Seriously...get your coffee. Dare I say the rest of the home is better?

It is like if someone asks you if you would rather have a chocolate cupcake or chocolate cheesecake?

I gotta say, I LOVE the funkiness of the stencils, stripes and poms poms in the rest of the home .

You got your coffee?

You focused?

You love me?

Just checking.

Here it goes....


(Oh, by the way, this is Anisa Darnell's home.  She is a decorator.  She is my friend.  She lives in Georgia.  She might (probably) is trying out for Design Star next season.  She rocks.  Her husband rocks too, for a living...for God  Casey Darnell and his music here )

Yes.  That is stencils.  She did each one.  I forget how many days 

she said it took her.

Yes.  That is nailhead trim.

And how often do you see gallery lighting in the bedroom like this?

A M A Z I N G.  

I wonder if it doubles as reading light?  I need to ask her.

love the antique dresser and mod chair

So gorgeous it deserves another angle.

(by the way, they are redoing this soon.  Bye bye stencil, hello 12" barnwood horizontal

treatment)

And onto the striking hallway...

She even beautifies laundry.

Why not make a chore lovely?

Back downstairs for a sec for the welcoming vignette

And are you ready for sweet Ava's room?

Seriously, my favorite little girl's room ever.

Look closer:  "Baby Doll's"  (yes, official given name) bed

is custom.  That is what future design star's

do to their little girl's little baby's beds!

speechless.

And outside, the gorgeous fest continues:

Again, my favorite word:  contrast!

So remember this face....I tell ya, I have a feeling:

And as talented as she is (and as pretty), this doesn't compare

at all to her spirit.  She is rare!

Don't you love her home?  

Okay, love fest over.

Finish that coffee and enjoy your Friday!
