My First House Shift ~ The Guild
Well Hello to February!
It’s already February 3rd! I am trying to plan my month, but things are up in the air since I got ANOTHER summons for jury duty, and I don’t know the status of my car yet. It is at the collision center, and it will be fixed I just don’t know when I will be getting it back. Our rental is nice but it’s a little too big for me. My husband is enjoying it for sure!
This weekend I have a little bit of running around to do. Lauren has her hair appointment and I need to go and get a few things. I am on the hunt now for a hair stylist. I do miss going to the salon at least once a month, so the hunt has begun.
Last weekend I got to do something fun. We have started our house shift duties for this year’s Showhouse. The demolition has started on the Showhouse for the year (my Guild group) and the contractors and designers are showing up! My shift was only 4 hours and during that 4 hours you sign in the contractors and designers as they arrive. We have some light housekeeping to do, and we wrap up the light fixtures as they take them down. The other fun thing is seeing the house before and after the changes. Right now, some of the old decor and accessories are still up. I can’t show pictures of everything, but these two things caught my eye.

So this Venetian mirror is in the downstairs bathroom. I love but I think it is going to be taken down and a new mirror will be going up. Such a beautiful feature!
This wallpaper was a second! I just love all of the different chinoiserie jars on this wallpaper. Now how fun is that? I know that this is not staying which is another reason why I wanted to capture it before they took it down. So lovely!
My next house shift duty is not until the end of this month. If I am allowed, I will share another detail that I like. Have a great weekend everyone!
Don’t forget to shop the boutique! Dresses are still under $30! Valentine’s Day is approaching!
That was exciting for you. To see all the comings and goings on the show house. That mirror was a work of art. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it before. Magnificent. 🤩
I work for an insurance auditing firm and I will tell you nationwide shops are so booked and backlogged it’s mind boggling. It will get fixed but it will more than likely be a longer than normal process. This is industry wide. Vehicle, RV, marine, motorcycle, and property claims. It’s a nightmare right now. Even down to processing checks for the customers are backlogged with insurance companies. Maybe your collision center already set expectations so you were aware but if not, there might be a delay for repairing what typically should be a couple of days Mrs Shockley. Hopefully you’ll get vehicle soon🤗
You are so right about the backlog! I will not get my car back for another week! It’s fine. I told my husband that at least we have insurance and it is getting repaired. Counting our blessings for sure!
