{ The Dining Room }

finally...

I'm getting closer to a finished dining room.

A larger table is all I need to make this room complete.

I'm loving my new "Chandelier"

{more on that later ~ thanks Sue Whitney}

I can't wait to use this room over the holidays with all the candles lit.

inspiration

i’m completely inspired by this new atlanta home that was featured in this month’s atlanta homes & lifestyles magazine.  the mix of rustic and classic styles is very intriguing.  it keeps me wanting to see more and more.  the website doesn’t have near as many photos as the actual print magazine has so pick it up if you see one in a store.  it’s absolutely stunning in print.

this kitchen is to die for…everything from the urban electric co. lighting to the limed wood backsplash.

the entire home is design at it’s best.

{ The Challenge }

it's a biggie ~ 

I plan to paint all the doors in my house BLACK 

by Halloween, can it be done?

(okay, so that's not really 28 days from now, but it sounds better than 28 doors in 33 days, right?)

it's a house of doors, they're everywhere!

So, I'm off, some are white, some peach, some with door knobs, some with glass.

wish me luck!

this or that

i’m terribly torn.  i waver back and forth all of the time.  sometimes i want this…

i totally can’t make up my mind…and because i’m decorating my own home it’s become a problem.  as a designer i probably shouldn’t admit that i’m having problems decorating my own home, but from what i’ve gathered this is a common problem amongst a lot of designers.

this week i’m leaning more towards this…

{image – lonny}

eclectic style with colorful accents

of course next week it might be more that…

neutral color scheme with rustic and industrial elements

 who knows how everything will really turn out!  maybe it will be a mix of both.
