1. House of the Week, October 29

I guess you all like white clapboard houses as much as I do! Here's to more gorgeous houses featured on Whitehaven in 2013.

Merry Christmas from Atlanta!

May you be blessed

With the spirit of the season, which is peace,

The gladness of the season, which is hope,

And the heart of the season, which is love.

Gorgeous Christmas Decorations!

Architectural Digest calls Miles Redd “the spiritual heir to high-society tastemakers of the 1930s and ’40s.” Miles is known for his quirky brand of cozy glamour. His unique aesthetic vision is characterized by playful mélanges of high and low, invigorated with whimsical splashes of color and modern gestures. His trademark approach to design has brought to life rooms infused with boldness, fantasy and sophistication. Miles’ new book, The Big Book of Chic, published by Assouline (Fall 2012), is a lavishly illustrated volume that will be an inspiration to anyone interested in spirited, eclectic design.

Christmas Garland

This year, I'm going to hang garland over the inside of my front door. I have had this photo saved for a couple of years and it's my inspiration. The last time I tried this project I couldn't find the right garland. This time I found the perfect garland for the spot , and it is sitting in my entrance hall now! Can't wait to see how it turns out. We are putting our tree in a new location and I think the garland will look beautiful with all of the other decorations. Will post pictures once it's complete.
