It's a small world, too.

So Happy Thanksgiving! This is me, thankful for a clean and quiet home. There is really no other way to scrub and clean and organize for a shoot than kicking out my husband and the boys. We are having Thanksgiving today at my in-law's place at Lake Lanier....so I just pleaded for them to head out early. I was so happy to walk around in a clean and ready house that I had to pull out the camera at 9 pm. It is like spotting the Lochness Monster. When you have little boys, no one would ever believe your home was clean. You try to catch a shot for proof.</div>

<a href="http://www.designindulgence.blogspot.com/">Sherry</a> came over and spent about all day with me. I wish I had before pictures of my office. (Just insert "Hoarders" here and you can imagine. When they came to scout our home this was where I threw everything without a home. You couldn't walk in it.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She took everything out, organized and put it back in (beautiful) order. I am so thankful for her help!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She really is like a mentor, too. She's been designing for fifteen years, and been published often, so she has so much information to share and I am like a little sponge when I'm with her. She gives me tips on what she does with clients, shows me hidden resources in Atlanta and spends hours with me in ADAC. Why? She is just that kind of a person. While she was working I was trying to organize, but mostly I was pulling out old tear-sheets and saying, "Look, Sherry! Couldn't you eat this room?" She would oblige and then continue cleaning up my crap.</div>

<i><br /></i><br />
So last week I was writing about kitchens and how I'm thinking that we will be seeing a lot more of rustic wood kitchens soon. Just like life: you say something then you see it everywhere....<br />
<br />
In <a href="http://www.southernliving.com/">Southern Living</a> & <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a> this month I saw examples of this. Southern Living featured a kitchen with loads of reclaimed wood and House Beautiful's cover is a natural wood tone as well.<br />
<br />
I do kinda hate trends, but they are inevitable. And this is my prediction for the next few years, at least.<br />
<br />

I am very sorry it is sideways (there is no way to rotate after uploading, right?) If you turn your head you will see the wood island and the wine barrel chandelier.<br />

I love this look, though, because I think it will stand the test of time. (I also think white kitchens will, too!) I recently watched Woody Allen's Crimes & Misdemeanors for the first time--and I was in awe of how timeless and not dated Woody Allen's character's NY apartment was. It was natural wood. It looked so simple against all of the hard, angular '80s decor in the rest of the film.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But what I also think we will be seeing more of is tables in lieu of large islands. I think because of our downturned economy and because of the "trend" to eat at home and eat locally (which I hope is here to stay!! I wish I would never see another McDonalds again.), having a warm & intimate eat-in kitchen is something that is definitely not going away anytime soon.</div>

Have a good Thursday. I'm off to finish cooking my contribution to the feast at 6 in the morning. Oh, the things you do as a mom you never dreamed you would do. Like making hearty casseroles before you've had your morning coffee and saying things like, "Liam, get that enema out of your mouth!" Don't you wish we had a recording of all the ridiculous things we say and they?! Julie</div>

I know I post about her often, but I love that most of her items truly are one-of-a-kind. Reinventing an antique will ensure no one else will have one like you!

Is this true? <br />
<br />
I would love it if it were so, but when I bought what I thought was a new Country Home at Barnes & Noble a few months back, I felt a little gipped because it was just a "bookazine" reprint of homes I have already seen (and loved, mind you!). If this news is true, please do fill us in someone!<br />
<br />
But while we wait, here are a few images of the beloved magazine. And, actually, the name is such a misnomer. I find many modern touches and many edgy rooms in its pages. Here are a few. Do you still love this mag?<br />
<br />
(Oh, and on my checklist--Rue article, done. Living Room sketches and plan in head--done. Aren't y'all so busy this time of year, too? Thanks for your wellwishes....)<br />

Love a huge bedside table--like this (like a real table!) And the three various damasks on the bed. How simple and perfect (Can't tell if the headboard is wood with a white stencil...you can find this stencil at Michael's and Hobby Lobby, BTW....or upholstered in damask-print fabric.) Don't these mix of hues work?</div>

And this wonderful kitchen. I think the next wave of kitchens will be a barnwood-type wood cabinets. I love my white kitchen, I do, and I wouldn't change a thing. But I do think the next thing in kitchens will be reclaimed, chunky wood mixed with materials. I think if Domino were still around this is what they would be doing next. Oh, and I think no more huge islands (which I also have...and love). I think only tables in kitchens in lieu of islands or two "islands"....one for storage and one table for eating. Forgive this tangent, just been on my mind lately)</div>

Here's my week-at-a-glance: <i>(by the way, have you ever seen Martha's month-at-a-glance at the beginning of her magazine? Are you kidding me? And the crazy thing is--I bet she actually completes that list.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>+ </i>get the house clean. I mean really clean (dust under chairs, wipe baseboards, touch-up paint that matchbox cars have scratched in the kitchen, etc.) because the shoot is the 29th and 30th!! I can't wait, but if you saw this home at the moment you would laugh at me if I told you BH & G was coming in two weeks. (Anyone live in Atlanta and want to help me out? Come on over. I have wine....and strong coffee...and popsicles.)<br />
<br />
+ get the Rue article finished. One down, one to go.<br />
<br />
+ work on design boards with Anisa for a client (for kitchen, mudroom, dining room, hallway, master bedroom, master bathroom, living room, outdoor terrace living area, basement/ downstairs living room, front exterior. Of course I am thrilled to be working on this!!! but this is a lot of work.<br />
<br />
+ cook for Thanksgiving feast for the boys' mothers morning out party this Thursday.<br />
<br />
+ cook for our own Thanksgiving--we will be going to my mother-in-law's lake house at Lake Lanier next week.<br />
<br />
+ work on finalizing the paperwork & architect plans for our Airstream barn/ cottage in our backyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess like Cher says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead."<br />
<br />
So here is my segue to honoring those magazines who have passed away. I want to share some of my favorite images from the magazine holy trinity--Domino, Cottage Living, and Country Home.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's begin the week with Domino......<br />

Definitely ahead of its time. The simple subway tiles laid in a herringbone pattern, the pops of robins' egg blue in the pendants, shelf brackets and plates. The wall-mounted oil-rubbed bronze faucet, the long & modern cabinet pulls and the eco-friendly dishwasher (wash 1/2 a load or a full load if you wish to conserve water and energy). And how Julia Child of them to install a utilitarian and beautiful pot rack and coffee cups hooks under the bottom shelf?! Love it in all its fantastic glory.</div>

In this mid-century brick ranch you will find the original sunny yellow-tiled bathroom! It really is groovy and they want to keep it (the kids love it!) We think we can make it tie in with the rest of the home. One way will be to incorporate this sunny and warm color as an accent in the rest of the home.</div>

But the main inspiration photo she showed us is of a very warm living room with some wonderful and luxurious orange velvet seating. We think we have to make their dreams come true and bring in some orange!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I started this blog in May I was bursting with passion and ideas about design (still am), so it really was a natural next step....(free!) I was spending so much time reading design blogs at night, I thought, "Why not just start one myself."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first wrote <a href="http://www.mybluehydrangea.blogspot.com/">Sissy</a> about fabric or something asked me if I worked in design. I said, "No. But I want to." When you know you have a strong desire about something, don't you find yourself looking for validation outside of you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I hope y'all are tired about me sharing everything about what it going on and starting a business. This is just how it is unfolding for us and I want to share it! I really do have a desire to have a successful design business one day, to have a shop, and to keep writing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was talking with a design blogger yesterday and she was telling me how a lot of designers who have their design business up-and-running and then decide to blog think negatively about bloggers who then wish to create a design business after they have been blogging (like me). I can see how they might feel that way...but life is a journey and none of us can really plan where it might take us. Well, we <i>can</i> plan, and we should, but "life is what happens after we have already made plans" right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But even though I dreamed of being published one day I didn't think (if it did happen at all), that it would happen so soon. I still don't know the date but you know I will share when they are here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now they tell me that the renovation magazine "Kitchen and Bath Makeovers" (a sister company of BH & G) will be shooting our master bath. I am so excited!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the Milk and Honey team (Anisa and I) are meeting with our first prospective client today...here home in Buckhead is going through a major renovation. Fingers crossed that the family likes us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you, readers, for reading when you do and your comments and encouragement have meant so much. Without you none of this would be happening!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even though I didn't go to college at UGA, Chris did. My soul bleeds red and black. But it's not just football. Athens is like a little Europe in the south. The old homes, the quaint and quirky downtown with its ubiquitous "townies", the good food, the cheap beer. I lived there briefly with a boyfriend I later married for 92 days. (Yep, was married before. I knew better...but didn't know better).<br />
<br />
When I saw this home in October's Southern Living Magazine I said, "Yes. Lindsay Bierman knows what he's doing."<br />
<br />
This home has soul. You can tell artists live here. And that is soo Athens.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;">Please meet Ceri Hoover & her gorgeous work & family! She is what she told me when I asked her to fill my readers in.....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 15px;"><i>“<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">My name is Ceri Hoover, wife, mother, and design-obsessed creator. I create functional, beautiful home accessories using designer fabrics and only the finest materials. I am a native of North Carolina and currently reside at the beach with my husband, son, two dogs, and our little fishy. I love all things designer but have learned how to be crafty when necessary. I just recently began sewing regularly</span></i><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"> </span></i></b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">and instantly fell in love with fabrics (Peter Dunham being my current favorite). There is nothing more refreshing than incorporating new pillows into a room! I also love cooking, Costa Rica, knee-high boots, Citizen denim, wine & cheese, and sand between my toes. I am thrilled to have found a successful creative outlet that I can enjoy at home with my son!”</span></i></span><br />

I have yet to read his book, but I am looking forward to snagging one so I can bend his ear for a minute. There is really nothing not beautiful I have seen from his rooms. He seems to collect like Suzanne Kasler (I adore how he styles his tableware), and has a love of white and mixing like Vicente Wolf. Yet I find him warm and classical and soft and strong at the same time. (He kinda looks that way, too)</div>

I am excited to actually have some events I need to "dress" for, you know? My boys being four and two, I have lived in Target tops and yoga pants for years (but I still had to wear some cute Converse and funky earrings with them--my mom always preached to us that "Life is not a dress rehearsal." That has stuck with me--even in the baby fog years)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've got a few fun events coming up this fall and winter...</div>

Darryl Carter at Urban Electric, big Arteriors sample sale, SCAD students' art at West Elm (Savannah College of Art & Design), <a href="http://www.designindulgence.blogspot.com/">Sherry Hart</a> giving a little lesson on styling at the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Christmas House, The <a href="http://www.lavishxperience.com/">Lavish Conference</a>, and Better Homes & Gardens coming to shoot! Aside from marrying Chris and birthing these youngins', this is about the best year of my life. </div>
