Do y'all secretly hate me cause I live in Atlanta? I say this because beside New York and California I think we have some of the best home stores ever! I mean I could blog exclusively about all the wonderful places we have to shop.....
But I would have to visit them all....probably buy something....and then all hell would break loose at the home front. Not that hell does not break loose on a regular basis around here.
Good times.
The other day I got a call from a fairly new retail store that opened on the Westside called Steve Mckenzie's. "Wanna come for lunch?" Uh....me? A big loud "heck yeah".
What could be better than pretty things for your home and food?
Steve and Jill opened their shop almost a year ago. If you remember the Inspiration Showhouse last January.... most of Rhonda Peterson's furnishings came from his store.
He designed the fabric on this chair and it can be purchased by the yard from his store in all of these beautiful color ways!
Here are some pillows from his most recent fabric design....
Steve is also an artist.....
Steve and Jill's home was featured in Traditional Home.
Designed by Atlanta's own Kerry Howard.
The man has taste....
Steve...Steve...Steve....why you gotta be so bad ass?
Oh yeah....I was hating just for a minute....but OK...back to the store.
He carries the Grange furniture line.
So much eye candy......I hope if you live in Atlanta you will check it out and for those of you coming in town for Scott's or the Mart make it a destination.
By the way lunch was good.....Jill got cookies for us. That cinched the deal for me:)
Dexter this weekend......
Shaboom....

You know, it does seem that Atlanta has a ton of home stores! I have never been there but that is the impression I get from reading blogs! Lucky you! Steve Mckenzie's looks amazing!

Steve is indeed a powerhouse! I know him from his leadership at Larson-Juhl. I would be so thrilled to see his fabulous store and designs!

Yep your a lucky girl. We only have the market place here in philly and a few good home stores. maybe some day.... maybe he can bring his bad ass self up here to the northeast and franchise!
I'm kinda diggin' the fish scales fabric.
Bad ass indeed. Beautiful fabric designs! And yeah...what is up with Atlanta getting all the good stores. So not fair!
Can't wait to check it out!
Sherry,
Thank you for your kind words, it was such a pleasure to have you in to visit. Can't wait to work with you on one of your fabulous projects!
For those of you in the ATL please come visit, sit a spell and enjoy a beverage. If you are not in Atlanta, our website will be live in July.
Karen Albert, thank you! Debra Phillips you better come and visit in July!
Thanks again,
Steve
We have limited shopping here in lexington, Ky but I'm kind of glad - I'd be broke..
Thank you, Sherry, for your company and kind words. We're eager to work with you all in person &/or via our soon-to-be launched website.
Thx~
Jill
I can barely type because my fingers are so sore from tufting and now ya gotta make my eyes sore too??? from looking at cool stuff???
Sherry, what a great posting! Have I told you how much I love Steve and Jill? Not only are they the most talented duo, they are truly the most authentic!
Are you kidding? I live vicariously through you! The man is amazeballs.
I remember seeing that in Traditional Home, and loved the library. He also has great shoes. (I'm weird, I know, but I like a guy who wears great shoes. Stop what you're thinking, I'm married. Just sayin.)
IVE GOT TO GET ME SOME OF THAT FABRIC!
