It seems like people are always asking me for places to shop. Hmmmm.....I think my friends know that I am a CONSUMER......I mean I shop for a living. Which can be a good thing and a bad thing...think "one for me and one you for"....said in a real sing songy voice :)
When I am shopping for a client I really want to find that perfect piece...something really WOW that is a show stopper!
I love to take pictures of vignettes. I feel like that is one of the hardest thing for people to do in their in their own homes......create a warm and cozy area with just the right amount of "stuff"..... First of all I love the art and I think the shutters go a long way in adding texture to this.
OK...you had me at blue...love this unusual coffee table.
I love these lamps...and this artist is one of my favorites. Her name is
Stephanie Wheeler I used some of her work in this
bedroom.
More of her work...love the lavender bottles.
I seriously love her use of color......
The art...the lamps...the moss in the concrete planter....what's not to like....
Fun pillows on a very traditional settee.....
This is a different artist. Love how it is layered on top of what looks like wooden doors.
Blue gets me every time....another cool coffee table. I would like this one please. I am so over my coffee table that I have had for 18 years. Yep you read that right.
I may break in there tonight and steal this one. I might lose some weight in jail or on second thought "marge" might make me her girlfriend...yikes.
OK...how great would this be for a headboard? More blue shutters....I can't have enough....
So different than Stephanie's art but beautiful. The colors...well I am doing a room in my head around them right now. What else is new.
Great marble table...and the large lamp. I am a fan of large lighting.....
Back to Stephanie. Shivers......
I think that one great piece of art in a room is important. And I am not saying it has to be original..I am not a snob. But sometimes big is better so the eye can rest.
Crikey...more shutters and art. I'm on a roll. Cool lamps and nice bench.
OK...my look for less....Overstock Becca Chair is $210.00. Great desk chair and Dr chair. I have ordered it and it comes fully assembled. The fabric is nice also.
Here is the Restoration Hardware one:
It is about $350.00. It is an inch taller which is nice but maybe not $150.00 nice.
So.....if you get 4 you save $600.00!!!!! Seriously...that is quite the savings here don't you think????
And here is a little tip. All of my friends know that I make the best salads. Heck...I have been eating them forever....cause I have always watched my weight. Damn genetics. Anyway swear it is the dressing. So I am going to tell you the easiest and best dressing ever. Good Seasons Italian...oh yeah I know what you are thinking.....but wait. Put a half of tsp of sugar in it.....kind of cuts the part that makes you eye twitch a little and then add.......a squirt [very important to use the exact amount] of Boar's Head Pepperhouse Gourmaise. Try it.
Last tip of the week....if you live in Atlanta.
Gail K. Fabrics on Cheshire Road. Just go...you will see. They have more than a million bolts of fabric and more buttons and trim that you can shake a stick at. Yes it is a fabric store for fashion but there is so much there that can be used for home dec. Like I used some great mens suit fabric for curtains.....get the picture.
So you have gotten some eye candy, look for less with a great chair and a secret haunt for designers.....life is good huh?
