From Blueprints to Footprints

When you’re planning the design of your dream home, there’s nothing better than when your dream becomes reality and you walk into your home for the first time. After months of planning (and dreaming of move-in day) it’s a monumental occasion. StyleBlueprint recently featured a special client of ours who purchased a beautiful lot in Sandy Springs. StyleBlueprint shared their journey of making their dream home a dream come true.

We had a fabulous time working with this family in selecting the finishes and details, large and small, that blend southern hospitality with sophisticated style.

Modern and Fresh Fall Home Tour

Screen Shot 2013-10-24 at 8.51.34 PM

When Kristen and Lindsay contacted me about this fall home tour, I was thrilled.  Fall is one of my favorite times of year.  Crisp mornings, apple cider and cinnamon anything.  I’m not a huge holiday decorator.  It is one of the busiest times of the year for my interior design business and often times my home gets very little attention.  But this year was different.  Why?

Because of these two.  This picture was taken at our local pumpkin patch where we have bought pumpkins for the past 9 years.  (Yes, since my oldest was only 1 year old.)  They loaded up pumpkins in all shapes, colors and sizes.

Here is what we ended up with.  Ok, I helped a bit with the presentation, but Eric and the girls handled all the carving!

This is one of my favorite additions to our fall decor.  The vine is left over from summer.  Stack up the pumpkins and you’re done!  My kind of holiday decor!

Don’t you love the big teeth and tongue?  After it was done, my first thought was of Miley Cyrus, but to my girls she is still Hannah Montana, so I kept my comment to myself.  Ha ha!

These fun ghosts are a great addition for Halloween and once the holiday is over, I can just pull them out and these pots will be perfect through winter.

I keep things simple inside.  Fall’s colors work well with my home’s color palette.  I added a few gourds to one of my favorite bowls here.  I love the fact that I can keep this out through Thanksgiving.

Love this cozy spot in our kitchen.  It’s still too warm for a fire, but it won’t be long…  By the way, check out next week’s post and see what happens with that orange bowl on the table.  Doesn’t it look like it’s missing something?  I’ve finally figured out what to do with it and I’ll be posting about it next week!

Simple Happy Halloween blocks and pumpkins add just enough of that holiday flair.
