Atlanta Christmas House

I love me a Christmas house tour, so my ears perked up when I saw last night's One King's Lane sale featuring items from the Atlanta Homes and and Lifestyles Christmas House.

In the living room I immediately recognized the Kelly Wearstler covered chairs in front of the fireplace - such an interesting choice given the rest of the decor in the room, don't you think?


Those particular chairs aren't on the OKL sale, but if you just love them, you could always purchase Wearstler's Lee Jofa "Channel" fabric by the yard (contact us for pricing).


The upstairs study looks like a cozy spot for a cold winter night (does it get cold in Atlanta?)...


Though it's hard to tell from the photo, the wing-back chairs above are actually teak!  I don't think I've ever seen wooden wing backs before.  I love the look - but can't vouch for the comfort level!  If you want to take the gamble, $2099 will get you the pair...


The large, geometric patterned rug in the study seems like a steal at $599.


In the entryway, I'm digging the various heights at which the stairwell art is hung...


...and the Oushak runner is divine....


$3639

I'm loving the drama of the master bedroom - in particular the gentle lines of the leather settee in contrast to the imposing velvet headboard behind it.


$7,999

I stared at this gorgeous room for a long time before realizing it was a nursery.  Wow.  Gorgeous, yes.  Appealing to a baby/toddler?  Not sure.  Guess that's why it's perfect for a show house.  And a show baby.


Kelly Wearstler (via Lee Jofa) makes an appearance again, above, via her Water Stipe fabric on the oversized pillow/ottoman.


$799

In the boys room (hey, where's the StarWars posters?), I'm particularly loving the peacock blue walls, and the adorable styling of the presents falling out of the armoire.


And my favorite piece of furniture in the room...


... the Merchantile's Upholstered Chair, for $3,815.

If you're in the area, the Atlanta Christmas House is open through December 9th.  Check it out here!

Upcoming Show Houses in Boston and NYC!

Hello lovely readers - we have some fun upcoming events to share with you.  (No one has asked us to post these events, they just look like fun and we wanted to share them with you!)

Are you looking for some good inspiration and lovely ideas?  The Junior League of Boston Show House tickets are on sale!  The Potter Estate is on the grounds of the Jackson-Walnut Park School in Newton.  The house opens on October 16th and runs until November 18th.


LOVE this work-in-progress sneak peak of the the pooch standing watch on the stairwell of this historic property..


Do you live in the NYC area?  Have you heard of the "Holiday House"?  This year it is benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  This Holiday themed show house will be open to the public from October 25 - November 18th and is located at an historic limestone mansion at 2 East 63rd Street.


Oh and by the way, "Holiday" doesn't just refer to Christmas.  Here is the room from 2011 that was dedicated to "Mother's Day". I wouldn't mind spending Mother's Day in this room by Ally Coulter!



And lastly, if you happen to be an Orchid fan, there is the 60th Orchid Jubilee at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA from November 2 - 4.

Hope to see you there - let us know if you go!!

Cheers!
