THIS AND THAT

What can I possibly post about after #projectboulder?

I know right:)

Well I have a few questions to answer and random shots of what is happening lately in my life! Like that is so interesting.....haha.

First of all thanks for all the recommendations about what to do with plantar fasciitis. It seems to be epidemic......

I'm on it!

Somebody mentioned that I did not list the resource for the vanity in the upstairs bath

Just a note..... that I was impressed with all three vanities bought online!

Another question was "why did we use wall mirrors in the 2 baths upstairs". One reason is to makes the space look larger [and cost]. In the master I personally would want big mirrors to see myself and admire my beauty everyday.

When I got home I took a trip down to the mart to order a few things and happened to glance at some new Arteriors lighting!

Bam.

Over on another project this hardware from Top Knobs was installed....

Loving it.

Another vanity in the same house got a faux treatment....

Before

After

Crikey.....

Wait until the hardware goes on and the mirror is up.....I don't hate.

I stopped in to Sudi's to check on the bedroom curtains!

The soapstone countertops were installed in the kitchen pantry....

Bad picture of this bathroom but when the mirror goes in....

Jamie Young white hide mirror

This is the wallpaper.....

Kitty door....

2 black and white wallpaper samples that came in the mail.....

Went to meet my friend Lisa Mowry to see her new place....love the color of the bookcases. SW Needlepoint Navy.

And here's a treat for you....somebody was going through their pictures the other night and sent me this!

My hair can hardly fit in the room....hahahahaha

Still giggling.

THIS WEEK

I am not gonna lie....this was one crazy week. I lost 2 days because of a short trip to Chicago to escort my husbands Dad to a doctor visit. He is almost the picture of health at 94.

I do have a little problem though. This decor.

If this is what I have to look forward to in my old age I am protesting right now. No sir. Not acceptable. They have 30 years to update this crap before I get there or they will have one cranky bitch to deal with.

In other news I have a client who needs 6 DR chairs so I went to Home Decorators to check these out....for color and comfort.

I was surprised to find these would work! She has a couple of parsons host and hostess which will be upholstered in one of the patterns to go with the wallpaper. Neutrals....surprise.

While I was there I looked around and saw these candlesticks.....

And jars.

I also took a stroll through Renaissance Tile for selections on a project.

Love these concrete tiles for the floor in one room which got the OK!

And last....since the ORC reveal is coming up I might as well tell you how hanging the curtains went down. Normally I DO NOT participate in this activity.

There are so many factors that can go wrong....getting them level....too many holes with drywall and then wood....it can put me in such a mood that there is not enough wine in the state of Georgia to offset it.

You don't know the "ex bunny". We have a saying around our family called "Maggie World". Everything takes 5 minutes and is no problem.

We had 3 of these poles to cut.

We started with this tool....

After 15 minutes of trading out the job cause our arms were burning we switched to this one....

Yeah.....we got this.

Well we might as well have been using a butter knife....

I walked away no less than 5 times cussing....texting my installer to see if he was anywhere near to offer him WHAT EVER HE WANTED TO COME AND FINISH THIS JOB.

Meanwhile the Maggie was laughing the mean laugh like she was enjoying my pain.

#Sisterscansucksometime

It only took 4,325 hours but those suckers are up.

Happy Halloween

THIS AND THAT

Can I hear a big ole "Hey" cause we made it to Friday! Next up....rainy holiday weekend.

Of course.

No worries....I got plenty to do like paint that bathroom:)

I was flipping through my AH&L and I saw a cute little crib.

The home of writer Kathryn Stockett. Hello gorgeous white house. She had some help from her friend designer Caroline Normak.

So cute huh?

The iron windows and doors....crikey.

Get a load of this back view.....this is punch me in the face awesome.

Also in the issue is a feature of "power couples" here in Atlanta.

Jill and Rob Brinson. Jill is the creative director of Ballard Designs and Rob is an acclaimed photographer. They're just cool.

Owners of Bungalow Classic Courtney and Randy Tilinski. It is no secret this is one of my favorite home stores in Atlanta. Every time I go in there I am reminded that classic can be edgy and hip.

OK...that was the "this".....

From Bungalow Classic to Home Decorators [owned by Home Depot]. Yeah.....

I know how it is when you don't have a store to look at things you might want to order. I am here to help with a few pictures.
