I'm Still Around!

Hey there!  I'm still around!  I've just been a little tied up trying to complete the Room Service Atlanta project, benefiting the United Methodist Children's Home.  I've been working diligently for the past couple of weeks trying to get the finishes just right.  This week is installation and I'm busy putting the finishing touches on everything; so I'll see you guys back here in a little bit!

 

 

 

...or I'm in the throws of putting out more pressing fires!

With A Man In Mind: A Gentleman's Dressing Room

Today I am featuring the Gentleman's Dressing Room from the Traditional Home Show House at the Adamsleigh Estate in Greensboro, NC that I toured while at High Point Market.  This dressing area was thoughtfully designed by Lisa Mende and Traci Zeller, both based in Charlotte, NC.  The wall covering was a special design tribute to John Hampton (Hamp) Adams, textile magnate and patriarch of Adamsleigh.  It is an architectural toile, designed from the original blueprints of the home.

 

 

The fabric that is covering the ceiling is also found on the back of the shelves in the closet.  This was also a very fitting tribute to "the mansion that socks built!"

 

The green grosgrain ribbon detail can be found in elements throughout the space.  It is finely placed around the chair and one of the pillows, as wells as surrounding the walls and ceilings.  For details on how this was executed, click here.

 

I would like to think that my husbands closet would be as nice and styled as this one; but alas, I'm afraid that it just would not be!  However, one can always attend show houses and dream!

Teal, Turquoise, or Cosmic Blue...

Okay, so I mentioned briefly yesterday about my blue moment when the first coat of paint went onto the walls in the boys lounge at the RSA (Room Service Atlanta) project on Sunday.  Well, I go on Pinterest and guess what I see so many pins of?  You guessed it...teal, turquoise, peacock, etc., etc.  Glidden paints, the wonderful donors of the entire project, calls the one that I chose Cosmic Blue.  It is electric, and when trimmed with Extremely White, it almost vibrates off of the walls!  I did say I wanted a room filled with energy!  Well Baby, just call me Georgia Power!!!
