'll keep you posted!
