MY HOUSE





I almost hate to post since there is so much going on our country.....I'm not blind but I feel like you might come here for some normalcy.  

I don't really want to start "that" conversation as I know how passionate everyone is about their beliefs.....and I am OK with that.  

We are all friends and have been for 11 years so let's just agree that this is a safe place and we will keep it light hearted and discuss my new coffee table instead....haha


A few months ago I went to the sample sale at the mart and stumbled across a Worlds Away waterfall coffee table and it stopped me in my tracks.  Rose and I both just stood there....thinking "do we have a client who could use this".  It was such a deal we just could not walk away so I bought it and we both said we will find someone.



So funny because when I walked over to put the sold sign on it there were a couple of designers standing around deciding to buy it and I said...."stand back people.....it's mine".


Well per usual for me it just hung out in a corner of my LR waiting for some love.  Over the holidays I scooted my pigeon basket coffee table out of the way and played with some styling.  

Big Mistake.




I kind of love it.  Crap.  Now the pigeon basket coffee table is in the corner.  Crikey


Of course I was on a roll and brought in my amber jar.....



And then I remembered I had this mudcloth which I was going to have pillows made out of so I tucked it on the seat of the sofa!







The rattan chairs were found on Craigslist many years ago and I had them painted!


I

I found the vintage Chapman sconces at Scott's probably 15 years ago....and the end tables at Tuesday Morning so long ago.  They were wood and I painted them as I love the lines.



I've had the sisal rug for a while and you can find one similar on Overstock as I have seen them before!



The small table is actually Currey and Co and was ordered for a client.  When it came I opened it to check for damage and just placed it in my room to see how it looked:)  She is probably reading this and thinking "well now it is used so I want a discount"....hahahaha



The black marble tray is from Target.....many years ago.



And my beloved Swan......Dawne Raulet Art.



I have already moved things around in the DR but here is that basket I bought for a client....and after I posted this on Instagram she reminded me it was hers.....haha.

So here is the before of the LR



I can't decide.......whaaaaaaaa
I know it is a completely different look.  I will be so curious as which one you prefer......

I will tell you that this shot was taken by a professional so it does look pretty good.

What to do.....what to do?

I hope you guys have a great weekend.  It's so cold here in Atlanta right now.  It's a Scotts weekend and next week is The Mart!  Plus I am so overloaded with work....which is a good thing I know but I am a little overwhelmed.

DECORATING WITH MIRRORS






So the last few times I have been to the beach it has been cold....cold and rainy.....or rainy.  You might want to check with me before you head down there because if I'm going.....expect the worst:)

Still it was a nice change of scenery.... only now I am scrambling to get everything done before I head off to Boulder for 36 hours.....

Crikey.

Talking about mirrors today and how they can brighten up a space.  I think it's safe to say that when decorating a room we have choices of hanging art.....a mirror or something architectural on walls.

I've put together a few of my favorites from vendors starting with Bungalow 5



Next up is Worlds Away





I love a pretty gold mirror shown here in my house  [from a flea market] and below [Bernhardt Interiors] when I helped with the House Beautiful Kitchen of the Year.




Another favorite source is Mirror Image Home.




I used this beautiful Mirror Image Home selection  below.



I always find some great selections on the Wisteria site.


I used the Moroccan in this bathroom below.  It is a great mirror for the price!

This is similar to the Halo
I love wood against dark walls....


One day I will use that white faux bois mirror!


I think it's safe to say that sometimes a mirror will change the look of a space....

My foyer.....many years ago


I still love my chicken feeder with the mirror in the middle!

Bathrooms are a great place to add a bold statement with a mirror.

A few years ago I added this Target mirror over a chest in a bedroom makeover.  Similar here

This Currey and Company beveled antique mirror is a current favorite.

Probably the best use of a mirror is to mimic a window when there isn't one...which I did in a family room below with this Ballard beauty!


Whats going on this weekend?  

Well in Atlanta we have the Junior League Kitchen Tour and one of my favorite art galleries Gregg Irby Gallery is having a group show Friday night called Sacred Places....landscape paintings through the lens of 7 different artist!


I hope spring is just around the corner for everyone....
