One of my followers alerted me to the real estate listing for the home of Ann and Sid Mashburn in Atlanta that just sold. Ann talked about the reason for the move in her “You Need This…I Promise” posts on the Ann Mashburn website. Two of their daughters have a rare degenerative neurological disease and […]

I came across the work of designer Robert Brown on Pinterest recently and fell in love with this bedroom suite. I love how the large room has become intimate with distinct areas for sleeping, sitting, and working. It’s also great inspiration for how to set up a large studio apartment. Needless to say, I also […]

I was looking for holiday images when I came across photos of Christmas at Swan House.  Some show the gorgeous decorations that Dan Carithers created that were featured in an old issue of Southern Accents and some are new. They are all spectacular and make me want to book a trip to Atlanta asap. Since […]

While I loved Ann Mashburn in Atlanta, I kind of wanted to move into Sid Mashburn and marry their handsome salesman Randall. It’s a mecca for menswear and impeccable custom suiting.  The tailors are on site to cater to your sartorial pleasure and couldn’t be sweeter.  If you’re a Southern gentleman or even a Yankee, […]

Also top on my list to visit in Atlanta were visiting the Ann Mashburn and Sid Mashburn stores.  I had heard so much about them that I couldn’t wait to check them out for myself.  I can definitely say that they don’t disappoint.  The men’s store Sid Mashburn opened first in 2007 and it took some […]

I am embarrassed to say that I had never been to Atlanta, Georgia before Americas Mart invited me down to speak.  I took the opportunity to stay the weekend and see some sights.  At the top was stopping by the store Pieces.  I shopped from them online for my bachelor pad project in 2008 and […]

I am off to Atlanta this weekend to attend the Atlanta Market and to speak on a great panel at AmericasMart.  Maxwell Gilingham-Ryan of Apartment Therapy, Christiane Lemieux of DwellStudio and I will be discussing Daily Design: How the Everyday Inspirations from Blogs Change the Industry on Saturday, January 14 from 3:00-4:00pm in Building 1, Floor […]

I stayed out a little too late last night and had a little too much fun. Now I wish I could spend the day recovering on a lounge chair in this gorgeous garden that belongs to Atlanta designer Robert Norris. I think anyone would feel better after spending time in it! Bon Weekend! Photos by […]

I have no doubt that if Domino was still around, they would name Atlanta interior designer Courtney Giles one of their designers to watch! You may remember Courtney from her feature in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and on Brilliant Asylum‘s chic blog and she just launched her new website, Courtney Giles Interiors, where you can […]

One interior designer who I think has a great eye for art is Atlanta based Suzanne Kasler. I’ve always admired her work but have surprisingly never profiled her on the blog. Her style is definitely traditional but never stuffy and I think sometimes that might be due to the modern abstract art that either she […]
