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.

HIGHPOINT

I am embarrassed to say this but I never started Game of Thrones....and now I feel left out.  Easy to rectify if I have 73 hours to binge....not sure when that will happen.

I think I am more of a Mad Men type of story line...binging 92 episodes of that seemed like a minute:)  And I was depressed when it was over...I felt lost.

I made it back from Highpoint on Wednesday and Thursday I was exhausted.....no energy.  It is always visual overload for sure so Thursday night I went to bed at 9:15. It felt so good.....

But let me show you a small amount of what I stumbled on while I was there.

I thought you might enjoy the view from our room!  We stay about 20 minutes from Highpoint and it's normally an 89.00 @night room but elevated to 290.00 @night during market!

This is where we always go for dinner the first night...the misspelling of Lunch should tell you something:)

But....they have these so all is good.  Which by the way will get you quite loopy if you drink the whole thing....hee haw.

Arteriors was our first stop and they never disappoint.

I thought these were tiles and immediately started planning a backsplash but was told by Lori that they were just finish samples....I can be a goof.

I am always looking for unusual bathroom mirrors!

My fav below....although Lori had a good idea to put a piece of glass on it.  Brilliant.

Moving on to Visual Comfort.  So many new introductions from great designers even Ellen Degeneres.....and hers were pretty awesome also!

We all know that lighting can make a space and it's nice that VC was also showing a lower priced line they now have.  Lights for everybody!

My favorite light from Currey and Co.....duh:)  Also followed by some great small drink tables....which I am also looking for!

  

I briefly walked into this booth but they were so busy I could not get any info....looks like wallpaper from Wendy O Connor and I am smitten with it!

And last up towards the end of the first day we cruised through Thibaut and I saw some of the wallpapers I posted about a while back....

How much do I love this paper below:)

And while there was a huge storm outside.....

Notice where Highpoint is....right in the middle of that mess!

I was in a nice dry space looking at some of Hooker's new line.  When we think of them we usually imagine big chunky furniture but things are changing over there and I was surprised at some of the findings!

So that was the end of day one.....

Hope you enjoyed the tour.....I've been busy working on my ORC and I gotta tell ya....it's hard and maybe I should have just stuck with my element.....black and white.  I mean crikey It's like the House Beautiful project all over again.

Werk....werk.....werk....:)
