I got a few comments about my "trash talking" on the last post so I thought I would discuss it.
I looked up the definition and these were some of the descriptions....
"a form of boasting"
"often used to intimidate"
"often used for humor"
Let me say this right from the get go.....it is never my intention to offend anyone with my words....now my decorating..... maybe :)
Sometimes my mood is more spirited or funky than on other occasions. That is my personality and what makes us individuals.
We are all different.
You might be shocked to know that I often let it rip with some trash talk "in real life". My Mom is cringing somewhere :)
I want you guys to know me on this blog...when I am sad, frustrated or feeling "spunky" so I have to be authentic. I did change the wording after reading a few comments....but I am thinking I should have just left it.....cause those were my feelings at the time.
Hard to know.....but compared to all of the problems in the world it's pretty insignificant.
So occasionally my "trash talking" side will appear....and my advice would to be just strap it on....cause I am keeping it real around here.
In other news....here is some pretty design porn for you.
Robert Brown Interior Design is based in Atlanta. His sophisticated clean lines and classic proportions have graced many pages in House Beautiful, Veranda, Tradition Home and Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.
Since Robert is opening a retail store here in Atlanta next month I thought I would post some of my favorite images.

Can I tell you how much I love a round mirror over a mantel? Period.
His style is very edited and layered....and I was about to say masculine but this room has a decidedly feminine feel.
I put together a board similar to the bedroom above...
