Finally the beach.....and the floors are white!

I haven't seen them but my sister looked in and said "It's white in there!".......I said "really white?"  and she said "yes".   Well...what does she know....she owns a restaurant.   Besides, there is no furniture, pictures or anything so I am sure it is blinding :)

Before I left Atlanta, I went to Restoration hardware to look for cabinet pulls.  I went to Home Depot first thinking that I could find some really cheap ones that I would like.  No such luck.  I REALLY tried.  Then I went into RH and knew I was in trouble.  I saw these....

Oh yeah...come to mama.....glass in the middle.  I was fixated on them like a teenage boy looking at a Sears catalog in the 50's.  They did not even have one for me to take home and stare at.  I broke down and ordered them.....we'll see.

I will not even be home until the 4th.  To see the white floors.  

I ran across some pictures of Atlanta designers Carter Kay and Nancy Hooff the other day and thought you guys might like to see some of their work.  I remember hearing Carter's name years ago when I first started in the business.  I always loved her work, but the two of them together have really done some stunning design.

This kitchen is going into my files for sure.

Holy crapness.....this has me totally in love.

More pretty....

I remember this vignette being in one of my favorites on the kitchen post I just did.

Looovvvveeee this room.

So much beauty...texture, neutrals.

I love how the window treatments are hung and the gold chair with the gray and spice color.

I know I have used this picture before with the modern lamp and the starburst mirror.

What doesn't work here????  A big fat nothing....

The opening of the door matches the top of the mirror.

I would love to recreate this in some way.

Hello gorgeous....the curtains just make me happy.

Yep...just plain pretty.

This is the kind of design that is timeless in my book.  Very well edited and not staged.  

Hope you guys all have a wonderful Memorial Weekend.  I hate to complain but it is dang hot here at the beach.  Everyone is down in the sun and I just couldn't take it right now.  I ran 4 miles in the heat this morning and it about killed me.  So I am relaxing in the AC with my poochies.

Somebody knows how to edit.....

Christy Martin of Studio Encanto knows how to edit a room.  This look might be too sparse for some but I love it.  I makes me want to walk around my house with a huge basket and just start tossing crap in it.

 After some practice of taking pictures in my own house and on other design jobs that I have completed I can see the genius of this photography.  It does not look staged.  Just simple, clean design.

I want to move in.

The dining room.  Love the floors, the ceiling and the painted brick.  Actually I love it ALL!

  

There has been so much talk lately of how people hate TV's over the fireplace.  Maybe the TV is in the FP and they have disguised it :)

I am pretty much a white kitchen girl myself, but I find these attractive.  I don't particularly like that they did not take the backsplash all the way up to the cabinets.  But I forgive.

Just plain pretty.

Looks like we found the TV.  Not over the FP.  They must have gotten the memo.

Peaceful.

Splish Splash.....I love this bath.  

On another note I guess every blogger but me is going to the taping of the Nate show today.  How did I miss that wagon train?  I must have been picking my nose or gathering  furniture on the side of the street when all that went down.  I sure did not know this, but blogging is WAY eye opening.  It is like a cult....(think Amway salespeople) and because of the internet shit move fast.  It is not like when you were in the 6th grade and you passed a note to the girl behind saying that Suzy had a bugger hanging out of her nose.  It would be days before more than 5 people knew about it.  NOT WITH BLOGGING.......no sir.......information can be found printed in a books and on the shelves at Barnes and Noble before a days end.  It is like a fire, a computer virus.....do you get what I am saying?  

So...that is how I missed it.  I blinked.

Enjoy the pretty pictures...

I have admired her work and thought I would share a few pictures from her portfolio.  I LOVE the blue shutters she used in the family room picture!  Everything is so edited.
