ATLANTA HOLIDAY HOME 2023

Well lets see if I can keep this up....2 post in November and now it's early December so there is still a chance of getting a few more post together:)

So the finger.....I can tell you that the other 4 fingers are mad at having to do all of the work.  It is still very swollen but they said to go see a specialist to get the stitches taken out and if they won't do it...then come back to the ER.

OK...first of all I am not going back to the ER and taking a chance of another 3-4 hour wait.  Nope.  And when she said go see a specialist but if they won't take them out...I am like HUH????

So basically it's like I sold you a couch but you have to figure out how to get it to your house.  Bad business model I think.

Anyway long story short I watched a YOU TUBE video and I feel like I am certified now.  

Last night I roped my friend into helping me...which was shocking since her sister and best friend are both doctors so I feel like she should know better.

Apparently she doesn't and after 15 minutes they were all out.  Except for one that I found this morning which I plucked out myself.

OK...lets move on to the Atlanta Holiday Home Showhouse.

Paint colors here

Usually I get to preview it but I had an appointment that I could not change so that didn't happen....

I wrangled Rose into going with me on Sunday [ it was packed...like a million people] but it is only open until the 10th so time was running out.

Let me give you the quick scoop.....Architect was Castro Design Studio [who I have worked with before and he is amazing!]

The builder was Pradera Group and my friend Kit Castaldo was responsible for tile selections, kitchen design etc. 

 Above was a space my friend Erika Ward Interiors did using art from Wendell Dobson [another friend!]

More from Erika!

Kit did this space off the kitchen area....

The talented Barbara Westbrook was responsible for the family room which I loved!

How about this trim....

It was hard to get a picture of the kitchen cause there always seemed to be somebody in the way!

This was the bar area.....

THE ATLANTA HOLIDAY SHOWHOUSE

OK....where did we leave off...a few people have emailed me that they aren't receiving my blog...so I am not sure if it's because I have not been blogging much of if "blogger" has changed something and I don't know about it?

Is "blogger" still a thing?

Do people still use it?

Help a sister out.....:)

It has been a busy month.  My car wouldn't start and when you are single...well that is just a bummer because it's not like there is another car in the driveway to use!  So I got a jump from my neighbor and took it to the Ford dealership and then had to go across the street and rent a car for 4 days.  Yeah....

Turns out that I got a crappy battery from the Tires Plus up the street where I live [hey it's convenient] and it lasted about a year and a half.

It took Ford a few days to figure that out....um?  WTH?  

Meanwhile "tick tock" meter is running with Enterprise....so a 180.00 battery actually cost me close to 500.00.

OK....that sucked.

Alrighty then....there were so many showhouses during the holidays.  I shared the Flower Magazine on with you and then after that one The Holiday House was going on.  So grab a coffee or some wine and take a gander!

This was the powder room off the garage and even though I am not much of a color girl....this caught my eye!

Amber Guyton

This was actually in the scullery which she did also!  Loved the color of the cabinets and the ceiling wallpaper!

Next up was the kitchen....which was pretty!  I love the big window behind the range...you would always have something nice to look at!

Lauren Davenport

This kitchen dining area had me with that custom bench!

One of my favorite rooms was the office.  I love the oversized wallpaper and blush colors!

Jessica Bradley

The living room was perfection with that large piece of art behind the sofa!

Janie Wilburn

If you want drama and elegance the dining room was all of that!

The ceilings were so pretty!

Lauren Deloach

The amazing fabric from [I think] Cowtan and Tout was epic!

At the top of the stairs was some good modern and I was there for it!

Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters

A new designer from Nashville gave me all the feels with mostly white and a splash  of green.....

Evan Millard

My friend Chris Holt who owns Noah J and Co pulled it together with some great green and soft blue

There was a huge basement/man-cave situation!

So I still have another showhouse to share with you....the House Beautiful Whole Home which was in Atlanta again this year.  

And.....I have 3 installs to share with you!

I am sure you guys are all decorated and ready for Christmas....I did manage to put up a red ribbon on each of my porch lights.  It just isn't the same to decorate when it's only you....but that's OK....I would probably complain about it anyway:)
