Christmas Garland

This year, I'm going to hang garland over the inside of my front door. I have had this photo saved for a couple of years and it's my inspiration. The last time I tried this project I couldn't find the right garland. This time I found the perfect garland for the spot , and it is sitting in my entrance hall now! Can't wait to see how it turns out. We are putting our tree in a new location and I think the garland will look beautiful with all of the other decorations. Will post pictures once it's complete.

Sneak Peek of 2013 Cathedral Antiques Show Tour of Homes!

Save the date for the 2013 Cathedral Antiques Show Tour of Homes. The tour will be held on Sunday, January 27 from 11am-5pm, and five stunning Atlanta houses will be featured. Many of these houses have never been on a house tour before! You will not want to miss this amazing opportunity to visit houses designed or renovated by architects Norman Askins, McAlpine Tankersley, Stan Dixon, Gil Schafer, Charles Heydt and Ken Lynch. And absolutely not to miss is a landmark Atlanta estate designed by Philip Shutze!

This Fall I had the pleasure of writing about the houses, and Atlanta photographer Emily Followill beautifully captured the essence of each house inside and out. Emily and I had a great time working with the owners, architects and interior designers to find out the story behind each house. Interior designers featured on the tour include: Atlanta's own Miles Redd, Huff-Dewberry Inc., Robert Brown Interior Design, Melanie Turner Interiors, and Lilla Costello.

The 2013 beneficiary for all proceeds from the Cathedral Antiques Show and Tour of Homes is Refugee Family Services in Stone Mountain.

Architect Gil Schafer's Hudson Valley house. This has always been one of my favorites. His book, The Great American House, is wonderful and would make a great Christmas gift.
