Pardon me for my lack of posts this week... I have had morning meetings both Wednesday and Thursday.  Anyway... I stumbled across the BEAUTIFUL home of Atlanta designer Kay Douglass.  I completely love it.

 

The exterior of the home is gorgeous.  A Tudor style with a high pitched roof and the slightly white washed brick.  The lantern is perfect above the wooden front door and the what I am assuming is fig ivy growing on the entry façade.

 

Clean crisp white walls can do a lot for any room... especially if you don't get enough natural light.  I always recommend a satin finish to reflect the light.  Kay's living room below is so simple yet stunning.  I love the white walls, white curtains, and the white furniture with pops of yellow.  And my absolute FAVORITE thing is the antler sphere chandelier.  Stunning! And the way it reflects in the mirror is a major bonus. Notice how she uses the rustic tables in front of the sofas to bring in the rustic chandelier.  

 

 Check out a close up of one of the sofas... So cool! She found the object above the sofa on a trip to Belgium... get this, it's a part of an old farm tool!!  What a unique way to incorporate a trip to remember and also a great conversation starter.  Love this! 

 

 This kitchen is to die for... the bar/island is both functional and good looking.  Notice the double seater barstools.  This is a great way to get extra seating with out a row of barstools that you are always having to straighten.  The legs on these particular bar stools are white washed which is a great idea.  Had they been stained brown they would have taken away from the entire feel of the room.

 

 We sell a version of these rattan woven pendants in the showroom and they are so great!  Where typically you see metal or glass fixtures in kitchens the use of natural product softens the metal appliances.  All please note the ceiling planks!  Love this!!
