THIS AND THAT

Well....thanks for the love y'all.  I don't plan on quitting....unless I get so old there are like 3 people left reading haha.  Seriously though I really do still enjoy it!

Today....just a little this and that!  

Update on my knee.  It's been 2 weeks and it's getting better which I am so relieved about.  I walked with my neighbor last night a couple of miles and it was good.  It still hurts a little going down and up stairs.

I have also been busy cleaning out and giving my office a small makeover.  Whew......so much stuff accumulated. 

Last weekend I went over to Sudi's with my friend Rose [she is helping to decorate her new condo].

It's looking really good!

She had this chair recovered and I adore the shape and the boucle fabric!  

 

And Rose's husband installed this bedroom light for her....Circa Lighting

We lifted the bed and between all of us managed to lay down her rug!

 The bedroom is coming along and will be beautiful!

I finally went to the Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Holiday Showhouse before it closed.  

This porch was all black and white goodness!

What about all of this ceiling detail?  

New artist alert!  Caleb Mahoney which can be found in Atlanta at Greg Irby Gallery

This room by Courtney Giles was a fav.  Blue and camel are 2 of my favorite colors to use together!

Layer up people!

I posted these on Instagram but they are a few of my favorite lamps that I see occasionally at Homegoods.

And I bought this selection of wrapping paper for the farm!

I had this whole fashion post started but I didn't finish it so I am going to share the crux of it with you:)

I am sure you have noticed that white boots are trending!  I put together some for you to check out!

Clockwise....

I got mine over Thanksgiving from Nordstroms [All Saints] where they were 30% off and I had a gift certificate to use.  I would not normally spend this much:)

But....I do like how they look!

Thoughts?

Here are a few other looks lately from my #OOTD on Instagram stories!

Guess what!  One of my favorite designers Eileen Fisher sent me some clothes [after seeing me wear so many of them]!  I about died because I love her classic looks! In the first picture...the sweater [can't find on the website anymore] and scarf!  The above coat which is amazing!

Again with the scarf and the gray "high low" sweater.

The small crossbody black bag!  

Can you even?  I have bought her things over the years but always on sale!  I gotta tell you though I still wear them today!

So that's it people!  

16 days until Christmas....I am trying to get in the spirit....it's a bit of a struggle for me.....

PROJECT UPDATE BEFORE AND AFTER

So while I am trying to get the One Room Challenge under control I've also had a client getting ready for a party Friday night.  Lucky for me the furniture arrived on Thursday....whew.

This was a huge renovation by Ladisic Fine Homes that was started back in January with an incredible outdoor area added.....you can read about that on this post

I'll give you a few more updates today....

The dining room has a whole new look....

Before

This room had great bones...check out the ceiling trim and I did love the pretty blue walls...

But she was ready for a new look and we went with this gorgeous wallpaper which is now discontinued so don't even ask me about it!

Those precious hummingbirds:)

Then we added this gorgeous Circa Lighting chandelier which has always been one of my favorites!

And a stunning 72" round table....

Tuesday the curtains were installed and it was an other game changer!

Then on Thursday these fabulous chairs from Charles Stewart showed up!

With some great Schumacher fabric on them...a little modern to mix with the traditional!

Rug shopping next!

Before in the family room...this was already a good room but not great for watching TV.

The Charles Stewart sectional came covered in a Kravet performance fabric. ....It looks gray but is actually more blue.

Good TV watching on this thing right?

This Woodbridge coffee table that I bought at Market a few weeks ago.

The TV was located in the bookcases that were painted a green color.

So we moved it above the mantel and also changed the shape of the bookcases....

Painted them a dark gray blue....Before

Then I accessorized....the fun part for me!

And added this Charles Stewart swivel chair....

Before

After

This beautiful chest got moved to another area....

I added these prints....and we will add a nice green plant in this corner...or something....haha.

Curtains are hung...

Some beautiful sheers just to add softness....

With some nice textural Kravet trim.

There is so much more...pillows and pretty stuff added....I love working on this project!

But it's Saturday and I am off to Sheepie Day in the Park.....a gathering of Atlanta area Old English Sheepdogs.  Cami is kind of standoffish with other dogs....a little socially inept [haha] but it's fun for me to stand in a sea of Sheepies!

Have a great weekend...and stay tuned for week 5 of the One Room Challenge on Wednesday.
