THIS AND THAT

Who can believe it is the middle of July? What if I said there are 155 days until Christmas.....that will shake you awake from your "summer slumber" huh?

It's only 18 days until my nieces wedding....I have all my outfits planned out for 4 occasions which I will share in another post!

I also got suckered into having an after wedding brunch on Sunday morning so now I am in a dither to redecorate my whole house....haha...just kidding....haha....maybe not.

Blah....blah....blah.....first world problems.

Do you guys remember when I was doing the House Beautiful showhouse? AND....at the same time I was also designing a room for another showhouse down in Fayetteville Georgia which is at least 35 miles from my house.

Yeah.....it was a busy month! A lot of rule breaking when I said I would never do another room at a showhouse again after I did one about 5 years ago.

But whatever....#slowlearner

The point of all the complaining is I never shared the professional pictures of my space. [taken by Lauren Rubenstein

STOP.....before you start firing off questions about where everything came from here is the link to the post I wrote about it all:

Part One
Part Two

So yes I get it....this post could be mistaken for a complete sham.....meaning I have already shown most of these but I swear these are new pictures....lest the blog police come after me for recycling content.

Summer blogging is tough y'all....taps on the mike....is anyone NOT on vacation?

In other news....August 2nd I will be in Marietta at DK Gallery curating a piece of art along with a few other designers!

Here's the art that I chose....

This one just spoke to me......Come on by!

AND....I posted this on insta stories....I had never heard of this stuff!

But seems like I am in the minority here....

Alrighty then....it's lower body day at Bach so I have to get going!

NATE BURKUS

I think most people can remember the first time they saw Nate....on Oprah. He was so young and adorable....I fell in love instantly. I have always adored his design aesthetic...right from the "get go".

His rooms are full of texture....mixing styles with perfection and layering like there's no tomorrow.

Remember his first apartment in Chicago?

Well after he moved to NYC he remodeled a new apartment and re-used so many things....mind you they were GREAT things!
Like the rug below.....

And the sofa below which looks to be the same on in his Chicago apartment!
Along with the word art.....

Another apartment...there is that black and white rug again....

So classic!

Then he married the adorable Jeremiah Brent and they now have another design show on TLC that is a favorite of mine just because they are so adorb together. IMO

I bet you are wondering why I've gathered you together today.....well Nate has a new fabric line with Kravet....

You might think....well he designed this line for me. Well maybe he did? So what :).

Full of neutrals and texture. Yes.... there were other colors but he really doesn't stray from his palette which is mine also.

But let's get back to Nates designs.....

They have sold the California house above....and have moved back to NYC with their 2 kids.

Remember his old NYC kitchen?

I am excited to see what he does next.....

Here are pictures of his first apartment in Chicago....

And better pictures of the same apartment found here

And a wonderful tour of the home they just sold in Brentwood Ca....with a cute video found here
I watched it twice!

#allthingsnate

So listen....I might be back on Friday but I can't promise anything....this is the biggest vacation week of the summer and even though I'm hanging here in Atlanta...maybe I will pretend I am on a staycation!

Hope you guys have the best 4th of July ever!

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE SPRING 2019 WEEK 2

Cue the DJ cause we are about to get this party started!

Remember when I told you I was going to Highpoint....well that is where I am....trying to put together this weeks One Room Challenge post

Here's the good thing.... this week is where I explain my inspiration and I have thought long and hard about these spaces....no I mean LONG AND HARD.

I think most of you were sure I would do black and white and I gotta tell you I was on the cusp....the very edge....of going that way and then I had a moment....I wanted you guys to be surprised with my room....I did not want to be predictable:)

So....drum roll.....guess what?

I am going beige and blue.....a la Mark Sikes!

Texture...for days!

Lot's of stripes.....

Vertical shiplap....

Camel....and white....

Floral.....

Sprinkled with.....

Blue!

So...OK....here's what is happening so far.

Floor plans....the above is a NO.

I don't particularly like to walk into the back of a sofa if I can help it!

This one is my fav. This room really will not be used so it's just for looks...and it may not look like there is much seating but I will try to sprinkle a few stools around.....
