SCHUMACHER SPRING FABRICS

I bet you thought I went and joined the witness protection program.....no....I just had one of those days on Friday.  Happens occasionally....when I just can't get it together and I feel like my "voice" is not important.  Life.

BUT......here is an update on my BIL.  He had surgery on Friday and all went great.  They left 40% of his esophagus which is so much better than we had all hoped for!  No cancer anywhere else so now it is on to recovery.  We are all relieved.  I tell ya....the treatment was pretty rough though!

I guess you have heard that Georgia is open for business....I'm not sure how I feel about it but dang I don't want anybody to lose their business either.  Crap these are tough times.

ADAC has been closed but I got an email the other day from Schumacher with all of their new fabrics!

I had not heard of Molly Mohan but apparently she has a new collection with Schumacher and it's a "doosy" y'all.

Let's browse....

Like every good blogger I of course went straight to  the internet and Instagram to find Molly and get the scoop.

It's located in Great Britain and not only do they have great fabric but the wallpaper is pretty special also!

The fabric is hand blocked.

Pretty huh?

Who am I and where is all the black and white that you usually see here????

What can I say....it's spring!

Here is some of the collection for Schumacher!

And just because I vanished on Friday here are a few more pretty collections from Schumacher to wet your "spring appetite".....

Pay attention because it is very rare I show all of this color.....it's almost blinding:)

I sure am missing my gym....I walked 57 miles last week and I am so bored with it.  Yes.... I listen to podcasts but I find my mind wandering so much that I have to re-wind all the time.  

Hope everyone is staying safe:)

THIS AND THAT

\I have to say that so far....this week has been better than last week.  Whoa....there's a news flash for you.  Everyone said that each day gets a little better and y'all might be right.  Hate to admit that because....well you know...maybe I wanted to wallow in my self pity just a little longer.

I don't think that is how life works....

I have been trying to catch up at work and have made some progress!  That is a good thing.

Let's see.....where to start.

Had a curtain install....and Lord these are pretty!  The Scalamandre trim along the leading edge of these flax colored linen curtains was a hit!

We recovered this pretty Bungalow 5 chair with a quilted Duralee fabric....

I worked out at Bach and they always have an inspirational quote hanging around.....

Over at my Friar Tuck project that I posted about last week they started staining the doors.  Michael and I decided that maybe it was time to bring stained doors back.....these turned out so pretty!

Somebody asked where this project is located..... it's in Ansley which is another beautiful community here in Atlanta.

I have spent a lot of time picking out tile lately...I have 4 more houses to put together.....that is like 20 bathrooms!  Holy crap.  #sendhelp

Last Wednesday night I popped into Jenn Balcos Art Gallery to see some gorgeous art by Joe Adams....

I started cleaning out the office here at my house and of course anytime I am going through all of my fabric samples I get distracted.

It's the curse of a designer....:)

One of the vanities that just got built for Friar Tuck! 

 

It took me forever to find the hardware for this one but I love how it turned out!

I couple of people told me about these Bliss pads  so I bought some.  I am so gullible sometimes but they sting a little when you use them so that means they are working right?

I have had fun posting my #outfitoftheday on insta stories!  This is a "pumpsuit" that I bought at Target [no longer available].

 

And a friend of mine came over to take some pictures....

Here it is with a little jacket and some boots...

Of course Cami had to get in the picture:)

It has been a minute since I have done anything to my house....but the other day in the middle of total chaos I re-arranged the top of this cabinet...

Not sure why....but it does look better than before so that's a plus.

Y'all I can't find anything to watch right now.  After Offspring.....everything is boring to me.  I have started at least 10 shows on Netflix and after 2 or 3 episodes I'm done.  It must be me because so many people have recommended shows that they swear are incredible!  

Just not feeling them.

I have been putting my life in order lately....getting insurance in my name, utilities....and all of that other stuff that comes with being single.  Even though I run my business.....now I have to run my life.  It's OK....I can do this.

The rain in Atlanta.....no words.

SCHUMACHER FABRIC AND WALLPAPER

Hey y'all.....you may still be in a "candy coma" from Halloween :)  I think this is the first year I did not buy any candy and actually turned out my lights and hid in the bedroom.  It's not that big of deal because I normally get less than a handful of kids. 

When did Halloween get bigger than Christmas?  I have heard that more is spent on decor than at Christmas time. 

Crazy.

I'm coming in hot this morning with a post about black and white fabric and wallpaper from Schumacher.  In less than an hour I have to walk Cami and then get ready for 2 appointments.

So let's get to it. 

     It's no secret of my love for black and white.

I mean do you know me?

                     Everyone of these fabrics.

                        Are you wowed yet?

            Well here are some great wallpapers!

                  I have used many of these.....

     I love to use a pretty paper in a powder room.

I noticed this gorgeous panel wallpaper in black and white and just about spit out my coffee.....

Hubba Hubba......it's not cheap....I gotta be honest but I put it right up there with something I don't think I would ever tire of.  Speaking of that subject....I am not tired of my Pyne Hollyhock fabric and now they are bringing it out in a pretty yellow!

Why are they always taunting me:)

What's on tap for your weekend?  You wanna know something weird....I mean weird for me?  I have not stepped inside a HomeGoods in 2 months [since I returned from Boulder].  Yes that is the truth.  

And I have actually spent more time in my house than ever before.  Part of it is I don't like to leave Cami alone.  She gives me those big sad eyes and I am torn. 

I will say this..... I have heard from so many of you that have gone through the same thing and come out the other end happier.  

Thank you..... because that is so reassuring.  It's always good to have hope isn't it?

Happy Friday peeps

THIS AND THAT

Here's the thing...I wrote this one Monday and totally forgot to post yesterday.  I guess it's official...my brain is going.


I know I just did a "this and that" post but....this one is more of a "what I've been up to" post.

What a great relaxing few days.....we had friends come in from out of town....ha ha.... they live about 25 miles away but we had a party with some mutual friends and they did not want to drive back and forth.  

I am sure you might have heard about a little 10K race here in Atlanta called the Peachtree Road Race.

Well I did not partake in it but my friend did so his wife and I went up to the start to watch with Cami.

As we were walking up to the corner a policeman pulled up to pet my girl....he was a dog lover [even knew what kind of dog she was!] and pulled out some treats....so sweet.  That little delay caused us to miss seeing him run by but we knew that this was more important!

We walked the long way back thru my neighborhood to the my house and put in a total of  2 miles.

Then we decided to walk to our friends house 3 miles away to meet her husband [they live near Piedmont Park which is where the race ends].

If you are keeping track we are at 5 miles now!

I love this hydrangea tree....must get one before I die:)

They have a cat on a leash....new to me :)

Then we walked back!  Uh huh.  Total of 8.7 miles for the day.  Oh yeah by the way it was about 94 degrees.

That day [the 4th] we had the party at friends around 5.

So much fun!

They stayed until Sat afternoon....we were deep into watching The Good Fight on CBS All Access.  It is one of the best shows....the writing is top notch.

We had lunch at a new place called Little Rays [a Ford Fry restaurant].

I love this hand painted floor.....

If you are local give it a try!

Let's see what else.....

Before all of the above I was over at ADAC on Tuesday with a friend and we strolled into Romo Atlanta to check out some new fabrics.

These are all by Villa Nova and so cute!

Some of them come in wallpaper....

It's such a cute collection for kids!

Speaking of fabrics....Harbor Theory reached out to me about their fabrics and sent me some samples....check them out below...

Cuteness right?

I also fell in love with this fabric combo...who's in?  Call me and this can be your room....hahaha.

Save me from spending my money on all of these!

The last thing I will leave you with is this....

My friend Pam Sessions [who is Hedgewood Homes] completed the pool at Manchester Homes and I am in love with it.....so I now need these floors on my patio [husband....call the heavy equipment we have earth to move].

We could also throw in an oval window or 2.

It's market week in Atlanta so hopefully I will have pics of all the good stuff I see!
