THIS AND THAT





Ima be all over the place today.  Just a little insight into my brain....haha

I am at the beginning of a lot of projects which makes me feel like I am untethered because as we all know....there are infinite possibilities.  That makes my brain feel like I am a fish on the end of the dock flip flopping all over the place.

I need that one piece of inspiration to pull in the reigns and get me back on the straight road.


Some friends of mine are developing this land into 4 residences.

The one circled will be their own residence!


Saturday I was over their discussing the trim package....think walls ceiling etc.  We went over the kitchen cabinets [can't wait to see the plan] and fireplace surrounds.

Kind of excited about all of this goodness!

Next up is my friend and "builder extraordinar"  Michael Ladisic!  His new office.  He took a traditional house and added this cool entry on it.

A space about 11 ft by 11 ft with iron windows.


I put together a plan....

Kind of tribal.... modernish.....texturish.

I went to Spotlight On Art [now through Feb 3rd] with a client looking for a large piece of art for her bedroom but struck out.  We managed to find this pretty piece though and I love it!


If you remember a while back I talked about a new development in Fayetteville, Georgia called Pinewood Forest.   I finally took a trip down there to preview and WOW!

It's about 20 minutes south of Atlanta airport and it is going to be a killer neighborhood.  I love love the design of the homes.....

The model had some great details.....

The kitchen had this travertine countertop and it was a refreshing site after marble everywhere...I love the warmer tones...


This iron shelf got me.....


But these black and white cups.  Oh yes.

Anytime I can hang a crusty mirror.


Concrete countertops has me wanting.....

Of course I am a sucker for old wood thingys.

I had an epiphany that this light would look good in my house somewhere!

Leaving Fayetteville and heading to ADAC where I got some good inspiration at the Ainsworth and Noah showroom

This stripe goodness mixed with cream, black and white truly has my name on it.


This mohair sofa.....hubba hubba

LOVE......

Wood parsons dining table and chairs.....always classic.



Nice custom cabinet cover.....


Uh huh....all day!

I'm working on another condo and like I said....I am loving the warm tones of beige now.  

And I have been plowing through 6 seasons of the Netflix show Call the Midwife.  Every time my husband comes in there is a woman screaming in childbirth....ha ha

When I walk Cami everyday I like to listen to something and this Podcast was addicting!

Crimetown

Oh my gosh....did you know that Providence, Rhode Island has a huge organized crime history and a mayor who after serving a couple of terms, went to prison .....then was re-elected again!  

If you don't know this about me....I love anything true crime!


Who is this sweet face:)

OK you made it to Friday!  I think I will clean out all my closets this weekend.

Nah....JK.....that will never happen.

FABRIC AND WALLPAPER





I was at the grocery store the other day....a place which is totally out of my element....think someone who has been in a coma for 30 years and they wake up with the task of having to figure out how to use a cell phone.

I tend to either wander around like a lost puppy or run in and only get half of what I need like the floors are on fire.

This time I was standing near the salad bags staring at all of the selections and getting more confused by the minute [there are so many different kinds of greens now] when this woman pushed me out of the way and threw her bag back on the shelf ...."These are made in Mexico!"  and walked away in disgust ......like she belonged on a table shouting to the masses to take extreme action about something.

Huh?  What...the bags?  The salad?....come back crazy angry lady....what do you mean?

Crikey....one more thing I gotta worry about.  Where does my lettuce come from.  

Grocery Store = Confusion + Anxiety 

Back to design....my safe place.

Having ADAC so close to me is a luxury and I know that.  It makes my job easier.   While searching for  some light gray grasscloth I discovered some new wallpaper and fabric this week.

It's ironic that they both have an ethnic feel....

First up is this new wallpaper book from Kravet


Check out some of these great prints.




I can never resist a good paisley....









Next up is a boutique fabric line.


Seema Krish  [born in Bombay] has lived in the United States for 15 years and  now resides in San Francisco where she creates these beautiful textiles.


Feast....

Some of my favorites










Using traditional textile making techniques....


This gorgeous line can be found at Ainsworth and Noah here in Atlanta.

Off to the trenches....but it's Friday after all!  Next week the Design Bloggers Conference is in town....anyone coming?
