It’s not exactly an every day craving, but seriously? Doesn’t this make you ache for fresh squeezed orange juice, a camel ride, and a bustling New York intersection? The Spring collection from Kate Spade is making me simultaneously crave Morocco and New York! It’s pure genius and since I’ve already e-mailed a link…
Whoa. Joanna Gaines Magnolia Pier 1 Collection
Oh, yeah. You read that right. Joanna Gaines Magnolia Pier 1 Collection. It’s really happening. Our favorite Fixer Upper has now made her products readily available to more adoring fans. I mean, not that any of us Wacophiles wouldn’t love to visit THE Magnolia shop. But sometimes life gets in the way….
If Nature and Minimalism Had a Baby :: Raw Simplicity
I’ve never jumped off a cliff before. I consider myself to be a calculated risk taker. And somehow cliffs never factored in to that. But last year we took the leap of a lifetime and rather than plunging into a new foreign adventure, which was our norm, we landed in the US….
14 Reasons You Will Say “Navy Blue Bathroom!”
A Navy Bathroom? Really? That was two of my clients’ responses last week. Both wanted something more dramatic and even though they had two completely different spaces, Navy Blue was the only obvious choice for each of their spaces. Bright window light helps, though it definitely isn’t necessary because who doesn’t…
Paint A House PURPLE? Would You?
Not everyone lives in a neighborhood where painting a house purple is an option, but my good friend, Robyn (we went to school together here in Marietta!), and her lovely family hit the jackpot. They found a gorgeous neighborhood that is not only walkable and allows for quick commutes, but has tons…
The Living Room Makeover :: BEFORE and AFTER!
We’ve been working hard to transform our living room. It is the center point of the entire house and more like a gigantic hallway than a room, so it just felt like it needed attention. A living room makeover is always fun because it really doesn’t take a lot to make a…
Mrs. Scarlet In the Conservatory With the Lead Pipe
While the lack of a smoking gun and the peculiar Mrs. Peacock might make these spaces infinitely less interesting, a Conservatory is a far underrated space. While the screened in porch is mighty fiiine (southern drawl a necessary inclusion when speaking of porches here in the south), the conservatory takes it up one…
Mid Century Modern Is Making a Comeback?
When several people excitedly e-mail me links to the Gaines’ latest remodel, something must be up. You’d either be living under a rock or outside the US to avoid hearing about the growing empire of the shiplap obsessed, Farmhouse Chic movement being led by Chip and Joanna Gaines who flip houses…
The Positive Effects of Age… Really!
Aging with grace? Positive Effects of Age? Have I lost my mind? Clearly I am on the brink of a mid life crisis! Or am I? Ok, maybe a little bit of both, but I am SO into old. Not men. Just stuff. Hopefully that wasn’t necessary to clarify, but just in…
How to :: Create Dream Garden
People fall in love with finished products all the time. If a house is perfectly move in ready, it sells fast. Not everyone has the vision for taking a 5 acre lot, even if it is situated on the banks of the Chattahoochee River on the northern outskirts of Atlanta, and…

By George, I think We’ve Got It. The Vintage Bathroom…
Just when I started to think we would never be able to decide what to do to the master bathroom, we finally did it. We simply could not agree on what we wanted. He wanted light walls. I wanted dark. He wanted white subway tile. I wanted taupe. We would find a…
