MASTER BEDROOM INSPIRATION

One of our latest little projects is a master bedroom for a sweet couple in Atlanta. They like vibrant colors and want to keep their existing furniture. Since the headboard is really short, we decided to use fabric to bring some height to the space. 

Here is some of our inspiration for the drape....

We love the bedding on this one....

 

Bedding available at Leontine Linens

Draping behind a bed is also a great solution when a room has a lot of windows! It allows you to create a beautiful backdrop for the bed and no one will ever know that you blocked a window. 

Insider tip: You MUST use blackout lined drapery or sun will shine through and ruin the secret!

In the bedroom below, there is a set of french doors behind the bed. Since there was plenty of daylight coming into the room through 2 other sets of doors, draping off the wall was the perfect solution! And it adds texture and softness creating a very peaceful master bedroom.

SNOWED IN & GETTING INSPIRED

It's a snowy, icy day here in Atlanta so we are working from home yet again. Extra thankful for warm houses and stocked pantries!! And crossing our fingers in hopes that the power stays on! 

All this cold weather can't help but make us think about snuggling by a warm fire. We adore beautiful fireplaces and want to share some of our favorite designs with you.

This traditional style mantle is made more modern by painting it the same
color as the wall and adding a dark surround. I love how the detail of
the trim stands out even though it is the same shade as the walls!

Stone fireplaces are a huge trend right now and we are not complaining!
Its detailed yet simple style complements the herringbone tile perfectly. 

If you're looking for a great looking stone fireplace, check out Francois & Co. It is one of  our favorite resources!

This greige and black combination has such classic lines in a modern color scheme.  

"Refined Rustic" is one of our favorite styles right now.
Crisp, cream walls and dark wood beams are a lovely combination.

Scale makes such a difference when it comes to design.
This mammoth mantle is not right for every space but it is the perfect
complement to this room with beautiful vaulted ceilings. 

I mean... Does it get much more perfect than this??
This picturesque design by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects
is one of my favorite outdoor fireplaces. 

Here is a fireplace design we recently completed: 

With detailed moulding on the ceiling and walls, its nice to keep
the fireplace simple. Strong veining in the marble surround
allows it to hold its own ground against the rest of the detailed design. 

Hope all of you are surviving the storm and staying warm next to a beautiful fireplace!  

CATHEDRAL ANTIQUES SHOW :: INSTALL PHOTOS

I don't know about y'all.... But I'm pretty thankful last week is over! Here in Atlanta we survived a snowstorm that caused major traffic issues. As if we didn't have enough of that already!!

As the snowflakes started falling, we were right in the middle of installing our display at the Cathedral's Antiques Show. Not the best timing in the world. After two days being cancelled, we were finally able to put the finishing touches on our showroom. So thankful that it all worked out and the show was able to go on!

If you missed our last post, you can read about our inspiration here. 
This is the photo that inspired it all: 

Here are some photos of the finished product: "Annie Oakley's Outdoor Life"
(Please excuse the poor quality of my iPhone pics.)

 
We laid down tarps and covered them with sand and pea-gravel to offer the full experience of being out West.   
 

Jack from Chuck's Firearms very generously loaned us all of the antique gun memorabilia including his personal Winchester .22 rifle. We were thrilled to have such beautiful and accurate pieces on display! 

 

 

  

  

Many, many thanks to the wonderful vendors who let us borrow their beautiful antiques for the show: 14th Street Antiques Market, Brooks and Black Fine Art and Framing, Chuck's Firearms, E. Lawrence, Edgar Reeves, Erika Reade, The Nicholson Gallery, Moattar, and Robuck.

And a big shout out to our talented florist, John Grady Burns of Flora for his beautiful floral and succulent arrangements! 

Let us know what you think about our take of Annie Oakley's Outdoor Life! We hope you enjoyed taking a step back in time.
