i often tend to listen to the same song over and over again.  at this moment it's video games.  i can't help it, it's rather addicting....you've got to give it a time or two....trust me, you'll be singing it.

atlanta was a blast!!  well worth the effort it took to get there and so much fun to see old friends!!  one thing i LOVE about atl is the shopping.  i get so much inspiration from the stores there!!  here are some of my go to shops there:
Gramercy: amazing bedding, headboards, monograms and the girls who run it couldn't be any cuter!!
Pieces: i mean, pieces is just the bomb.  i was absolutely drooling over the lucite bentwood chairs upholstered in hot pink wool (why did i not take a picture).  to die for.
Scout for the Home: beautiful pillows, love the unique furniture (really wanted to take this table home w/ me), and pretty table top accents.
 Bungalow Classic: didn't get to make it here this time but i ALWAYS stop here.  best store ever.  such great upholstery, amazing vignettes, great lighting, and bedding... the whole store is full of inspiration.
South of Market: love the industrial feeling of this store, such clean lines in the furniture, fabulous custom pillows, and killer vintage lighting (used several of these in clients homes).
Mrs. Howard:  if you haven't had a chance to experience one of pheobe howard's stores, you are missing out.  it's absolutely stunning....it's not like a typical store.  it's like walking into a showhouse.  a must see for any design lover.
and i highly recommend going to atl w/ girlfriends...b/c they make everything more fun.....
hope y'all had a great weekend too!!

for a long time i have been dying to paint my interior doors a deep chocolate brown.  it's one of those things that just needs to "happen" while my husband's away at work (men don't get the importance of a good door color).  i need to buy the paint and just do one door a day.....so here's the thing....once i start, do i do all of my doors or do you think some can be left white??  this could take awhile and i've been known to get bored w/ projects :)
