CATCHING UP




I feel so bad leaving you guys hanging....I jumped back on Instagram because I really don't have to engage...but blogging is different.


It's been a little over a month and I am still struggling with overwhelming sadness.  I am haunted [as I knew I would be] with the visual of her last 2 days.  It was gut wrenching and not a good thing for an "empath" to experience.

Which is causing my nightmares at night and not being able to sleep.

I know I am not the only one who has experienced the loss of a loved one.....and my heart breaks for all of you that share this kind of heartbreak with me.

I miss her so darn much....everyday when I walk Cami around the block I go past her house and it  brings me to tears.  She was so amazing and about 400 people came to her funeral which blew me away....so many people telling me how she changed their life.

She was also the peace keeper in the family....never taking sides with anyone.  

So....I have gone back to work although I am definitely not running at 100%.  I will try to catch you up with some of my projects!

The first one I will share is one that I have been working on for quite a while....she is the most patient client I have....for real.  I have also know her for over 20 years.....


This is her foyer and we got the rug a while back....then I brought in 2 of her DR chairs to extend the chest because it was too lonely.....



I sent her pictures of a lot of mirrors similar to the one we ended up with and  she was sending me mirrors that she liked but they were too modern.  I felt that with the chest having a modern feel I wanted something a little more "blingy" if you know what I mean....


She actually found the mirror and and picked out some art that she liked so I went over and got it all hung for her....



We added the crystal lamp and I remade 2 of her pillows smaller for the chairs....


I don't know about you but dang that antique mirror just makes it!  All art and the mirror were from Huff Harrington....a beautiful store here in Buckhead.

I am going to try and get back on a regular routine....but I have to tell you sometimes I feel this heaviness that does prevent me for engaging.

Also....thank all of you so much for the sweet comments...I read them all and was so comforted.

SCOTT'S ANTIQUE MARKET





Hey kids.....checking in to chat about what has been going on around here!

First of all....newsflash.....Rose and I went to Scott's for the first time in quite a few months.  I always forget how fun it is and I did pick up a few things for a client so it was well worth the trip!

Took a few pictures of some of my favorite things so for your enjoyment.....


I picked this up for a client...sometimes you just need something green.....that you don't have to worry about right!





This booth had 3 tables of vintage pottery in all colors....I just wanted to scoop them up and run.



Pretty linen dishtowels....





I do love some black and white botanicals right!


This darn chest....whoa mama.


Pretty "sea scape" with all that coral.




Love some modern art in vintage frames....how about you?


And....not much I like more than a vintage stool like this!


Nice midcentury chest!





Some pretty planters





And I was in love with this pretty arrangement!



This was the find of the day!  A vintage rattan day bed.  Lord....Rose and I hovered around it for 15 min just trying to think of a client who could use it....



What is better than and old basket with greenery....I say nothing!


Don't get me wrong I did buy a few things....
And I have big plans for all of it!

In other news I am making one of my guest rooms into a designer staging area.  I am SICK of it all being in my living room.  There are always boxes and fabric rolls hanging around so I need a place to handle all that.  And....when I shop for installs....it's craziness.

Before I do that I had to do a little construction first.  These plaster walls were a mess [my house was built in 1946]  with peeling paint and cracks all over and I was tired of repairing.



Real life here.....


And we added insulation as there was none!  That's a little game changer.

Listen.... just empty out a room and you will be amazed at how much stuff you have.  PLUS...there was a bed in there..... 2 nightstands and a chest!



OK....so maybe a few pillows too.  I mean....I guess I have some "splaining" to do.....

New drywall and paint....

So bye bye to the bed and nightstands.  Hello to a room lined with metal shelves and complete organization.  I am giddy with the thought of it all!

I will keep you posted on this situation.

Stay tune for stories on Instagram today as I am over at my townhouse project doing a little installing.....

Have a great weekend!
