a big day–Woman’s Day

Anisa and her family are preparing for a huge day tomorrow!  Woman’s Day is coming to shoot her home for their November issue.  Can you believe having an almost four-month-old and you are preparing for a film crew to shoot your entire family & your home?  I mean, it is one thing to get your home ready, but another thing altogether to get clean & appropriately-colored clothes for the shoot (they do tell you what color palette they would prefer you to be dressed in).

She has painted another original landscape to add some color to her open shelving (below) and well as added some stripes to the windows.

We laughed because she said, “You know, I need some color in my kitchen so I think I’m going to get those gray & white striped panels.”

I wrote back, “I love you.  I love that adding gray into your home means adding color.”

Yep, we love some neutrals.

 

You can bet the stylist Liz Demos will be adding more color in!  She is so good.  She’s a southern gal and you have seen her work before for sure!

Here she is, and following is her own home as featured in Design*Sponge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And her work in Southern Living and Seleta’s home….

 

 

 

 

And they are flying in west coast photographer Davis Tsay.  So good.  Some of my favorites from his portfolio follows….

 

 

(I post this about every day.)

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you, Lisa Mowry, for sending in Anisa’s home.

If any of you are wanting to be published, I recommend sending her your work.  It is no luck that we have been published.  We send her about everything (and you have to be okay with a lot being rejected).  Just keep working, taking good photos, and keep sending in.  You have to put yourself out there.

 

Can’t wait to see what they create in few months.  You know we’ll be sharing.

xo,

Julie

 

a perfect bathroom & vintage furniture

Okay, I won’t spoil the entire issue for you (House Beautiful July/ August 2012), but I gasped at Erin Martin‘s design and have to share.  Is it not perfection?

 

the stripes, brass, gloss tongue-and-groove ceiling, stripes, shall I go on?

 

I am a fan of this California designer’s work.  Here is a taste:

 

 

 

 

Some of her vintage finds for sale on 1st Dibs:

 

 

 

My family is selling some vintage furniture, too–perhaps they can look as cool as Erin’s if you have a vision.

Our Aunt Belle passed away earlier this year, and her daughter is having an estate sale later this month.  I thought I would give y’all 1st dibs–there is a lot more, just email us if you are interested.  Her home is in Grant Park in Atlanta.  She lived there forever–before it was hip :)

These items are from late ’50s & early ’60s.

 

 

 

 

4 with arms, 4 without

 

booths are vinyl, table has iron base

 

There is a ton more (Aunt Belle was a major pack rat)–waterford crystal, boho purses still with tags and stuffing inside!, vintage paintings, counter stools, etc.  If you love finds like this, we may have something for you!

our booth will be full of new (old) stuff this week–

Julie
