Day Trip to Mount Laurel

Southern Living Magazine ad about Mount Laurel

Southern Living Magazine ad about Mount Laurel

We toured the Southern Living Idea House, Celebration Cottage, and my favorite room was the dining room, designed by Margaret Kirkland. In a recent interview about Margaret Kirkland she stated that one of her greatest pleasures as a designer is to go hunting in a clients storage room for old treasures to give them new life. I felt like this is one of the most relatable aspects of her design talent.

I absolutely love all of the textures and patterns she used in her design.

The idea that Kirkland uses the mixed media not only with her texture and patterns but also with her collaboration of history and modern sophistication just made my heart happy when I walked into this glorious room!

The large Sally King Benedict abstract face paintings were such fun and made me so glad to own a Sally King Benedict piece of art myself!

The palms trees were amazing by Lindroth Design.

We loved seeing our friends at Stray Dog Designs!!! Hi Billy! The Andrea Pendant and Marrakesh Mirror were featured in the house!

There was so much going on in this room, but it worked!  Thanks for the personal tour with Katheryn Lott, Kristen Bryan, and Ray Jackson. These folks are the epitome of southern hospitality!

Ice Cream & Marshmallows

 

Do your kids love ice cream as much as mine do? Sweet kids & beautiful messes go hand in hand! To avoid ice cream dripping from the bottom of the sugar or waffle cone onto their clothes…

try putting a marshmallow inside the bottom of the cone & then add the ice cream to avoid crazy spills!!

Enjoy!

Head Over (High) Heels

Artwork by Michelle Armas


Go for it!  Mix scales and colors and pattern with abandon— just go for it!  Who wants to play it safe these days? It all works if you love it!

Color creates style by the emotion it gives off and is a powerful tool to quickly bring your space together!

Side note: I love this painting (background of quote) by Michelle Armas!! I bought this piece of original art at the Gregg Irby Gallery in Buckhead. As soon as I walked through the door, I saw it and said:

I’m taking this one!!! Load it into my minivan. I don’t know how you will make it fit, but I just love it!!

Since then, I have purchased several of her pieces. She is such a talented artist. Click here to see her work.

Love,

Pink Paint

HOT PINK

Sherwin Williams- HOT SW6843

I love this color!  And what a fun name Hot  I would love to be a nail polish namer or paint color namer…

Designer Laura Burbrink kept it clean but in an updated palette. This house is very proper and serious on the outside; inside, its sunny! -Lucy Jones

 

We were hired to brand Old Town, a Southern Living inspired community, and we named all the house plans after silver patterns, and a few pieces of silver on the table enhance the feel of Southern hospitality. The timeless elegance and old world sophistication sterling silver brings to the table and the home is unlike other, and each pattern comes with a story.

The fairfax was a model home at Old Town designed by Laura Burbrink, and my favorite room of course was the one with the hot pink wall! Sherwin Williams SW6843 Hot

 

Fairfax
1910 • fair·fax / fair-faks
Gorham is one of the oldest and best loved American manufacturers of sterling silver. Its long history stretches all the wayfrom it’s beginnings as a small silversmith’s shop in Providence, Rhode Island in the early 1800’s, to the present time. The more you use it the prettier it becomes!

Crazy Facts

Fun facts I’ve found along the way!!

Adult cats meow at people to get what they want, but not at other cats.

Cats can see better than dogs, but dogs can smell better than cats.

53% of the canine population is made up of mutts!  Send us a picture of your favorite mutts!
