CAMI

Y'all.....see this face?  Well it kept me awake all night with diarrhea....and I don't have time to finish this post before my 9:00 appointment but I promise to get it out today!

 

Of course I forgive her....but mama is definitely tired....lol.  These photos were taken in my One Room Challenge bedroom by my friend Tina Rowden.

Be back later....

SOME GOOD NEUTRALS FROM POTTERY BARN

Y'all....yesterday I took Cami to a new grooming place.  

Why? 

Well I have taken all of my dogs to Pet Smart and this guy has been there for 10 years and all the sudden the last time I called he was gone.  So.....I just booked with a random person and Cami nipped her.

Uh oh.  Trouble.  

So this time I called around and booked a new place.....[spread the bites around] and  

the lady was SO FRIENDLY on the phone so I was excited!

When I drove up I thought the building was abandoned..... it was in such bad shape.....like the sign was down and when I went in it was dirty and this weird guy came out of a back room tucking in his shirt.  Ewwwww.

No sign of the friendly woman!

Me texting my friend who used to own a doggy day care facility.  

I freaked out when I got back in the car and the whole way home I wanted to turn around and go back. 

 

I was a wreck the whole day....seriously I wanted to go pick her up but I couldn't think of a reason to tell them....and got nothing done.

Long story short when I went back to get her at 3 and the nice lady was there and she looked perfect!

They even put a pretty bow on her:)

Whew.....

OK on to design!

I was looking for some pillows on Pottery Barn and ran across some pretty good stuff.....mostly neutrals because well....that is usually on my agenda!

Starting with pillows.....of course.

And some great accessories!

Look at these amazing table lamps....

And I never met a black lamp I didn't like!

These light fixtures aren't cheap but occasionally they have 30% off lighting and then they are a deal!

I love this line below as all I could think about  was staining them a dark ebony.....but hey even in this light color they have a "Scandinavian look"

And this piece below....not crazy about the slats but you could load it with books or baskets!

The bench below caught my eye!

And this little number below....

Yes please!

And these 2 mirrors below....

Well....thoughts?  Listen PB gets a bad rap sometimes and for sure I HATE when I go to a clients house and they hand me the catalog saying "I love all of this"....because I want to give them a curated look but y'all know that I love to mix the high and low!

So...I called my doc and got some medicine and after 2 days I am not feeling much better....but hey I am impatient so we will see.  I am tired of coughing and peeing.

Last night Rose and I went to Ballard Designs to celebrate their 100th podcast.....guess what I was number 4....haha.

The dress is from Target by their Prologue collection and I can't find it online anymore.  But the belt is this one....

The lightweight coat is an old Eileen Fisher [4 years].

OK.....get started on Friday!

THIS AND THAT

Here's the thing...I wrote this one Monday and totally forgot to post yesterday.  I guess it's official...my brain is going.


I know I just did a "this and that" post but....this one is more of a "what I've been up to" post.

What a great relaxing few days.....we had friends come in from out of town....ha ha.... they live about 25 miles away but we had a party with some mutual friends and they did not want to drive back and forth.  

I am sure you might have heard about a little 10K race here in Atlanta called the Peachtree Road Race.

Well I did not partake in it but my friend did so his wife and I went up to the start to watch with Cami.

As we were walking up to the corner a policeman pulled up to pet my girl....he was a dog lover [even knew what kind of dog she was!] and pulled out some treats....so sweet.  That little delay caused us to miss seeing him run by but we knew that this was more important!

We walked the long way back thru my neighborhood to the my house and put in a total of  2 miles.

Then we decided to walk to our friends house 3 miles away to meet her husband [they live near Piedmont Park which is where the race ends].

If you are keeping track we are at 5 miles now!

I love this hydrangea tree....must get one before I die:)

They have a cat on a leash....new to me :)

Then we walked back!  Uh huh.  Total of 8.7 miles for the day.  Oh yeah by the way it was about 94 degrees.

That day [the 4th] we had the party at friends around 5.

So much fun!

They stayed until Sat afternoon....we were deep into watching The Good Fight on CBS All Access.  It is one of the best shows....the writing is top notch.

We had lunch at a new place called Little Rays [a Ford Fry restaurant].

I love this hand painted floor.....

If you are local give it a try!

Let's see what else.....

Before all of the above I was over at ADAC on Tuesday with a friend and we strolled into Romo Atlanta to check out some new fabrics.

These are all by Villa Nova and so cute!

Some of them come in wallpaper....

It's such a cute collection for kids!

Speaking of fabrics....Harbor Theory reached out to me about their fabrics and sent me some samples....check them out below...

Cuteness right?

I also fell in love with this fabric combo...who's in?  Call me and this can be your room....hahaha.

Save me from spending my money on all of these!

The last thing I will leave you with is this....

My friend Pam Sessions [who is Hedgewood Homes] completed the pool at Manchester Homes and I am in love with it.....so I now need these floors on my patio [husband....call the heavy equipment we have earth to move].

We could also throw in an oval window or 2.

It's market week in Atlanta so hopefully I will have pics of all the good stuff I see!
