A LITTLE INSPIRATION......

Hey y'all.....sorry about Friday.  Seems like I keep skipping a day here and there.  Sometimes I get overwhelmed with work....working out and social media!

Oh and let me tell you.....when you get old it seems like there is always a doctor visit or 2 in the horizon!  Lord that could be a full time job on its own.

I went to the eye doctor after that incident in the middle of the night when my eye started watering and wouldn't stop.  People had me convinced that it was a symptom of a disease where I might go blind so I was all freaked out.  

Crikey.  After a handful of test he said it was probably a piece of dust and when that happens the eye freaks out and just wants that speck of dust gone!

Yay eye.

Anyway he said I have the eyesight of a hawk so at least one body part is still kicking!

We have all been down that rabbit hole on Pinterest when we are looking for a sliver in inspo for a project.  Well I was doing just that and found a pretty amazing project.

Thought I would share.

The architect is Jeffery Dugan.

The designer is the talented Beth Webb

The photographer was Jean Allsop

Quite the team.

Is this charming or what!

So that is just the outside....

Let's peer inside.....

So pretty and understated.

I am in love with the architectural details...so well thought out.

Love the natural pecky cypress walls.....looks like they have been bleached.

But guess what....I also found this beautiful home dressed up for Christmas.  Yeah I know....but you can save them for next years inspiration :)

I might be tempted to leave this up all year:)

This door.

This staircase.....

It looks like the perfect house to me.

Thanks for your thoughts on my tooth decision.  So funny because my sister texted me and said she has an implant [how did I not know this?] and the lead up was way more than the actual procedure.  And the dentist was cute. 

And.....she had sedation.

Thank goodness for mask right now because even though it is a not my front tooth you can see it when I do a big ole donkey laugh!  Hee Haw

OK....gotta run.  Get the old workout in and then start the day.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Today I am writing about the art of photography.  I have worked with Anthony-Masterson a few times on photo shoots.  They are quite the cool hip couple.

Owen and Christine are a team.....as in married and working together.  In fact they even really like each other...... a lot. 

 #Best friends.

Anyway.....they have some great photography that is for sale and I wanted to be the one to blab about it.

Here are some of my favorites.

Anytime I might think I can take a pretty good picture I need to  come down to earth.  Not so much after seeing these.

I am such a big fan of photography used in interior spaces.  I feel if you can't afford some custom art then original print work will be the next best thing!  So get yourself some.....here

Next up is Jean Allsop.  I was walking around the shops in Rosemary Beach the other day [taking a break from cleaning!] and saw this book.....

After opening it up and flipping through it I got faint a little and had to sit down.  The photography and the design is breathtaking!

Jean used to work for Southern Living and Coastal Living before gong freelance.  She lives in Birmingham.  This follows the beautiful book 30A Styles which she photographed.

One of the designers featured in the book is Melanie Pounds.

After a little research I found her kitchen that was in House Beautiful in 2010! That is 5 years ago in case you are the creative type and can't add.  Meaning it is still so relevant today.

Holy crap this is good....

And then I found this bath....

I am truly a fan of her work.

So.....from photography to design....they go hand in hand because what good is a well designed room without a photographer to help show it's beauty right?

Have a great weekend...
