Bar Stools

I am really excited about the new bar stools at my lake house. I ordered them 5 months ago and they arrived this week!

They are from Restoration Hardware, and look tres amazing with my dining chairs!

Charming Charlie

We just had a new store called Charming Charlie come to the Atlanta area recently.

It has some clothes but it is mainly the most amazing accessory store. Think "Claire's" for grown-ups!

The store is arranged by color, so it is really easy to find exactly what you're looking for, although the selection is so good, and the prices so low, you're sure to find one or two things that you didn't even know that you wanted!

Here are some examples of their wares...

I have a 13 year old daughter, with very sophisticated tastes, and she loved it. I tend to prefer real jewels to faux, but I am very happy with my finds. There were so many pieces that would look great with all of my Lilly.

Check here to see if they have a store near you.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day.

We have a tradition of spending the day at Serenbe. For those of you who live in Georgia, Serenbe is a 1,000 acre community that is about 30 minutes from the Atlanta airport. There are homes and businesses there, but it feels like an old-fashioned farming community.

We have lunch at the Farmhouse, and then spend the afternoon walking the trails, sitting by a river, or napping in a meadow depending on our mood!

Talbots

As you know I love a tunic. What could be better for summer than this preppy white eyelet tunic....

I also love this straw clutch

And my favorite item - this belted sheath dress.

My Drawing Room

Here are a few photos of the drawing room of my Georgia home. As you can see it is much more formal than my country abode in Alabama.

The walls are a pale green, the drapery is pale gold, the sofas are red and the rug includes all of these colors. (A grown-up pink and green color scheme!)

I adore the built-ins and the coffered ceiling.

Most of the furniture is from Ethan Allan, I think that their seating is just so comfortable and I love that I can customize the fabrics.

As you can see I am obsessed with mercury/antiqued glass and moss balls. (Thanks to my spring swop partner who added to my moss collection).

The family room opens onto my breakfast room and kitchen - the perfect layout for a family.

Hope you like it!
