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.....

PROJECT UPDATE

Well well.....the southern team has spoken!  And it was something I had not thought of....so thanks!

Too much white for the pre-wedding festivities....what was I thinking?  

WHERE ARE MY MANNERS!

Any way I have revamped a few outfits even though I spoke with my niece and she was cool....please don't let it be said I have bad taste:)

And yes nude or a matte gold shoe was hands down the vote.  I actually have some but might look around for something new.....cause you know...a new dress and new shoes goes together like Ken and Barbie.

Today I have a few images of a project I have been working on.

This house has been finished for a couple of years...although not completely....meaning we have been slowly decorating it!

The architect was Castro Design Studio and I love all of the special touches he came up with like this iron fence around the porch!

We finally got a dining room rug which was not easy...the room is square and nothing was looking right until we found this 12 x 12!

It warmed up the space so much.....

It looks out onto the back porch with these great iron doors.

She had a "girls night out" last night and I love this wooden piece she picked up!

Cool huh!

The food was so good!

Here is a few pictures from around the joint!

I really love how the backsplash turned out!

And this brass strip on top of the cabinets.

The wallpaper in the bathroom has a slight shimmer to it which you can't really see in these pictures.

She served this and it was so good!

So that is that....in other news I have a client having a party so I have been busy getting some things finished up but more on that next week!!

Yesterday I fasted for 24 hours....that was not easy folks cause around the 20th hour I got pretty crabby.  You are gonna think I am certifiably crazy but I decided to do the Faster Way To Weight Loss.  

Y'all that is a complicated diet.  Between you and me I can't really figure it out and I will say that WW is much easier.  You only have to be able to count to 23 [that was my limit].  Plus I have lost only 2 pounds in almost 4 weeks.  With WW I was losing at least 1.5 pounds a week.

I have 2 weeks left and then I will give you the full scoop.
