MY ALMOST OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Y'all I have such a list of things to do for all of my clients I have contemplated just getting a job at Pottery Barn or even Chick Fil A [cause I could eat chicken tenders all day long]......less stress and a steady paycheck.

Why can't everyday just be "install day" where I get to play with pretty things?

About 3 months ago when everyone was showing their outdoor living spaces I had nothing to show:(

Then a friend of mine gave me one of her husbands new line of outdoor furniture from Leisure Made....a sectional.  I was so excited!

Lord I worked those pieces every way I could but my small [size of a quarter] round patio just wouldn't accept it.

I moved everything off and rearranged...... while I let every mosquito in Buckhead have a good wack at me.  

No bueno.

I was so frustrated.  Enter my sister....she was building a brand spanking new patio and I realized that is where it belonged!  Me wiping tears......

This thing is the size of my whole house.....

So she rented a truck and came to get it.  Her happiness kind of got on my nerves and I told her to take it down a notch.

We went over for dinner on Monday night and I finally got to see it and take some pictures!  This is the line called Augusta

Seriously it is so comfy....you can ask Cami....

I love how everyone is showing fall mantels and I'm like in the beginning of summer over here:)

I got to pick my cushion color from these selections....

So of course this neutral loving gal picked the tan:)

I think I am going to order this one for me.....

It will fit so much better and they are having a sale right now!!!

I'm off to Charlotte for 24 hours to measure for curtains.....I know....sounds crazy right?!

Maybe I will even work on a fall mantel when I get back.....oh hell....who am I kidding....I do not have time for seasonal decorating.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Yesterday I got a little peekaboo  of the ASO Decorator Showhouse.  I consider this one of the best perks of being a blogger....as it is one of my favorite times of the year.

I have not missed one since I moved here in 1988. Let's just apply that to my OCD design obsession.

I walked up and was greeted with this.

Whaaaaaat....these planters!

Black and white goodness all over the place.   Designed by Chip Wade with help from my friend Kristen F Davis.  

After I found out they were from Frontgate I could not get home fast enough and go take a look.

So then I thought what else is fabulous right?

Outdoor pillows grabbed my attention....

Big surprise there right:)

I decided to keep with a theme.

 These babies aren't cheap but I might have to pick out a few!

How about some entertaining?  

Yes please.....

And some great serving trays!

I already have this Ballard umbrella....so everything here will work for me!

But back to Kristen!  First of all [and I don't mean this in a stalker kind of way] but she is so pretty that when you are talking to her it is almost distracting.....all good of course:)

She has been putting out some great art pieces lately!

Feast.....

I did take a lot of pictures of the house that I will be posting next week so stay tuned.....

Here in Atlanta I think we are in for a wet weekend which doesn't bother me cause I had my Keritin treatment yesterday!

Whoop.

Bring on the humidity....I'm feeling cocky.
