Atlanta's AmericasMart Part 2...

So I'm back to reality...it was a busy, fun, yet tiring two days at the Mart. I found some great things for my client! We've been endlessly searching for rugs in a bright, colbalt-type rug and finally found a few that were gorgeous!

Isn't this color beautiful?

 
Adorable pillows from Classic Home.

 The second day was just for fun, but I did not have the luck I had hoped for in finding my dream sectional.

 Sort of blurry, but here I am in my favorite chair in the Fourhands showroom!

Aren't these amazing?


 My adorable good designer friend also at Fourhands.

I didn't take as many photos as I had hoped, but I at least picked up a million catelogs. Here are of the other things I loved, according to my IPhone :)

 I love that grouping hanging above the sectional!

Cute idea- bench sectional in bar height. Cozy :)

 Loving the industrial style pendants!

Blue velvet tuxedo chair with chrome nail heads.

 Solid wood pub table with tufted back bar stools.

  Rustic tear drop chandelier

 Canopy bed by Peninsula


All in all it was a successful trip & I'm a happy gal. Do you like what you see?

Have a great week!

Atlantas AmericasMart...

It's Market week at Atlanta's AmericasMart!!

For those of you who do not know, the Mart (as I call it), is a massive multi-building wholesale market open to the trade (designers, furniture showroom buyers, etc). It's open year round, but four times a year, they have a market/show where temporary vendors are set up. They also host seminars and events during show which make it very fun & a little bit of a mad house! I'll be going twice this week and cannot wait to share our great finds & experiences with you. I feel very lucky to be a designer in a city that has this resource.

On day one, my client & I will will be looking for lamps, accessories, and rugs  for several of her spaces. We have a huge to do list...but we can get it done! On day two, the next group will be looking for accents, artwork, and I am really hoping to find a dream sectional for my own home.

I have been looking into this for what seems like two years now. Although, I have a lot I'm about to do in my own space, I spend much much more time on my clients homes than my own abode. This year I really hope to set some time aside for me & my hubby's space...I think we deserve it.

Let's talk about how I really love the style of these Restoration Hardware sectionals:



Yum-o!

I really love the sleek, contemporary track arms with an overstuffed down cushion. Yes, please! I found a manufacturer that has RH type pieces & guess what? They will be at Market this week. Score! I'll keep you updated on my progress...more to come next week on our super-finds!

Wish me luck,
