PROJECT UPDATES

Today I am showing you the rest of the latest project that I have just finished working on with Ladisic Fine Homes.....I showed you the curtain install and the kitchen already.....

This home looks big but actually all the living will happen on the first floor.  There are 3 bedrooms/3 baths upstairs with a small loft over the foyer.

Here are some pics to scroll through while you are drinking your coffee....

When you walk into the foyer from this pretty iron front door you can pretty much see straight through to the back yard and the pool.  There is one living area, a bar, one dining area, powder room, laundry room, kitchen and master bedroom and bath on the first floor.

This pretty Circa lighting sconce lights the way upstairs....

This is the amazing loft upstairs and if this was my house :) I would make this my office!  It gets so much light with all of the windows!

This shot from the top of the loft looking down to the foyer....

This is one of the bathrooms upstairs.  I ordered the vanity from Wayfair and the lights are from Generation Lighting [a division of Circa Lighting]

This is standing in the dining area looking toward the foyer....

And you can see here the iron doors leading to the back yard.....

This is the bar area....

I used a pretty Schumacher grasscloth and painted the cabinets the same as the kitchen island.....Wrought Iron.

There is an ice maker in here along with a column wine cooler.  Lot's of storage for plenty of booze:)

One of my favorite Circa Lighting chandeliers because it is gold and black!  We did a lot of mixing metals in this home!

Here you can see the dining room, kitchen and foyer.

The powder room is chugging along....I am in love with this Schumacher wallpaper....the Serena and Lily mirror and the Native Trails sink.  Still waiting on the un-lacquered brass faucet and light fixture!

A few pictures of the back yard....

And finishing up with the front exterior shots....

I am so happy with how this one turned out....

I had a great time in Athens, Georgia last weekend!  What is better than spending time with family???

The wedding was beautiful....I mean is there an ugly wedding....haha.

All outside so that made it even better and the weather was perfection!

I had to take all my OOTD shots in the lobby bathroom....I'm nothing if not classy....hee haw.

Noticing in this picture that this dress is not very flattering......it's by All Saints and swear I think it did look OK on me but just not in this shot!

It's not available any longer but here are some better  pictures of it!

I bought the purse a while back from Nordstroms [it appears no longer available]

But the shoes.....definitely available..... came from Target!  SO comfy!

I swear it makes me smile when I can get away with 30.00 shoes that don't hurt my feet!

OK kiddos......busy day so I gotta get to the gym.

Y'all are the best....in case I don't tell you often enough:)

KITCHEN DESIGN

FRIDAY....FRIDAY.....FRIDAY

Oh how I love you:)

So let's talk....there were some comments about my pillow choice for the sectional!  Listen I welcome all comments and thoughts for sure.  That is the thing about design....it is very subjective!

Not going to lie.....I'm not really a red person....so of course there was plenty-o-red in that rug!

It was my choice to neutralize it and you will see that there is plenty of red in the main living area adjacent to this room.....with a red rug!

And....I did start out with darker pillows but I changed my mind:)

Also....the coffee table is from Woodbridge furniture.  The console was purchased at Scott's Antique Market.

Today I have a few pictures of the last Ladisic Fine Homes project that I have been working on since February.  Architect was Linda MacArthur.

This house is actually in my neighborhood....so getting to work was pretty easy:)  I shared with you the pictures of the recently installed curtains.

Here are pictures of the kitchen.

You've seen many of these on the "gram" but here they all are together.  The one above was taken standing in the scullery....right past the kitchen is the dining area and that doorway leads into the master bedroom.....

In the main kitchen the cabinets are SW Mindful Gray....yes my new fav color:)

The countertops are white quartz with a small amount of veining in them.

The island is painted Wrought Iron with brushed gold hardware from Emtek.

The sconces and pendants over the island are from Circa Lighting.  The hood is custom.

Leading into the scullery.  I switched it up a little with SW Pure White on the cabinets and Caesarstone raw concrete on the countertops.  Same black Emtek hardware.

The fridge and wall ovens are in there along with a second smaller DW.

Pretty neutral.....and classic.  They closed yesterday and move in today!  So exciting.

I am going to a wedding in Athens, Ga. this weekend...a little nervous about it but the wedding is outside so that is a good thing.

You know what I learned the other day?  To read directions to appliances.....yup.  That there is a filter in my fridge.  Who the hell knew that?

Um....never been changed in 10 years which is not exactly a good thing.  Small leak and some hardwood damage under the fridge but it could have been a lot worse.

Dayum.....owning a house is one darn thing after another.

Okey Dokey......

WINDOW TREATMENTS

Thanks for all the feedback on my recent install....and I know the most asked question is about the carpet.  Well....I wish I could give you the information.  Unfortunately they code the info on the back of the sample so I can't "shop" them....

The best thing you can do is go to a place where they sell carpet and show them the picture.  I am sure you can find the same goods.  It is 100% polyester.

I think someone wanted to know the color of the walls....BM Seapearl.  And the small table is from Currey and Co.  The upholstered furniture is from Charles Stewart and all covered in performance fabric.  The credenzas are from Universal Furniture.

Here I am again trying to crank out a post before I have to leave and walk "queenie".  If I was a better blogger I would do my post at night but hey.....my train of thought is crappy after working all day.

So we will keep it short and tight this AM.....

I have some pictures of window treatments that were installed at my project yesterday.  They haven't closed yet but it will be nice to have privacy on their first night in their new house....

This house is actually in my neighborhood and is another home built by Ladisic Fine Homes.  The architect was Linda MacArthur. 

This is the large window in the master bathroom....but definitely needed some privacy.

And this is the master bedroom

Here is the outside view!

I chose a sheer and we doubled it for privacy.....

This shot was actually taken before they were dressed.....

In the master we are doing a double curtain.  Sheers for the daytime and then blackout for night!

This install took all of 5 hours.....with steaming and dressing them......

The rods are french returns which means they don't have finials and just return into the wall.

 

Since the homes are close in my neighborhood you need some privacy even during the day!

Into the foyer....

Again.....this will block the view of the house next door but still let in light!

These hadn't been steamed yet....but you get the picture:)

And......scene.

Dunzo.  

Happy Halloween!  Some of my best childhood memories are Halloween.  I grew up in Myers Park, Charlotte and my Mom would dress up and decorate our garage like a haunted house and all the neighborhood kids would go through it that night!  This was back when you didn't buy costumes!   My Mom actually made every holiday a production.....long before it was "trendy"....

So long kids....
