design indulgence: vacation

If this isn't out of the norm lately for me...then I don't know what is.....

2 post in a week......but I have to say that it has been very relaxing up here. I even read a book which is unusual because when I am home.....sometimes I feel like I have way too much to do than read a book....my mind races and I get anxious!

I thought I would give you some more pictures of the Southeastern Showhouse while I was thinking about it!

Starting with this pretty foyer by Kristan Moore

The charming space below by Nina Nash Long was probably one of my favorites...The Schumacher wallpaper was amazing and I could see this room being relevant for many years to come!

It had a traditional feel but not in a stuffy way if you know what I mean.

I know this bedroom will strike a cord with many of you "classic blue lovers"....it definitely hit all of the right notes!

This gorgeous Anna French fabric and the rug....was an outstanding choice!

Loved the soft colors of the bathroom....and the floor just about did me in!

Stephanie Jarvis did an amazing job with both rooms.

Another guest room upstairs had a beautiful feel....

She said that she had the vintage chest painted and it was a perfect addition to the space!

Kim Regas was the designer.

Beautiful bedding.

Whitney Durham gave us a layered look right down to the tile in the bathroom....I loved the vintage feel of it!

Gordon and Dunning designed a small seating nook on the upstairs landing....

Really loved this art by Andrea Costa....she is one of my favorites!

Venture Games basement room had a great feminine feel to it which I loved!

Floralis Design was in charge of the outdoor area and the pool which was lovely.....

Murray Khouri put together this charming lower covered deck area.....

And there you have it! Find any resources available here

Today is my last day in Nantucket....how darn fast a week goes when you are on vacation! I am missing Cami though so it's time to return to Atlanta and work.

Here is the book.....it was really good.....easy read and

unexpected ending....the best kind right!

We did some walking on the beach....they have 2 dogs so at least I got some dog love while I was here:)

Yesterday we went for a 13 mile bike ride....it felt like a 100 miles with the headwinds coming back! I think it's a good idea to have the headwinds first right??

So vacation over.....

Thanks for your sweet comments about my sister....Thank God it had not spread. Cancer is such a bitch. Of course both cancer AND heart disease run in my family so it is a crap shoot on what I will die of.

My Dad passed away from a heart attack and both my sister [triple bypass] and my brother [heart attack] have had heart problems.

My Mom died of lung cancer [20 years ago] and now my sister has lung cancer [thank goodness they have made great strides with it] so like I said it's gonna be a coin toss.

I thought I would give you guys a little recap on my Nantucket trip.....

I love this area across from the kitchen....

And I included a picture of this rug on a previous post but dang was pretty excited that this rug we picked out in Atlanta looked so good with the rug above!

It took a while for this handmade table to be delivered but it turned out amazing!

We went to this wonderful store called Nomad....I mean look at all these pillows!

We had a beautiful dinner at this restaurant....

The entrance has a dutch door....so this is the pretty view....

It is also where the casual dining is located....I believe this used to be a screened in porch....

Love the splatter floors!

This beautiful backsplash....which is the same as what I am using for my sister [only neutrals not blue] ....so it will have a lot of variation in it...
