NEW DESIGN BOOKS





I was cruising Amazon [only because they hound me with emails] checking out the "design book" section and saw some new titles getting ready to drop!  It's safe to say that we are all kinda obsessed with these guys right?



I am sure Steve and Brookes new book will not disappoint!






I do love me some Vincente Wolf!


 I miss Million Dollar Decorators....yeah I know the story line was weak but I loved to see them all talk about design.


I bet this one is chock full of great styling ideas:)



As I scrolled through all of those I realized there is an element in each cover picture that I would use in my own decorating style.  Interesting.

I also received another book in the mail that I am excited to read.  Kristy who is half of the blog Design Chic has written another one!  I can barely get a blog post out:)  

I read Dear Carolina and afterwards I started speaking with a deep southern accent that I couldn't let go of.  But then my husband said it was cute and kind of turned him on so I stopped immediately.  wink.


In other news....I installed some curtains in this gorgeous home [another Ladisic Fine Home beauty]!

This guy lived there.....

And....for some reason he did not like me!  WTH.....all dogs love me....I am just short of the "dog whisperer".   But not Blue.  As I was trying to take his picture he flew up and lunged at me [all 10" of him with that party hat on] and I jumped back like he was a snake....threw my phone and ran.  

I guess if you live on the east coast then you will have plenty of time to hang out at home this weekend.....snowmageddon is on it's way so make sure you are well stocked with wine:)  The important things.

ATLANTA HOMES AND LIFESTYLES




I have made no secret that AH&L is one of my favorite design magazines.  I am constantly amazed when every time I open the pages my face goes white and my hands get clammy with design envy.

This month was no exception.  Bob Brown and Jimmy Stanton.

Boom.....

Bob I'm coming for you....to perform an exorcism where I become you and you get me....yeah that is a bad deal for you but whatev......

Anyway this is his personal lake house and it got my brain all in a tizzy.



Um....it's OK I guess.



 I am all over this kitchen..... cause that is pretty much my granite which I could change [not happening while I am still married to this husband] or just put up a million dollars worth of shiplap [probably not happening either.....drats].


Kapow.
That chest is so darn gorgeous.



Next up is Jimmy Stanton.

His pad in Madison, Georgia was on tour last weekend so I missed it.  Crap.


OK....on second thought I am on my way now to buy a can of dark gray paint and throw it up in the kitchen.



I do not hate this table base.

This.....green sofa.  Boom.



Cole and Son wallpaper.

Meanwhile I am down in Florida making such important design decisions it is mind blowing.


I had new pillow shams made so I needed a couple of accents.  Do I go with the dark blue 

Or....
This color.

Whew I am exhausted from decision making.
Yeah I know.  I have been wanting to paint this headboard for 10 years.



Oh well.  There is always next year.

Last up is Dear Carolina.  Our blogger friend from Design Chic.... Kristy Woodson Harvey has written a book! It launches today.


So excited for her.  Go to Design Chic and see how you can win....wait for it....a 1000.00 shopping spree!
