THIS AND THAT






I hope you guys had a relaxing holiday break.....3 day weekends need to be the norm right:)

I don't have much today....seems like I am in the middle of all my projects with half finished shots but I will share....cause I am that desperate :)

Speaking of desperate....I totally need to get a keratin treatment as this rain has reminded me I was not blessed with smooth beautiful hair.

Crikey.....

Here are a few shots of progress....

This gorgeous Currey & Co mirror was installed over a bar cart.

BOULDER #FIELDCOURT BEFORE AND AFTER PART 2

Kitchens.....the hub of the home.  Probably the one space that can help sell a house right?  So it makes sense that you would invest the most thought [and probably money]  in this part of a remodel.

Some facts we considered when designing this kitchen.  
**Once we took the closet wall down it would be visible from the foyer.....
**Adding the black and white cement tile created the WOW factor!
**Open up the space [taking part of the wall down] for easy entertaining.
**Creating hubs....butlers pantry and prep station.....to allow for more "cooks" in the kitchen.

Here is the original real estate shot when the house was on the market.
Before

Such a light bright space....

Most are real estate shots as I left before it was totally finished.  You know I am not happy about that!

BEFORE AND AFTER BOULDER #PROJECTFIELDCOURT






The Boulder Project.  I'm really sorry it's over.  I had to leave before I could move everything an inch or so.....finish that last layer with some plants and get some perfect detail shots.

For me that was hard.....it was my baby for 3 months....consuming my thoughts. 

Today I have some of the real estate shots along with my iphone pics to share.  You know how the real estate shots are.....wide angle with all the lights on!

A floor plan of the main level for reference.

DESIGN PLAN





Remember me?  I'm back from Boulder and as usual it was jam packed with building furniture [epic fail], shopping, styling and coming up with economical ways to pull this project together in 3 days.

This was one of the pieces we tried to build

Um.....after 2 hours we gave up and it is now going back to Target half built and with a bad taste in our mouth.  Don't tell me while I am slaving..... trying to put it together..... to watch a video on how to put the drawers together.

That sent me over the edge.  Hands in the air waving a white flag.  Done.

SUMMER FASHION





The weather is changing and I have cute summer clothes on my mind.  I might have said this before but spring only last a hot minute here in Atlanta.

One second we are wearing long sleeves and the next we are sweating.......taking scissors to those sleeves.

I have purchased a few things lately and I discovered a new brand of jeans that rocked my world!  You are probably wondering how that may be but I have a small waist and a rather generous behind so when I find good fitting jeans I want to spread the world:)

SOUTHEASTERN DESIGNER SHOWHOUSE & GARDENS 2017 PART 2





OK.....more Southeastern Showhouse goodness for you today!

If you remember I focused mainly on the kitchen on the last post because it rocked my world but today I have some pretty professional pictures and some drab iphone shots taken by me.  You can suffer through those:)


This is the last week to see it!

BOULDER PROJECT UPDATE #FIELDCOURT





I hope you guys got a chance to scroll through the One Room Challenge post.  I'm  so amazed at all the talent out there and how they can pull it together so fast!  

I can vouch for the pressure.

#deadlines

I have some updates today on my Boulder project. I'll be heading back out there in about 10 days to give this staging thing another whirl!

Let's recap.

If you remember the outside of the house looked like this


We decided early on to paint the house dark because the wood was in bad shape in areas and after we painted my Madison project I'm pretty much obsessed with the look!

In fact the front of the house was in pretty bad shape so the wood was replaced and just to confuse the issue....[why not right]..... was hung horizontally.



Then we made another decision to paint only the front entry area white!

Inspiration:


Using natural wood, dark paint and white!


After looking at about a thousand or so outside lights [they had to be statement!] I somehow stumbled on these from Lamps Plus.


Can't wait to see these bad boys installed.....

Remember when you walked in the front door this is what you saw....



And now.....we have this!



I haven't seen it in person yet but I can't wait!

The bathrooms have all been tiled.

Master before

Hall bathroom before

And....bonus room bath before

Some painting.....in the TV/Den


 Back entry area


Black shiplap!
I'm hitting every trend on this one:)

And you remember my inspiration for the kitchen?


It's starting to come together.....

The kitchen backsplash got installed with the black and white Cement Tile.

Hopefully they will send me some more pictures soon....I used to get zero until I read them the riot act.  

The million dollar question is "do we have enough furniture to fill this place up?"

I guess we will see:)

To see more pictures and updates of this Boulder project you can go here, here , here and here


I know you were curious about the Mother Cluckin Fried Chicken Festival I mentioned....it was pretty dang good!

All.  You.  Can.  Eat.

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE





Yep....I am jumping in.....week 4 1/2.

Ha Ha..... JK:)

But I am here to update you on some of the participants in case you have been too busy to check it out!

Every time I don't get invited I have a small little "pity party for one" and then I slap myself into reality and say "girl what chu thinking.....you do not have time anyway!"

Still the ORC will always have a special place in my heart.  Shouldn't I be grandfathered in?  Hee Haw

Let's start with this great DIY from Censational Girl



Uh huh.  Not only does she have time but skills.
#admire



This Cole and Son wallpaper is EVERYTHING!
I'm not sure I have seen it up in this colorway but I'm in!
#neutrallove


Christine never fails to impress with her skills....and add to that.... she always takes on a whopper of a project.  Similar to building a house from the ground up and decorated in 6 weeks.

Brit from House Updated 

Are you kidding me?  I had to re-read to make sure that this was indeed correct.....Brit did this tiling herself.

Here is her plan for a laundry/bathroom.
