CHRISTMAS DECORATING PART 2

I am sure you have been waiting with anticipation for the rest of my Christmas decor....thinking oh boy maybe she got crafty this year....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Gave myself a good laugh there:)

I did do some holiday baking....How great is a recipe that doesn't dirty any pans!

You can find it on my food pinterest board.

Of course I ate quite a few and again....if I don't stop then the size of my butt will soon become a "tourist attraction".

OK....Holiday decorating.

I still love my new DR which I got a makeover during the spring ORC. My swan painting which was gifted to me from Dawne Raulet [you can find her work at Huff Harrington] is one of my favorite things along with my Schumacher Pyne Hollyhock curtains which my friend Sudi made for me.

I am blessed with the kindness they showed me!

I filled my dough bowl with greenery, coral, some ornaments and candles.

I wish I could say I glittered up those pinecones but nope...bought them that way!

Some pretty magnolia goes a long way to help warm up an area....

A few touches in my bedroom....

My favorite Wrist Soriee bracelet that I wear everyday!

I have actually done a little more since I took these...layered it a bit. Just like anything....it's never done right?

Scott's is this weekend....are you going?

I also want to say thanks for reading DI because if I don't say it enough I am humbled by all of you and I appreciate those who take time out of their busy schedules to comment:) Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!

A LITTLE ORC UPDATE

OK.....first things first. You remember when I posted about an artist whose gorgeous home on Lake Burton was published in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles? It was all done in white and I drooled.....

Well....you won't believe what happened after that. Her name is Dawne Raulet and she reached out asking if I was the "Sherry Hart" who used to teach fitness at Jeannes Body Tech? She remembered me and had been a member there years ago. I was so happy to be able to say "why yes I am".

Anyway....long story short she wanted to paint me something...of course I was all...oh you don't have to do that...and on the other end of that email I was like FOR REAL......holy smokes....clapping my hand together like a kid at a birthday party getting a goodie bag.

And guess what?

Yep....I picked it up on Tuesday.

omg people.....

Is this perfect for my room or what? Can you believe it? I am so thrilled!

And dang her home was so incredibly gorgeous that I wanted to break out my camera but for damn sure that would have sealed the deal of "crazy....stalker....girl crush" image right then.

So I restrained. But I wanted to so badly.

I did my ADAC design tour on Thursday and it went really well. I met Laura Hemandez who is manufacturing these beautiful trays.....and she brought me my very own!

How freaking gorgeous is this? Was it like Christmas for me this week?

You betcha.

You can find Laura on Instagram [rinnovarestudio] if you are interested in one of your own!

Have you heard about this app called Patternsnap?

Take a picture of a pattern and it will tell you what it is! Check it out.

Have a swell Monday

ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES

Have you guys seen the cover of AH&L this month? As somebody who adores white interiors it was the MOTHERLOAD!

It features a beautiful home in Rosemary Beach designed by Melanie Turner. It's a stunner y'all.

I have always loved this gorgeous wallpaper from Schumacher.

Oh Melanie.....you got some talent girl.

Next up is Dawne Raulet Hall who is a stockbroker turned artist.

She took a 1930's fishing cottage in Lake Burton and turned it into just plain WOW.

Starting with gallons of white paint to lighten up the wood paneling it was transformed into a place I could call home:)

Love the mix of Ikea chairs with "found objects".

I had to find out more about Dawn and her art and I was not disappointed.

When I saw this one I slapped my head in an ah ha moment remembering designer Monique Gibson's work.

Remember this?

And I created this design board.....

So now I know who my new "art crush" is!

Full circle.

I am in love with her paintings.

In fact one of these would be the perfect piece in my ORC. Dang I wish she was my neighbor and we shared casseroles and wine together.

Dawne.....you would like me.....I would make you laugh while you painted and and we could be besties.

In Atlanta you can find Dawne's work at Huff Harrington Home

I feel a serious obsession coming on. Maybe even some stalking.

I hate when I get like this....kind of reminds me of when I was little and my shoelaces had to be tied in perfect bows that were exactly even on both sides.

No exceptions.

Are you guys ready for Wednesday?

The start of the ORC.
