Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Decorators Showcase House 2013

122

Several weeks ago the ASO Decorators Showcase House kicked off its annual tour. I usually go every year and get such inspiration from all the designers who participate. Here are some of my favorite rooms.

Isn’t this stained glass window gorgeous!

Love the mixture of styles and fabric textures on the chairs in this sitting room.

143

This bedroom is probably my favorite room of them all. Such a soothing soft palette. And it’s painted Revere Pewter, the same color as my house:) I have good taste!

146

I love lucite furniture mixed with soft colors like these creams and greys. It looks so sophisticated and feminine mixed with these soft textiles.

149

Hand painted birds and trees cover the walls in the bedroom.

156

Dream master closet.

157

Scalamandre fabric in this soft pinky coral looks gorgeous with the wall color, Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter.

I love the upholstery on these dining chairs. Simple linen but with tacks and tape on the trim work.

Chinoiserie blue and white.

Hand painted wallpaper on the rear staircase. Stunning!

I need to start collecting coffee table books. I found lots to add to my list!

197

There was so much gorgeous artwork at the house.

These rainbow finches are so pretty! They look painted!

What was your favorite room at the Showcase House this year?

This makes me even more excited about adding to my house. What inspired you?

Madison in May Home & Garden Tour 2013

 

372

 

I apologize for the delayed posts but I officially moved into my new/ old house several weeks ago and started a new job that same week so things have been a little hectic to say the least. I’ve been busy working on ideas and taking lots of pictures to share so I have tons of catching up to do!

First off Mom and I had a nice little weekend getaway in Madison the weekend of the Madison in May home and garden tour, one of my dearest friends got married in Madison that weekend too! Perfect timing :)

Mom and I started going to Madison for the home tours last year after a bed and breakfast weekend at Madison Oaks and I’m so glad we found this precious little town not far from metro Atlanta where there is always something fun to see and do. I’m always inspired when I come away from this town and now that I have a home of my own I can actually start utilizing some of these inspirational ideas and photographs.

Dinner at Tequila Express CafĂ© delicious! The name is deceiving though, it’s mostly Greek food. So good! Since we went it has moved across the street and changed names to Ricardo’s Kuzzina. We’ll definitely be back!

Saturday was wedding day! The ceremony and reception was held at horse farm Champion Oak Farm. Despite the soggy weather it was such fun getting to watch my friends marry and spend some time with them before they headed off for their honeymoon. Congrats guys!

Who else went on the Madison in May tour this year? What inspiration did you walk away with?

Have a bright day,
