Vintage Vogue Pattern Re-dux

Behind the Scenes Photo Shoot

My apartment has been undergoing a change. In 2017 I had my kitchen done over (See kitchen make-over here https://bit.ly/3jujjPG).  It was quite a big project.  The designer was Keita Turner (https://www.keitaturnerdesign.com/).  This has morphed into an ongoing project and much needed surgery for this apartment.   Although Keita and I both took photos via cell phones and point and shoots, she needed professional photos.  Keita created a block buster team and below is a short clips of the day. Keita also wore for a silk patchwork tunic (see more dresses here https://bit.ly/3cWb8ZZ).
