Palm Beach Coastal - Living Room
Monday, March 10, 2014
I'm playing with Polyvore today! I just spent some time and put together this Preppy Palm Beach Living Room decor for Linda at Calling It Home's blog Polyvore contest. I truly appreciate Linda having this contest because it helped motivate me to learn how to use Polyvore. It's a fantastic tool and will enable me to show all of my client's mood boards for their projects.
Hmm.....I happen to love this room! Preppy, cheerful and pink! All of my favorite colors! Wish I had a small pied-a-terre near the beach to decorate! Anyone on the coast need an interior designer? I'd love to help you!!
Blackland Road Living Room concept
Monday, March 3, 2014
Wow! It's been a long while since I last blogged!
Please pardon me while I dust off my keyboard to start writing again - (and what kills me is that I deliberately accepted Linda's Calling It Home One Room Challenge last summer to force myself to write more).
But, I have some good news! Over at The Pink Pagoda it's the March: Blue & White Bash! So, I thought I'd take a page (again) from Linda at Calling It Home and learn how to do Polyvore this morning. There are a few quirks that I couldn't iron out - but, overall, it was super-silly easy to learn. And, I love it! Look at the concept board I created. And, it just happens to be blue and white! So, I may take this baby and link up to the Blue & White Bash! Come join me - it'll be loads of fun!
Happy Birthday Kendall!!

Hump Day Happiness!

Happiness is HOMEGOODS!
I'm creating an office for myself in our basement. It's a bit of a challenge - for many reasons:
1. our basement is one of those scary, partially unfinished basements! Dark and murky with no light.
2. the room that I've designated as my "office" has few electrical outlets, peeling plaster walls, and a hideous dark green wall-to-wall carpet. It also has a ceiling fan/light combination (REALLY special when you're trying to work on a client's color scheme!)
3. lastly, most importantly, I have very little funds to make this space look AB FAB!
So - where does one go when one has limited funds - well - HomeGoods, of course!
I scoured all of metro Atlanta to look for the perfect pair of HomeGoods lamps for my office. I found lots of great lamps and all of them were really well-priced. Here are a few of my favorites.
Do you have a favorite?
I, especially, loved these owl lamps - so charming! I'm not normally an owl lover - but, they just spoke (or hooted) to me!
Anyhoot...I foudn and bought a gorgeously affordable crystal column lamp that had my name all over it. But, sadly, there was no match to be found (despite spending needless hours traveling all of metro Atlanta to find its match.
BUT, while on my quest, I found many other HomeGoods goodies!

Loved the texture on these two white lamps. The one on the right was perfect for a beach house.
The blue/white combination of these bamboo lamps with acrylic bases caught my eye....

These smaller scale mirrors would be great in an Entry or Powder Room.
This circular rope mirror would look great in a beach house or a teen girl's room!
Thought this might be nice in my son's nautically-inspired room.
Faux rustic painted board mirror. So many places to hang this baby!
Maybe a beach or mountain house, boys or girls room...I was thinking our playroom...
And, HomeGoods always has a great selection of well-priced baskets.
Happy Shopping!
