finally… I’m so happy! It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of my decor projects. This has been a long and crazy week so I’m thrilled to share this project with you as a way to sign off for a long weekend. This is the home of my sweet and super stylish friend, Annie Salem. Annie purchased her townhome this spring and asked me if I would help her pull it together after visiting the Neiman Marcus event. I was beyond excited!! I love Annie and I knew her style. We knew it would be a great fit for both of us. See below for the before and after details. Hope you enjoy!! Have a wonderful holiday weekend friends!!!

start the drooling now… In the spirit of schools and libraries and such, I’m SO ridiculously excited to share this home renovation from Dana Hardy and her husband Paul, of Meadowbroke. They are tackling this house one room at a time and I stumbled on to their blog recently to find this!! I’m so jealous I can hardly stand it. Read below to see pics of this super chic, dark, cozy library all done by these two incredibly talented and creative people. The colors (or lack there of) are absolute perfection. It all reminds me a bit of Roman and Williams. Which I love.

last night… Facebook and Twitter were all a buzz with the launch of Crystal Gentilello’s (Plush Palette) new shelter magazine RUE. I’m so excited for. She has been working so hard and ps - having a blast doing it!! Anyway - it looks like she’s got some pretty big hitters (Can’t say who yet but it’s huge). So last night when I saw all of the local press buzzing about it on Facebook I was THRILLED to see the transformed home of my sweet and uber talented friends Jamie Laubhan-Oliver and Larry Oliver. I launched my blog with their home and I’m so excited that Crystal is including them in the launch of her magazine (and not by my doing by the way, found via their very cool etsy store). The sneak peek looks completely different from when I was there a year ago. Can’t wait to see the whole house. I’m told there are TEN full features. Yessssssss. All this to say I know we’re SO happy for a new shelter mag. We NEED it!! Congrats to Crystal and her partner Ann Sage!

i love disco, i love the nightlife… I love the 70’s. Just sayin’. I’m THRILLED to share the home of blogger Joslyn Taylor with you. It’s stunning. Truly. We’re lucky to live in an area where there are little gems of very cool 70’s mod houses. She and her husband Bryan discovered this house and described it as “boogie nights meets brady bunch” (which equals for me, I’m in! and must see ASAP!!). I’m happy to report this house for a family of four has still got a little boogie nights rockin’. Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.

i owe you so many… updates on the Dwell with Dignity journey. I actually have three (maybe four!? eek!!) houses I need to share with you. The girls (Lisa and Kim) have been so busy doing good and moving into their new DWD house we just got caught up a few weeks ago. I always ask for the breakdown on the houses because it fascinates me how resourceful they are and what they accomplish in such a short time. Remember the DWD crew finds out less than a week before the family moves in who they are and what needs they have. Photos and details from their Citywalk house which was for a graduate of Interfaith housing and her six year old daughter. It turned out fabulously, so much fun. Also, so happy to report that DWD is the Hot Nonprofit in the August Hot Issue of FD Luxe! Congratulations!!
