INSPIRATION SHOWHOUSE

This time last year I had just finished participating in the St Phillips Cathedral Showhouse with Lori May.

It was my first time executing something like this and we sure found out how much work it takes.  

This year they did not do a show house but had designers decorate small spaces in the church [about 12 x 12 ].  

I think they lost my number......:)

No worries.

Back to the reason for all of this....

Just recently Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles did their spread on last years rooms.

Here are a few of the images from the article.

 

This is from my friend Ally [From The Right Bank].  Bless her heart....she had to spend most of her time outside but she was a trooper!  Looks like the middle of spring not January right?

This is from Lance and David [Parker Kennedy]  They rocked this "palm beach" style and I fell hard for this space.

This kick ass room is from Jennifer and Richard [Reiner White Studio].  So much inspiration.

Upstairs Bryan Kirkland [BAK Designs] blasted us with some great modern color!  It was stunning.

My girl Dayka [Dayka Robinson Designs] took us outside the box with this entry!

And then we come to Bill and William [Bill Ingram Architects] who put me in a trance with their space.  They were in the basement with us and we had so much fun that at times it was hard to pull it together when viewers were coming down the stairs.

And that's it.  

WHAT you say...where are your pictures???

Now I don't want to sound like "bitter party for one"......but Lori and I did not make the cut.

Whaaaaaaaa.   

Guess they didn't get my check.

So today I am posting the images that Christina Wedge took for us a year ago.  

She did a great job cause this room had everything going against it like only one small window.

We added the wood on the low ceiling and stained it Classic Gray.

A good thing is the great texture with that stone wall...... it helped give our space some interest.

We tried to disguise that door by painting it the same color of the walls and even added a picture on it.  We are nothing if not clever.

As you have seen.... those pillows are now residing at my house and I have to say I am not tired of them.  Whoa...news flash.   Call CNN.

So there you have it.  I created my own 5 minutes of fame.  You can do that when you have a blog.

If you want to see an image of the room before go here.

As you know we had the big ice/snow storm on Wednesday and here we are on Friday with 90% of it gone.  That is the beauty of the south.  

30 degrees one day and 60 the next.

Have a fabu weekend.

Shapouting.....just a little.
