Last night Anisa and I had the honor of viewing Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles High Style Tour. The designers worked their magic on the 18th and 19th floors of the W Hotel Atlanta (downtown). Please click on the link above to buy tickets ($20 each) and learn more about the designers and their portfolios. Proceeds go to Atlanta’s High Museum of Art!
Of course, my iPhone pics don’t nearly do the spaces justice–I do hope you can check them out in-person.
Can we start with my favorite condo? I guess we can since I’m writing.
Barbara Westbrook. So amazingly talented. I wish I had a picture of her!! She was wearing a black leather cocktail dress (A-frame, knee-length) with leopard heels. Okay, this outfit can go many ways in your imagination, but it was so chic, tailored, minimal! She knows how to edit.
My favorite thing of the night–this little ensemble here. Her sponsor is Room & Board.
I find her to be a great stylist, too.
picture lights as bathroom lighting–genius.
Second favorite setup of the night? This beat up, metal vintage goldenrod table multi-purposed as a desk & bar–She is so good with the mix! Wire stool, upholstered seat, glass lamp, linen shade, metal desk. Lovely!!
Her man cave was clean, warm, vibrant, fun, thoughtful–just so impressed.
Next, MG + BW sponsored Bill Peace’s condo. Okay, we didn’t take many pictures because we were talking with our buds 
Check out the art–made with thumbprints!!
The theme in his space was black & white, so MG + BW’s new lacquered stumps fit perfectly. I love these.
Michel Ward for Bradley Hughes had living art in his bathroom. Yes, live moss on the wall!! Love the table lamp, too.
He, as well as Amy Morris, used narrow horizontal stripes. Those things just happen.
the cutest pregnant woman ever
Bold choice to paint on the ceiling, too!
Anisa was really blown away with Susan Ferrier’s design (Ryan Hughes sponsor). The way her mind works and how she arranges furniture is so innovative. The art is covering an unattractive jut-out. She said there was no other choice than to cover it!
Dig the wood artifact hanging in front of the floor mirror.
And, helloooo, welcome to Kerry Howard’s fun & bright condo!
I believe he designed a modern-day Tara (you have to go to see a huge Scarlet O’Hara on the wall).
How cheerful is this bathroom?!
And, finally, here is a peek at Amy Morris’ place…
striped entry with brass accents
lush fabrics, jewel tones, tons of unique lighting
What a glamorous bedroom!
We really had such a fun night. If you go, plan to eat at BLT Steak in the bottom of the W when you finish the tour.
Us country girls were happy with our cow butter. And the warm popovers that accompanied was about the best I’ve ever had.
Have a great weekend
