Chateau Soleil

I love a good show house and the Atlanta Decorator's Show House never disappoints. This year the designer's revamped the Chateau Soleil for 2015 last April and May. 

I'll show you a couple of my favorite details:

Keebet

I'm in Atlanta for the Design Blogger's conference this week. I'm excited to meet new people and be inspired! I'll let you know what goodies I find out! 

W hotel Buckhead

On my recent trip to the ATL I stayed at the W hotel Buckhead in which the interior was designed by Thom Felicia.     ( Remember him from Queer Eye)

I have stayed in W hotels where the decor is more monochromatic - navy, white etc. More solid colors but always lots of drama. The elevators always smells good too. 

This one is a little different in a few ways so I'll give you my likes and dislikes. 

#1 Love the patterns and colors in the rooms.

#2 Like: headboard is padded to the ceiling  

#1 Dislike draperies are only sheers no room darkening option

#2 Half Dislike: headboard trim runs onto the ceiling, not sure I understood it. Faux canopy? Room divider? 

                                            #3 Like: Artwork that does not all match
                                           #3 Dislike: arm chair arm was broken

#4 Like: orange throw at the end of the bed reminded me of the Viceroy in LA

#5 Like: the color of the doors and the knocker again reminded me of the Viceroy

#6 Like: frosted wall in bathroom that opened to bedroom

#4 Dislike: rain shower head - no pressure 

#5 Dislike: small space

#6 Dislike: bar by the front door - hard to use + the $10 water bottle

#7 Like: suites are open and full of color and pattern

#8 Like: lobby: again the color and pattern WOW! 

#7 Dislike: deer antler chandeliers ( a little cliche )

#9 Like: Rockin place at night

#8: Dislike: Rockin place at night ( not good for the early to bed people) 

#10 Like: Roof Top Whiskey Bar - very L.A.

#11 Like: Again the geometric screen like the Viceroy but I like it 

                                                                A fun place to stay!

Atlanta Designers

I can't believe it is already August. I don't want the summer to end. So when I stumbled across this beach house by designer Bill Musso from Atlanta, I thought it was a must to showcase. He designed it just as I would have. I love the clean lines and the cream and white color scheme.



Pops of color in the guest room.


Light green striped chairs with cool funky accents. Just the best!

Westbrook Interiors

I stumbled upon this magazine " Atlanta's Home and Lifestyles" while waiting in the salon for my facialist. This high end, high rise model designed by Barbara Westbrook of Westbrook Interiors grabbed my attention. I loved many aspects of the design. Of course I love the cream, neutral palette but the use of grays and blacks kept me thinking about this design. The rooms are not over decorated but each room holds your attention with unique pieces of furniture and art.









It is the first time in a long while that I have taken the time to look at the credits to see where the furniture and fabrics are made. Bravo Barbara!
