ATLANTA HOMES AND LIFESTYLES SOUTHEASTERN SHOWHOUSE 2023

Y'all....I have some really pretty pictures to show you today of the Southeastern Designer Showhouse 

Nobody loves a showhouse more than me....where the designers get a chance to step outside of the box and use creative ways to design a room!

Now we all know that as a designer we are sometimes bound to client desires....and let's face it people that is our job!  But it is pretty fun to be able to build a perfect room that has maybe been in your mind for a while.....

This home was built by Benecki Homes in a nice neighborhood in Atlanta.  I loved the floor plan with the primary suite on the main which is always my favorite!  8500 square feet.  The architect was William T Baker.  There were 15 amazing designers who worked so hard to bring this showhouse to life.

It had a modern sophisticated kitchen and lovely back yard.

Are you ready for the pictures?   I will post a link at the end of all the pictures where you can see who designed what?  Unless I remember:)

STYLING FOR THE KITCHEN TOUR

Lord...these last 2 weeks have been crazy.  I had a photoshoot at my sisters with the kitchen designer.....The Designery and I did hire a stylist because y'all I just couldn't look at it any more:)

You know sometimes you have to step away and I have so much work to catch up on that my mind was boggled.

She did an amazing job and I loved see it through her eyes.....all good.

I did bring a lot of stuff over from my house for her to use and then I left it all there so I could do it all over again by myself this time for the Kitchen Tour sponsored by Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles that was on Saturday!

I had to buy the pillows and all the flowers for it and thank goodness for Rose because she helped me put the place back together!

Not only did I have to get more flowers but I had to get "staging food" for the kitchen....

I have some pictures for you but of course blogger is going to make this the hardest part of this whole post.....grrrrrr.

This is how I copied her styling below!  She didn't change the left side of the book shelving just the RHS!

I think Rose and I did pretty good.  She had the vase from Homegoods and I got that sweet little tan vase on the top RHS from Pottery Barn.

The stylist is above....and mine is below.

I found some good pillows from Pottery Barn....and the plant was already there!

So I had that large black pot hanging around and I got the throw at PB....very close to her styling below!

My styling below....

Above I used different flowers...and she had that amazing large pot with the hydrangea in them...plus that also incredible wood bowl with the beads displayed.

So you can see how close it all looks:)

I had the chair recovered and it wasn't ready in time for the photoshoot....but I was extremely happy with how it looked both days!

This table was a great HG find many years ago!  Gotta love that place right?

Here are a few pictures of the flowers in the LR....

And one of my favorite gallery walls.....plus I used that vintage tray I found while I was thrifting!

Well....that's it!      I will have the kitchen pictures next!

Before I sat down to write this I had to go over and get all my stuff....pack it up and now tomorrow I will return all the extra stuff!  Oh boy right....

I was there from 9:30-4:30 and I was starving by the end of the day so my sister, brother in law and I  went to get something to eat.  I took one of my taco's home to eat today for lunch.  Earlier I took it out to heat up and eat.  I turned around for...it seemed like one second and I think you know what is coming....little miss Cami had jumped up and eaten it in a flash.

I mean....she is on my shit list right now.
