ROOM SERVICE ATLANTA PART 3

I almost forgot to post the last images I have from Room Service Atlanta.  

#loser.

 As I said before these designers knocked it out of the park and they deserve recognition. 

  

 Come on..... they had rooms with kitchens AND baths.  

Whoa sister.

First up is my girl Erika Ward.  Yeah.....girl has 4 kids and finds time to create this beautiful space. #superwoman

How cute.....you need to go see all of her before and after pictures here

This space was designed by Justin Williams.  I could not find a website for him :(

I love a well layered bed....this space was designed by Helen Harbin Davis  I wish I had more shots of this room.....

Loved the dark walls....and I saw that light fixture at World Market the other day.  

More creativity from designer Kellie Griffin 

 

Wonder where she got those antlers...cool.

Olivia Westbrook designed this whimsical space...Loving the mint green.

Just look at these awesome painted  cabinets.....

Could you die over this headboard?

Eddie Ammonds Brumbaugh did a great job in this room. 

My buddies Joann and Kelly killed their space....

 

One of the things I love is the paint color....the soft gray does a good job of highlighting all the color in the pillows and curtains.

Spunky little dining area.  And yes....I saw these yellow chairs at World Market yesterday for 50% off.  I tried really hard to think of someone who needed them!

Go here to see the before and afters.  

 I loved being surprised when I walked into the rooms to see the colors they selected for their kitchens.

There was gray....

More green.

Navy.

And black with that awesome gold TAPED fridge!

Shut up with that bad boy.

Things to remember when looking at all of this awesomeness....the designers had to raise money....scour flea markets.....and get it done in about a month.

If you missed my other post you can read them here and here.

Enjoy this LAST day of June......HELL....I am not believing tomorrow is July 1st.

Shabooyah!

MY HOUSE

Good Monday morning.....for y'all maybe.  

Me on the other hand....I was up 3 times in the night for a puking dog.  Thanks goodness they do all that retching first so I have time to lead her to the back door.

I pulled out some summer pillows the other day....same as every other blogger/designer.  

But darn....summer just begs for lighter colors.

The Kravet Riad used to be in my bedroom....and lucky me cause now  I have shelves where I can change out the art which I am still tweaking and will perfect right before the fall changeover.

Of course.

These are my fav colors....period....end of story.

Alrighty then....I think I will sign off for the week....unless I am inspired.... cause you guys are going to be playing with family and celebrating the 4th like it's a job.

Shaboom.....enjoy the fireworks!

CURREY AND COMPANY

It's about that time when my inbox gets full from companies letting me know about their new items showing at Atlanta's Mart which opens next week.

Twice a year they open their showrooms for buyers to stock their stores with goodies so we will be tempted to redecorate.  

No urging there right:)

Since I am about to embark on 2 huge renovations for clients I am deep into looking for lighting and everything else!  Between them both I have about 12 bathrooms to put together......Yes you read that right.

Deep breath.....whew!

I was looking at Currey and Co website and saw some great new pieces that I am sure I will be seeing next week.

The Merton Chandelier

The Fairlight Chandelier

The Tidewater Chandelier

The Goldrush Pendant

Love the Midcentury vibe it gives....here is some inspiration.

Sarah Richardson

It could be used in either of these rooms....

House of Honey

Now for some that aren't new but are still favorites.

 The Soothsayer Chandelier

The Chantelaine Chandelier

The Saxon Chandelier....isn't it perfect in this room by James Douglas Interiors.  I love that it doesn't take up too much visual space.... 

The Basket Pendant

Which will add so much texture to a kitchen as you can see below.

 Kay Douglass

Coastal Living

And maybe you don't know that they carry some great mirrors also.

This would be great in a beach house....

 The EOS mirror

And sometimes you need a smaller round mirror.  This one is 21" round which could work nicely in a small bathroom.

The Aline Mirror

I love a round mirror in a bath since vanities have square angles so it adds some softness....

Vanessa Frances

And I am in love with the Faux Bois shape in The Creekside Mirror. 

I could eat this bathroom.....chomp chomp.

Benjamin Dhong

I am sure I will be sharing all the goodies that I see next week!

A little tip....my husband sprayed this in our backyard since it was like being in the jungles of Guam trying to fight off mosquitos.

It really worked!  

I'm off to wake up sleeping beauty for a walk so I can wear her out for the day.  It's the only way.

I just heard on the Today show that modesty is "in" now with bathing suits.  At 63 I'll show them what modesty really is....shorts and a T-shirt.

Just saying.

Summer Sideboard

I've got one more closet to share some pictures of later this week (we haven't wallpapered it yet but we made it a little more functional) but I still have to finish going through those pictures so today I thought I would share what our kitchen sideboard looks like in the summer. We kept the hot cocoa stuff out through late spring but once the very very hot (yuck!) weather arrived we put that stuff away in the pantry and just kept out the different coffee syrups we use and added a few of the disposable cups we found at HomeGoods in some black and white polka dots and stripes that are fun to use for snacking. Then we generally keep fresh cut flowers from the yard on here. Despite the fact that we've planted quite a few hydrangea bushes the last couple of years we've only had a few blooms this year. At least that's better than nothing, though! And seeing how the bushes are growing like crazy we are hoping next year we will have a lot more to cut.
