Christmas in style with Jill Sharp Brinson

 

I think I am ready now.. I need a little rest but we will be getting our tree this afternoon and decorating the house.  I am a pretty simple holiday decorator...  I love Jill Sharp's home in these pictures from Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.  It is just that natural bit that makes it seem so special.  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend full of holiday parties and decorating...

Kate Spade at home

 

It is so fun to see creative people in their homes.  Kate Spade's home is really fun and whimsical.  I love the use of artwork which seems to make a statement in every space.  The colors are bold and inspiring.

What do you think?

vessel sink obession..

 

 

Well what can I say I love the vessel sinks!  I put one in our guest bath and I have been trying to find something that will work for our master.  I think I may even use the same sink with a different faucet because I am having a hard time finding anything that I like better.  I always forget once a project is done just how many little decisions have to be made to make it complete.  It is always so much harder for me to make decisions about my own house and this little bathroom is not any different!!

Have you found a great vessel sink that you are willing to share??

Here is just a little sneak peek at the accent tile from Walker Zanger that I am using in the shower, I love love it! More to come on that next week...

Master bath dreams..

 

So I have been contemplating for months - what am I going to do with my master bath??  With work being so busy I have been putting off  the planning and I had stopped searching but really we were at the point where it could not wait any longer!  So finally a few weeks ago I found a few hours to work on my bathroom, I took a quick trip to Walker Zanger in search of the perfect tile for the shower as it had been eluding me for months!!!  We have an existing marble floor that we put in just a few years ago and my tastes have changed so much since then so it was hard to decide what I wanted.  

Finally I thought I had it all figured out and when I went to order it today it completely destroyed my budget- back to the drawing board I am afraid.  

The picture above is my dream cabinet, but this also is not in my budget and not in my color scheme thanks to the floor.  I will share our progress as it becomes available, which will be very soon considering my hubby is almost done pulling out all of the old tile and the new tile has to be started next week!

Greige from Dana Wolter

 

When I came across Dana's work on Houzz I was in love!  Her use of texture and color layering makes for the most beautiful spaces and her home is by far my favorite.

Check out her blog and her site here!

Style in the entry

 

I love entryways, they set the stage for the home and welcome owners and guests alike. This is the perfect place to set up a vignette in your home.  It is a little bit show and a little bit useful but should always reflect what you want people to see about your house.  It is like a sneak peek to let them know what to expect once they are invited in.  

These are a few of my favorites!  

La Caze

So we all know how the blog community has opened our eyes to so many wonderful things that we could never have imagined.  I feel so very lucky to have greige connect me in so many ways to a great community of design minded people.  I was so excited when Angela and Renee contacted me while they were in California and I was even more excited to get a chance to meet with them and do my first official interview about greige and My Sparrow.  They are so super sweet and their accents are so fun!!!  

Angela and Renee have created an amazing line of lighting and lanterns that I am loving named La Caze.   They make custom pieces in addition to their standard running line which is fantastic.  Here is a little about the girls and the place that they call home....

When living in South Louisiana, you can find inspiration around every corner. The diversity and history of Louisiana architecture, expansive gardens and timeless elements incorporated into interior design continually inspire us. We met at the ball field when our kids were playing T-ball and were so pleasantly surprised that there was indeed someone else as crazy as we were about interiors, architecture and gardens. From that point on, endless hours were spent in creative endeavors. As a creative outlet, we began designing, building and remodeling every chance we got. As time went on, we became business partners in LaCaze and co-founders of the blog. You never know what wonderful surprises are around the next corner in life. Come along the journey with us as we share our love of interior design and architecture. We hope you enjoy and are inspired, as we take a take a stroll under the Spanish moss. 

It is just so wonderful to see where friendships can take us!

Check out my interview with them on their lovely blog Under Spanish Moss.

Courtney Cox at home with grey

 

I was totally in love with these pictures of Courtney Cox's new home.  The layers of grey are so wonderful and calming.  The modern mix is just perfect.  

It reminds me of this house!
