House of Fifty, Boxwoods, and a little HGTV show called Donna Decorated Dallas......

OK...first let's start with the new issue of House of Fifty.


Baby it is live, as I am sure you all know!  And the cover had me at "modern country".....that photo is stunning.  Congratulations to Janell and her team because they are working it so right.....

Next up I have a few pictures/ideas from a store I went to recently in Atlanta.....yes another one.  Stand down people....I KNOW all of you do not live here but this is my hometown and I have to support all these design/home stores.  Retail is tough out there!

Boxwoods Garden and Gifts has an eclectic mix of decorative accessories, antiques and vintage furniture.  It has always been a go to place if you needed a beautiful arrangement that might include an orchid, greenery and a beautiful container.  Now they have opened a home store.

WOWZA.....it is beautiful!


This was on display right when you walked in, and I have to say that Brook and Steve would be proud.  There is quite the "patina style" in this store!

The stairs are just raw pine, but with a gray stain on them.....

I love how primitive they look.

Yes siree bob.....I want this ceiling.

The white wood is just strips of PLYWOOD.....white washed.  Uh huh......

Burlap curtains...so simple!  The walls were a beautiful grayish french blue.

Holy Christmas......this chair has my name written all over it.....invisible ink...:)

Want some dishes with greek key?  I do.

How about some hot damn gorgeous silverware!!!

This chest started singing when I looked at it.  I think it felt it's own "hotness"....

Iloveantiquemirrorsomuch.

Burlap padded walls.....I want these when they finally put me away :)

The edge of a cool bench....

Need some smokin cool tablecloths?

Yeah...this had me dreaming.....what a ceiling.

White and gray with a touch of green is so damn special....
I like that you can hang this on the wall...

Old shutters....dishes stacked....and a cool console.  Just doesn't get much better.

Everywhere I looked....gorgeousness.....If you are in Atlanta....you must go take a look.  There is so much to see here.

OK...one last thing.  Has anyone seen the HGTV show Donna Decorates Dallas???  That is one crazy show.  I thought it was supposed to be funny at first.  OK....I am not going to sit here like I am the authority on all things design because that is not the case.  But I am just wondering is it a regional thing?  Kind of like Swedish design is light and airy, and homes in the mountains are kind of woodsy and such?  Cause that girl can pile on the bling.




I guess that is why there is chocolate, strawberry and vanilla......everybody wants something different.  For me.....and I am like Oprah right now [remember when she said she didn't like beef].....it is not quite my style...just saying.   On a positive note...she is real pretty.  And she will do an install in 6 inch heels..gotta hand it to her on that one.  

Last chance for the giveaway......

52 days until Christmas.....Get going!
