meant to be your client if they landed on your home page? I know it sounds crazy, but maybe you should be my design client. I know it doesn’t look like it, but I’m tickled pink about this. image via http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganlibrarian/

Who do you want to
work with? I simply need my home to look ten times better than that Lizzie Borden’s home. That decor drove that bitch cray cray.

she didn’t want to work together cuz I don’t do “Golden Girls” rooms anymore. I know, I don’t want to do those types of rooms anymore, Madge. I just feel so rejected. She said my designs are like Delta Burke’s. Like I’m a way better designer than Delta freaking Burke. Puh-lease. And if you aren't their dream designer, let them see that.
