AROUND THE HOUSE





Good morning Monday....I have an Olympic hangover.......

Need to take a break today.....Sports are fun to watch and all that.....but well....gotta have some balance right?

It seems like you guys were all over that staging project.  I have more news to report...the professional pictures that the owner took and other details about the house.

Later on this week.

First up today I am going to share with you a picture of the slipcover  for my sofa that I did back in May...... and the dirt cheap lamps that I purchased at the Currey and Co warehouse lampapalooza.

This image was photographed by Christina Wedge.
She made it look pretty huh?


I took this one....
I have retired the pink chairs.



  I know...... it was a phase.  There was no other pink in my house and I just felt like they were a little disconnected.  A pink book maybe....

I am either gonna sell or have them recovered in a cream.  I dunno.
Thoughts?  They are modern.  I like that part.

I have something else to show you....
Remember when I put these hydrangea in this white vase....it looked so pretty I wanted to put fake ones in.  But....you guys blasted me about that.  

I really wasn't gonna do it.

I did find a solution though.

Tillandsia.

This little sucker needs no dirt.  Water like once a month.  Can I get a "hallelujah".

Just pick it up and spray the roots, or let it sit in a vase of water overnight.  

Might be the best plant ever.

I love it so much I might make some earrings out of them.....


Christina took this also.  She made me look younger that I really do.  I hate having my picture taken.  So awkward.  

I gotta run...Wednesday....part 6 of the ORC.  Hopefully I will have a few tricks up my skirt :)

 Seekers Bazaar did a sweet little post on the ORC.....check it out.
She gave me a new name....

Sherrific!  

BOOM.

Please don't recover those chairs! I would really like to buy them from you. Would you let me know if you decide to sell?

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

I love your new photo - and I hate having mine taken too, which is guess why mine is about 3 years old. Your place is looking more fab every time you post it! Have a great Monday, Sherrific!

Okay, I really need some of those plants. Great photo of you and your cute baby. Pictures for a publication?

My Interior Life said...

Your house is beautiful - duh! And if Susie Harper doesn't buy your pink chairs, I might! Although, I think they would look lovely in cream (maybe faux ostrich or something) as well. It's your call! Love that plant! Saw that somewhere recently. Maybe West Elm? Can't remember. Might need one!

My Interior Life said...

Oh, and your photo is gorgeous too, and you totally look that young in person too!

Unknown said...

Okay - now I need one of those plants! Where does one find this awesomeness? Great picture of you! - Your front entry is so pretty too!

Karena said...

Earrings fo sho! Seriously, I need that plant! Your house is perfect Sherry! Love your pic too :)

Kelly said...

I love your front living room decor. All the white makes me swoon! Btw, I'm not a plant snob, so fakes are fine by me. I dare anyone to "blast me" about it too! I wouldn't worry about it, honestly.

Andrea said...

Got to get one of those plants! I can barely keep my children alive, much less a plant. Your new slipcover is awesome. I wish we had someone where I live that would make them on-site. Fabulous!

Pura Vida said...

Chairs: I love those chairs..how about some sort of slipcover that you can see through...just a hint of pink? Organza, lace? on old bridal veil?

Plant: dang I'm gettin one!

You: DANG...you are a doll baby

Kerry Steele- Design du Monde said...

That is MY kind of plant! Something that thrives on neglect, hooray. Thanks for the heads up to all us black thumbs.

Emily A. Clark said...

I really want to live in your house.

Simply LKJ said...

OMGoodness, love the black and white stripes! And, those plants are awesome (especially for seriously lazy people like me).

Patty Day @Pattys Epiphanies said...

Love the sofa, white chair and that rug! No surprise!!! and the beads on one of my favorite books! Do we show the jacket or the gorgeous "Snow Leopard" hard cover? Cream, yes do the chairs in cream! I will also look for THAT plant. I kill weeds! You look marvy by the way!

pam {simple details} said...

Fabulous photos!! You, fur baby and, your house! :)

The Pink Pagoda said...

Those pink chairs are crazy gorgeous. Paleeese do not defile them in any way! I hate having my pic taken, too. I think I've managed to avoid it for years : )

Karen at Home Sweet Hollywood said...

Sherry, love your new slipcover and the changes in your living room...so pretty. Great picture of you and your beautiful front porch. And love that plant....where you you buy one?

Have a good one...

Lisa @ Shine Your Light said...

Fun plant - the shape, color, and aversion to death!

Cute pup….and beautiful new photo of you!

Kathysue said...

Sherry You have always been SHERRIFIC in my book!! Love every single detail I see in these pictures. Your home is so fresh, light and airy. You my dear are such a pretty letter and the picture of you and your fur baby is wonderful!! Am I wrong in thinking this is for a publication, If so, It should be!! xo Kathysue

Cassie Bustamante said...

michele said...

Mary said...

My thoughts on the pink chairs...KEEP THEM! They are so unexpected. That what makes a room interesting, right? Put a new pillow on them. Maybe that will change your tune.
I have to ask, where does one find a plant like yours?
You gave me another reason why I want to move to Atlanta. First it was Scott's. Now it's for your slipcover master.
And lastly...You & your pup look adorable!!!

Anonymous said...

GEEEZA! Your house is beautiful!! You look great in that pic but I know what you mean about it being awk! I'm having pics taken next week and I'm already nervous! xo

Annie H. said...

Your home is beautiful, so are you. I say keep the pink chairs, think they are great looking.

Heather Moore Grahling | Vivid Hue Home said...

I love that pink chair! It looks so great next do your entry way (btw, I'm drooling over the black stripe and want to steal that idea! LOVE)

Looking forward to wednesday orc reveal!

LiveLaughDecorate said...

Ummm, I think you must be smoking some fake flowers missy because no sane person would get rid of those pink chairs! They are fab, and are amazing against that black and white wall. Stop yourself. Now. Please. Yea, No fake flowers! Not cool. At all. Gotta say I love that solution you came up with. Super clever. So feel you on taking photos. Hate em. Dread em. Anywho, happy Monday and yes, I think we're all hungover from the Olympics and my Jamaicans haven't even hit the tracks yet! Lord help all us bleary-eyed bloggers.

Cindy said...

Earrings outta those plants would be epic, that's for sure! Yeah, your living room looks really really pretty! And your black striped walls are so crazy good.

Linda@ Lime in the Coconut said...

Ok....First. Love those pepto pink chairs. LEAVE em alone, would'ja?!

Chair bully! Just give em a chance...ummm...maybe at my casa...perchance. I rescue. Yes I do.

Secondly...those plants grow like wildfire in our trees. Happilly trade you...umm... maybe for a pink chair or two.

Thirdly...YOU are as cute as a button. a pink button.

There. SEE. You do have more pink in your abode!

Raina Cox said...

Well hellooooooo, Gorgeous!!

Linda {Calling it Home} said...

I'm with the "keep the pink chairs" club. I hate taking my picture, too. In fact, I may have made myself look younger...just sayin. I have wanted one of those plants for some time..guess time is up! Love your home, and I wish you lived closer. I have a feeling we would share a bottle of wine together?

Elizabeth @ The Little Black Door said...

Oh you've gotta keep those chairs. Or send them to me. Your choice. :)

aimee {sixteen fourteen} said...

You look SO cute {I agree with you about the awkwardness of having my picture taken though}. And that plant may just change my life...I need one now. :)

Babs said...

Tillandsia! Great choice..I had forgotten about them. That's a nice large one and it looks so good in your vignette.
GREAT photo of you and that cute pup, too.
New follower,

Carla Aston said...

Great plant. I love anything succulent. Ha!

Anonymous said...

Where can I get one of those plants?? Do not sell the chairs- make them a giveaway! Love the blog and your photo!

Taylor Greenwalt said...

Everything looks so pretty. Love your white chair. Looks amazing with the gray pillow on it. Your picture looks great... I hate getting my picture taken also and I am married to a photographer. I need one for my blog, but I am so critical cant find one I like. Pretty bad....?

Holly Gruszka said...

This also deserves a SHAZAM! You look great in the photo and I don't remember ever seeing your front exterior entry but it's beautiful - that's exactly how I envision our next home in my dreams :) I love the door and your steps. BUT - must Pin tillandsia - that is awesome!! And so easy to take care of is a big plus. What if you draped a throw or something over the pink chair? Would that help at all? The cream could go anywhere though...tough call.

Lori @ Lori May Interiors said...

Love the pics of your home, Sherry and especially the one with you and your sweet puppy!

Naz said...

I love those chairs....love them.

My daugher will be a bridesmaid on Saturday and if it were up to me I'd use that plant as a hairpiece. Of course that won't happen but I digest. You look marvelous darling!

Unknown said...

Love your new photos!! You look great, and I love air plants. But I somehow manage to kill mine...I think I do better with real dirt and a regular watering schedule.

LindsB said...

I've been meaning to get some of those air plants- they are so cool looking!!

LOVE that pink chair!!

Donna-s Lair said...
