THIS AND THAT

Well here we are....a few days before Christmas and I am making the effort to change out my pillows instead of putting up Christmas decor.  

Priorities people:)

I've had these covers forever and I was just feeling frisky yesterday.  I should have used that energy to put up my wreath....I'll get to it!

I can tell you it was a busy week of furniture delivery and mini installs.

This great Bernhardt table was delivered along with the Bungalow 5 chairs danish white chairs!

The seats will be covered in this Thibaut fabric that is being backed and waterproofed!  The rug is also performance!

My friends had a Secret Santa party and they just moved in their new house....

Check out this situation....there is not much I like better than a window inside of the house.

They are also not afraid of color....

We played this game....

So fun....you can find it on Amazon.

If you live in Atlanta you have probably heard of Pollen Flowers and Goods.  I was in there the other day and just didn't want to leave!

You know I wanted that black and white stool!

Yes....I did get some wrapping done and I practice what I preach using Targets black box with black velvet ribbon!

And it was a Christmas Miracle because I finally emptied out my Pinewood Forest showhouse....3 months later.

I always spend time going to vintage shops when I looking for the perfect thing for a client..... and last week between installs....I was out and about.

Two awesome chairs....worlds apart right!

Palm Beach style....

These cute little risers are everything!

I wracked my brain thinking of a place for this cute little rug.....

And of course you know I loved this black and white bench!

I'm gonna leave you with this incredible tree decorated by my friend Jennifer Schoenberger who can rock some Christmas decor!

And if I don't say it enough.....thank you for reading....In February I will enter my 9th year of blogging.  How the heck have I stuck with this for so long....who am I?

Have the biggest fattest Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday you can muster up.

THIS AND THAT

Lately I have made going to showhouses my job.  

I posted about Kips Bay Palm Beach and yesterday I toured the Atlanta Holiday Showhouse.

But..... I'm going to give y'all a break today and just ramble about nothing until your eyes start to bleed.

After all it's the Holiday Season and I will probably have your attention for a hot minute so let me make it about me right?

Last night I dragged myself out in traffic [those that know me will realize that was pretty epic] to help a good designer friend Jennifer Shoenberger celebrate her home on the cover of Atlanta Magazine's Home!

I'm now obsessed with pink and red together!  Isn't she fabulous:)

 My tribe!

 Crikey why didn't I at least put some lipstick on?

Hahahahaha....almost the same look.  I think I am 6 here.

 I have been to her crib and it is gorgeous!

Remember when I posted about shopping all over the place in Atlanta last week?  Well here was the result of my pillow collection for a client.

Over at my Manchester project we finally  got the rug!

 I'm digging it!

And picked up this cool modern end table.

Pillows were installed......

Another project got this awesome Emtek door hardware.....swoon.

And the bathrooms are coming along nicely.

Oh yeah....there was that one "tear out" before they got it right.  Yikes.

I finally calmed down about the SW Pure White when I found some pretty backsplash tile.

I binged this new show from Amazon

Such a favorite....a comedy, with fashion and beautiful sets! 

Cami looking all pretty:)

Blah blah blah.....I think that's about it for today.  I am going to torture myself at Barry's Bootcamp again.

My hope is to get a wreath on the door this week.  Let's see how that works out.

HIGH POINT FURNITURE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

Whew....well I am back from Market.  Crazy jam packed days but more fun than I can put in words:)

My partners in crime were Erika, Jennifer and Lori.  

Let me set the scene for you.....

Country Inn Suites

Here we are in the furniture capital of the country and this is our decor....but in all honesty they were so nice and the location was perfect....so you make concessions right?

Day one....we hit Lee Industries first.  I have been selling Lee for years and was excited to see some of their new designs.

Also how stoked was I to find out that I had been featured in their "Best of Instagram" along with Jennifer and Erika!

Kapow.  It's like Christmas:)

A few chairs that caught my eye.  Who else has a chair addiction?

Next up was Currey and Co.  I was looking for some light fixtures for a client [I feel like I am always looking for light fixtures!]

Some contenders for the DR

Then I got all crazy and thought what about this for over the long island.....just 2 on either side as the hood is in the middle..[the ceilings are tall]

For the foyer I was digging these 2

Kara Cox generously invited us over to her home along with some other designers on Friday night. I'm pretty sure she didn't know me but I was traveling in the cool crowd so that was a perk:)

What a treat.....Her home was featured in Domino recently.

It's a beauty huh?  Check out her website for more good stuff!

Here are a few I took....

Loved this carpet

Cute wallpaper in a small bath downstairs.

I took these shoes I had ordered from Nordstroms.

They were pretty comfy but definitely not all day.  

But.....I did see a cute pair on someone that is next on my list to buy.

Dr Scholl's!

OK you know I got more.  Pictures and funny stories.  There was major laughter.....like side splitting .....wake up in the middle of the night stuff.

Hope you guys have a great week.....it's back to the grind for me.
