Let’s take a look at my seven tips for styling round entry tables. When using a round entry table in your foyer or entry, make sure you have at least 24″-36″ ...

Collected Christmas Decor You Can Copy
I promise I won't post anymore Christmas Decor ideas (fingers crossed). The night before last while lying awake visions of sugarplums were dancing in my head. Well not really, but ideas for next year's decor led me down a rabbit hole. I have written about my passion for the collected look and how to get it here, and the search page where you can find all of my related articles here. The same equation can apply to your Christmas decor. Let's take a look at Collected Christmas Decor you Can ...
Black and White Decor- Why It Works
I did a post back in 2014 on black and white and it remains one of my most read posts. I also blogged about painting my windows black here. I admit I am slightly obsessed. Maybe it is my age? I am drawn to a simpler less cluttered look and palette. I rounded up a group of my blogging friends recently and we started a board on black and white decor here. All of us share a love for black and white. Why do we love black and white so much and why does it work? It is ...
A Study in Neutrals- Beth Webb in Traditional Home and Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles
If you have been reading my blog long you know that Beth Webb is probably at the head of my list of favorite designers. I was delighted to see one of Beth Webb's recent projects featured in Traditional Home this month. The entire issue is wonderful but this house under Beth's skillful eye is a stunner. She limewashed all of the walls (three different wood species) creating a textural melange that is a feast for the eye. Another of Beth's gorgeous projects featured ...

An Atlanta native, Amy founded her design firm with her trademark philosophy: “simplifying adds a level of elegance”. Specializing in transitional design, she’s known for sophisticated, traditional interiors with a fresh twist. One of the most pinned earlier projects of Amy’s is the lovely home she ...
Great Regional Magazines…Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Peter Block and Joel Kelly
On the West Coast, we tend to be more focused on National Publications. In the wake of so many of the national shelter magazines disappearing I want to focus on some of the great regional publications. So many are going strong and delivering just as much punch if not more than their national counterparts. My first feature and one of my favorites is Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles. Whenever I receive the most recent issue in my box I am never disappointed. The latest issue features the architect ...
The Ageless Interiors of Barbara Westbrook
Barbara Westbrook when asked to describe her style calls it " effortlessly elegant, comfortably tailored, and always classic”. “I always think of our work as being modern with a dash of the old”. Love the unisex look of this bathroom....the slate floor....soapstone counters... Don’t you love these bottomless clear glass bottle lamps on the console? I love how the art complements the patina of the armoire here I find this room so fresh and calm. Wouldn’t you love to plop down ...
