2015 ASO DECORATOR SHOW HOUSE




It's my favorite time of year!  Yep...the Atlanta Decorator Show House opens April 18th and I couldn't be more excited.

I have never missed one since I moved here in 1989.  

I'm sure all the designers are probably knee deep in it about now trying to juggle their own design work plus meet the show house deadline!  

I kind of know what they are going through having my own private hell with a darn deadline.  I will update you later this week on how that is going.

Chateau Soleil is a french style estate designed by architect William T. Baker.  It was built in 1998, has 14,000 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 7 baths and 4 1/2 powder baths.



I looked over the list of designers participating this year and thought I would highlight a few.

First up is Jessica Bradley.  I wasn't familiar with her work so I visited her portfolio.

Beautiful.



Her traditional style is clean and polished.  I love this pretty bedroom.
 



Jessica is doing the laundry room and pantry.

Next up is Bob Brown.  Yes I have written about him before but I love his slightly masculine, sophisticated style so much.


Bob is a great stylist......and I love how he mixes traditional and modern so seamlessly.



I've noticed he uses a lot of wood tone in his designs and even though the rooms are well edited Bob creates warmth using his talent of layering different textures.


The rug.


I constantly see this room on Pinterest!

Bob is designing the master bedroom and "his" bath.

Beth Kooby is another designer who's work is new to me.  She has a great eclectic approach to design.

Check out this cute bath!


Love the floors in this one.




I am looking forward to seeing how Beth transforms 2 powder rooms.


Anyone coming in to town for this?  The dates are April 18-May 10th.  For a list of all the designers and portfolios go here

My own finish line is 17 days away.....which is causing me  slight anxiety.  People....it's just me.  I don't have a "team".....so Sherika has to pull this off:)

2013 ATLANTA SYMPHONY DECORATOR SHOW HOUSE




OK....so I might say this every year but whoa......the show house is an overload of out right prettiness.  

Every room I walked in I stood there in a stupid trance until someone snapped me out of it.  From the malachite in the foyer [see previous post for a glimpse of the real thing] to the whole room of Ikea greatness.

Yes....you read that right.  There is something for everyone this year and I think that is brilliant.

Why don't we just get started on some pictures.....

A little MM inspiration by my good friend [and fellow Inspiration Show House designer] Brian Alan Kirkland.  

The master bedroom was done by Melanie Turner Interiors.  Hot damn it was pretty.

More Mary McDonald with her line of fabrics from Schumacher.  
This room was so soft and pretty I drooled.

Can you see the subtle hand painting on the walls.....
I am serious when I say you HAVE TO SEE THIS ROOM.....

Janie K. Hirsch Interior Design did the master bath.  More Schumacher fabric and art featured from the talented Holly Irwin whose work is featured at dk Gallery in Marietta.

This small powder room was so hard to shoot.   Christi Rajevac gave it a good dose of mint green which we all know is a hot color this spring and there is a  light fixture in there that you must see.....!

I absolutely loved this bedroom by James Farmer and Maggie Griffin.  It had a Southern Accents feel [Still sad over the demise of that publication] which is so timeless and classic.  Maggie has a great blog called Bellissimo and Bella.  She just posted her son's nursery and it's adorable.....


This bathroom was designed by Jillian Pritchard Cooke and Katie Kitchens.  The wallpaper is by Tempaper which is removable!  Great for indecisive bloggers who like to change things.....you know who you are:)

It was hard to shoot this room because the walls were navy blue....and they were beautiful!  
Just another reason to get to the ASO Show House and see it all.....

Y'all....sit down and take a breath....these were the light fixtures in the kitchen.  I wanted to reach up and just rip one down for my very own...
YES.....to seeing this kitchen designed by Natalia Makarova from Karpaty Cabinets Inc.

Feast on the cabinet pulls....

The office by Courtney Giles had a great cinnamon color grasscloth on the walls.  The gallery of bird prints made such a statement.....She is extremely talented......
I remember how much I loved her room at the ASO Showhouse in 2012...


Speaking of grasscloth....
And more.....


K.....I have so many more pictures but why don't I save them for another post.  

Every designer worked so hard and brought their best.....

The ASO Show House is open NOW....through May 12.  Don't wait......

Oh yeah.....how about one more shot.

Uh....now you really want to go right???

Gorgeous day here in Atlanta....

A NEW SLIPCOVER......shhhhh.





In case you can't tell....I am whispering.  I don't want my husband to hear.

Here's the dealio.  My LR sofa had gotten pretty much trashed the last few years with my dogs.  Gotta love em...but they will mess up yo stuff.

There is this one side right by the window where Zipper likes to stand...waiting for SOMEBODY to come home.  Anybody.....I just want my peeps here.  BUT.....while I am here let me rub up against and slobber all over this sucker.

Here is the deal.....I decided to put a sheet over it about 2 weeks ago.  Like I was trying to protect it :)  That was just to trick the eye.....because I had something in mind.

Before I got the dogs, I was all ready to recover it in white linen.  

Yep.

Bought the fabric and everything....but for some good reason I could not pull the trigger on that one.  

So I had it done in a brown linen.

Thank you Jesus.

But....I could not take it anymore so I called my slipcover guy Jim Brown.

He is the one I told you about who comes to your house and does it.  Brilliant.

Here she be.  At first I was thinking I would paint the legs black and have no skirt.  But....I am a little old school in the fact that nothing else has a skirt in the room...so I needed the softness.

We cut off the skirt to help me visualize.


This is the same sofa I have had for 20 years.
Here is the before from that long ago.

It was all tufted madness.  So I had those puppies removed [5 years ago].  Yeah...I know...tufting is BACK.  But people....seriously dust and other critters will get caught in those holes.

Jim started at 9:00 AM.  Here he is pinning and cutting.

Meanwhile I had to run a few errands.

I happened to be in the West End area of Atlanta and well I popped into Jonathan Adler.  Lookie what I saw......

Very similar to this from the Atlanta Show House.

See those furry benches????  Oh by the way, this is the last week to go!  It closes on Sunday.
Here are a few pictures that I left out from the first time around.


The guest retreat designed by Christy Dillard Kratzer and Heidi Pierce.

Can you see that wallpaper?
Another view.  The wallpaper people....

Believe me when I say...you must go.  Now.  Today.  

Oh yeah...I am really bouncing here.
Back to JA.

I am loving this sofa....the arms...the legs.....

The tufted look...I know...I know....don't get me wrong....I love the way it looks.


I love this fun chair.  Man cave.....

Oh yeah...back to the sofa.

He brings everything.  Even his lunch.

Amazing......
3:30...finished.  6 1/2 hours.  Smack down.
That is all you are getting until I get it all fluffed up.....

It is still covered with a sheet :)

Jim is having a sale [10% off] if you schedule before June 30th.  770-516-0841.  His email:  jim@slipcoversonsite.com
Web site:  www.slipcoversonsite.com

On another note....here is a before picture of a bath I am working on....
I guess you could say....we got some work to do here....

Inspiration picture....

I got this picture from Jenna Sue.  They did this on a budget so go check it out!  Only problem is this vanity [which comes with the sinks is 59"].

Needs to be a double vanity.  58 stinkin inches.  Most every one I have found is 59.  Might have to go custom.

Like how I went from slipcovers, to the show house, to Jonathan Adler, to bathrooms.  That's how I roll.

What chu up to today????
I am on beach countdown....5 days.

Sha Boom
