Hi all! Polly Jewelle here with another edition of Behind the Design. With a little bit of pleading and maybe a few bribes we got the designers here at the LilyPad to agree to show off their design spaces at home. They also agreed to answer a few questions about their design space that will allow us to get to know them better. This month we are going behind the designs of

Messy. That’s what it usually is! :) I have four unruly kids (ages 3-14), a handsome husband, a big hairy dog, and 7 chickens. (Not that the chickens are in the house. I just didn’t want to have them feel left out!) That makes for a LOT of cleaning/running around/fun and even if I’ve just picked up, it’s messy 5 minutes later unless everyone is gone (which hardly ever happens). Since my work space is out in the “public” area of my house, it’s always on display and I can still be a part of everything going on while I get some work done. Can you see? School folders, scriptures (from reading this morning), Legos, and even a shoe reflect my everyday real life. We are certainly not a Better Homes and Garden’s home… ;)
I LOVE the Photoshop actions from My Four Hens Photography. I really feel like they can make anyone feel like a pro.

I’m all for real! I have lots of “real” piles of stuff all over my house! :) Your home looks so nice and cozy, Rachel!

Thanks for allowing us into your studio, Rachel! I love your bins and your gorgeous cabinet that your computer and other designing tools are in. I never know where my things are so you are definitely ahead of me! Your home is beautiful! Thanks for the great interview Jewelle!
