Happy Sunday, folks! Today on the blog I am sharing a recent bedroom/bathroom renovation. This darling yellow cottage is tucked away on a quiet street just a few blocks from the center of Decatur, GA. Decatur is a hip, left-thinking, laid back community neighboring Atlanta. I love it because it reminds me of Berkeley, where I spent my college years.</div>

The homeowner is a hardworking single mom with a love of color. Her requests were to renovate the dated master bath, while improving it's functionality and storage. Furthermore, her closet area (in the hallway between the bedroom and bathroom) had five converging doors in a tight space, making it highly annoying to access both closets and bathroom. She also requested updates to the bedroom to tie the spaces together. </div>

The big blue vanity was centered on the wall for a more symmetrical approach. The blinds were replaced with custom linen roman shades which lend an airy, coastal feel to the room.</div>

We clad the entire room, even the sloped ceiling (sorry, no photos of this) in 1x6 planks for a clean, cottage appeal. Polished nickel hardware and plumbing was added to the pre-fab vanity from Home Decorators.</div>

A new frameless shower opens up the space even more. The white subway tile adds to the cottage flavor, but we dressed up the floor with a chevron mosaic tile to coordinate with the gray marble in the rest of the bathroom. The shower system was also upgraded to incorporate a rain head and body sprayer. Missing, here, is the blue garden stool which never arrived:(</div>

Last week we completed a fun family room in downtown Alpharetta. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The couple started with the large charcoal sectional that they had found at Havertys. The look of this piece is similar to Crate and Barrel or Room and Board, and it is ultra comfortable. The homeowners are drawn to the soft modern style of West Elm, and loved the Ikat Blur rug in chartreuse, ivory and gray. This is a color I have never worked with before, but I had a lot of fun with the combo! Thank you, sweet clients, for the inspiration!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Here is the BEFORE...a blank slate:</div>

Because pillows always get me excited, I often start a project there. Everyone has their own source of inspiration, and this is one of mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here we have the mix of pillows: (left to right) custom linen chevron, patchwork hide from Marshall's, custom chartreuse linen, chevron hide from Marshall's, Mongolian fur from West Elm, custom Ikat. (Custom pillows can be ordered through me. Please email me at lisagabrielson@att.net for inquiries.)</div>

I recently finished the renovation of a rental property in Miramar Beach, Florida, in the Sandestin resort. The condo was built in 1982, and still had most of the original colors and features including pickled pink stains, beveled mirror walls, and dated, mismatched furniture.</div>

We whitewashed the stucco walls, removed the bar corbels, and painted the cabinets Worldly Gray by Sherwin Williams to lighten the look. The massive orb chandelier, modern seating, driftwood table, silver finishes and new lighting keep it fun, casual and sophisticated.</div>

This job was done on a TIGHT budget. In order to fit in all of the painting, construction and new furnishings, I shopped at Target, Home Goods, Tuesday Morning, Wayfair, Ikea, World Market, Overstock, and outlet stores. The only custom items were the pillows, below. Custom pillows always take it to another level, in my opinion:)</div>

The chandelier, below, was found many month ago at the Pottery Barn outlet. It was the piece that set the tone for the whole project. The hammered vases from Target were drilled to hang on the wall. Right now, the palmettos are fresh, but they will dry to a cool pale blue/green color.</div>

Alas, Spring has brought new inspiration, finished projects to share, and some untapped things to talk about...<br />

In Italy, most stores are in the historical centers of town where the buildings are protected by legal codes to preserve cultural and architectural integrity. What might be viewed as a hinderance and bureaucratic annoyance by some, is actually what preserves antique architecture. Hence, Italian architects are masters of blending the old with the new, as seen above and below.</div>

I follow Paolo on <a href="http://instagram.com/paologiachi">Instagram</a>, and am amazed at how he spins the globe on a weekly basis; one day in Miami, the next in Kiev, then Dubai...is that even possible? One peek at his website, and you will see that his success is not only due to hard work, but exceptional artistic vision. In addition to commercial architecture and design, Paolo also has several impressive residential projects in his portfolio...<br />
<br />
In Italy, an architecture degree also encompasses a degree in design. In fact, most homeowners will hire one "architetto" to design not only the architecture, but also the interior. Living in Italy, I sometimes found this to be a mistake, since architects focused so much on the lines of the structure that the interiors often lacked warmth, charm and personality in the furnishings. This is not the case with Paolo's work. He manages to maintain the integrity of the building by blending historical elements with modern function and style, but he also infuses them with vintage pieces, creative color choices, original art and luxurious custom window treatments: all lending an air of home...CASA.<br />

I recently read a quote somewhere in the design world about the benefits of clashing colors, and unfortunately I have a terrible memory, so I cannot recite it. There is so much that is truly awesome about this image, but what strikes me every time I see it is the apple green cord cover against the emerald green walls. Sometimes the tiniest details make the biggest difference. This image would not be the same with black scrunchie, would it? Again, contrasts of antique and modern, dark and light, hard and soft edges, textures. Those vintage chairs look like they came from a beachside cafe' or "bagno". The global elements of the capiz pendant and antique red rug rock. Punto e basta.</div>

Paolo designed this mountain residence in the exclusive ski resort of St. Moritz. Bleached woods, voluminous linen draperies, neutral furnishings...all with a very Restoration Hardware vibe... create the perfect ambiance for a luxurious, yet laid back ski retreat. Personal touches in the art and rugs as well as barn wood clad walls in the bathroom add texture and uniqueness. Enjoy.</div>

Most of you know that I wear many hats. One of the things that keeps me busy is running an antiques booth. I love this facet of my job because it allows me to be creative on MY terms. Since I love so many different styles and color combinations, this gives me an outlet to explore things that I don't necessarily have at home, or have a client requesting. </div>

I have had the booth at the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta for six years, and have yet to pin down a style...it's ever-changing! I buy what I love, and then figure out how it will fit into the scheme of things later. The process is always organic, and often therapeutic. Here is a little taste of what is currently for sale at Lisa Gabrielson Design...</div>

Antique marble topped turquoise chest with original hardware (295.00). It would be great as a bedside table, in a small foyer, a large bathroom... Here, you also see a glimpse of a vintage Italian ceramic lamp and Italian tole tray.<br />

60" round pine table with carved base (1,500.00). These call for linen slip covered chairs. Elegant, yet rustic, with just the right touch of drama and understated class.</div>

I love stacked trunks! Think coffee table, or bedside table. These are both antique...probably tool boxes. The bottom one has a cool crusty zinc top. Both are well under 100.00.</div>

Give me a grid of botanicals any day! These came from a vintage book of Audubon prints (16.00/ea). Chinoiserie is hot now, and I love it in small doses, like this oversized lamp in pink, blue and green. The antique clock body has it's original seeded glass and has been outfitted with shelves and Paris Grey paint. This would be gorgeous at the end of a hallway, or in a bathroom displaying small bottles and antique linen guest towels.<br />

More Chinoiserie in this daybed/sofa. At 250.00 this is a great piece for a sunroom or starter apartment with a funky bohemian flair. The pillows are custom. I always carry a large selection of these in different patterns and color ways.<br />

We are house bound for a few days, and since we still have power, I am playing with pictures. This is Part 2 of a feature on details in decorating; the little things that make a big difference. (If you missed Part One, click <u><a href="http://blog.lisagabrielson.com/2014/02/little-boxes-on-hillside.html?showComment=1392221939258#c7649606363810340245">HERE</a></u>.)<br />
<br />
Below, are several shots of our master bedroom and bathroom. The antique pieces are dark wood and iron, but the creamy walls, white linen, foxed mirrors and curvy lines keep it from looking too heavy and traditional. I hope you enjoy this little glimpse. </div>

Do you know this song written in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Little boxes on the hillside,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Little boxes on the hillside,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Little boxes all the same.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
There's a green one and a pink one </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And a blue one and a yellow one,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they're all made out of ticky tacky</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all look just the same.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And the people in the houses</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
All went to the university,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Where they were put in boxes</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they came out all the same,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And there's doctors and lawyers,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And business executives,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they're all made out of ticky tacky</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all look just the same.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all play on the golf course</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And drink their martinis dry,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all have pretty children</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And the children go to school,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And the children go to summer camp</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And then to the university,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Where they are put in boxes</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they come out all the same.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And the boys go into business</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And marry and raise a family</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
In boxes made of ticky tacky </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all look just the same.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
There's a green one and a pink one</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And a blue one and a yellow one,</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they're all made out of ticky tacky</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And they all look just the same.</div>
</div>

Sound familiar? Those of us in suburbia can probably all relate to these lyrics. In the land of urban sprawl, subdivisions, and big box retailers, I <b><i>crave</i></b> individuality. Some people in my boat might dye their hair a strange color, run away to Brazil with an Italian boyfriend, become an obsessive triathlete, spend too much money on fancy cars, or a myriad of other things that would not be politically correct of me to mention in this format.<br />
<br />
I live in a subdivision in the suburbs. I also live in the most popular model built in my subdivision, which is named after the subdivision itself. How's that for originality? Since we tend to spend a lot of time at home in this culture, I have tried to create an oasis of originality behind our closed doors.<br />
Design is how I leave my mark, it's how I feed my soul, it's what keeps me from blending in. It's the layers and the textures, the history, the colors and mostly, for me, the details.<br />
<br />

Lisa: I start with a home consultation to meet the client, see the space, and determine their needs and wants. Often times, the client will want to incorporate a special piece of art, or furniture into the room, which I will use as an inspirational point of reference to get the ball rolling. From there, I show them photos to get them excited and make sure we are on the same page. Once a style and color palate has been determined, I put together a plan that includes virtual and physical mood boards, a room layout, and samples. Then it’s presentation, installation, and accessorizing; the part I love the most since it’s what gives the space personality and uniqueness. </div>

Many clients start with one room, and as budget allows, will finish the rest of the house over time. Most designers will charge an hourly rate or a project fee, plus a mark up on product. </span></div>

Lisa: I work with my client to determine their needs and taste before I draw up a plan. We communicate a lot during the planning phase with inspirational photos and visual aids along the way. Most people have a hard time pinpointing exactly what they like, so pictures and websites like Pinterest and Houzz are wonderful tools to help narrow the guess work. I will usually offer two or three choices to ensure that the client gets exactly what they love. Design contracts typically include one change, with a charge for subsequent changes. </div>

Lisa: In the bedroom, I like to place the bed so you can see it as you walk in. The living room should have good flow, with multi-purpose, comfortable seating. Lighting is often overlooked. It is important to offer different types of lighting throughout the house to create the maximum ambiance: overhead recessed lighting on dimmers, fabulous chandeliers and pendants, wall sconces, table and floor lamps, and also task lamps for reading. Most importantly, every room needs one thing of impact , whether it’s some great art, dramatic drapes, or over scaled lighting. This is what provides the wow factor! </div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #544933; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Lisa: <span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> I am definitely seeing a shift to a more modern aesthetic in the home. Even if your taste is traditional, modern or transitional touches added in small doses will really update a space. In kitchens, white cabinets and open shelving are still going strong. The Urban Farmhouse look is hot right now and appeals to people of all generations, both in the city and in the suburbs. Also, wallpaper has made a massive comeback. Try using it in limited quantities: an accent wall in a dining room or bedroom, in a powder room, or on the ceiling in an unexpected spot!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #544933; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lisa: <span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pretty neutrals are always in style, but to pull them off successfully, one needs lots of texture. Neutrals in the grey spectrum are in, while tones with a lot of yellow in them are out. Classic black and white is a striking combo, and happens to very trendy at the moment. Bright colors, vivid prints, indigo blues and lavender are all very hot right now. Traditional dark reds and golds are a thing of the past. I tend to use trendy colors in items such as pillows and drapes, that can be easily switched out as the fad passes. </span></span><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div>

Usually, we can salvage some of the core furniture, and completely transform the look with paint, rugs and fabric. Kitchens and baths are often in need of a more aggressive intervention.</span></div>

Then I would suggest trying to repurpose as much furniture as possible. Tables, chairs and armoires can be painted for a fresh look, chairs can be slip covered, and throw pillows added for color and interest. Lighting is also key. There are so many wonderful options out there for inexpensive, yet attractive lighting. A good decorator will work within your budget to map out a plan that fits your needs.</span></div>

As a native Minnesotan, who learned to drive in the worst conditions, I assure you I have never experienced anything like this before. All in all, we fared pretty well this week, with just a little adventure in the ice and snow department...<br />
<br />
As the sun set, my son appeared to be spending the night at school along with his best friend, who's mother was stranded downtown. I decided to brave the <strike>roads</strike> skating rinks despite my husband's warnings (he was on another continent during all of this, btw). But I knew my son was hungry, and I felt so badly for relying on the bus to bring him home (after all, they were stuck in gridlock too). I finally arrived at school to learn that their bus had just left! I was three cars behind the bus on an icy hill, where a good samaritan was pushing each and every car over the hump, when the bus slipped off the road and got stuck. Thank goodness I was there! Mr. Bus Driver was relieved to say the least, and said, "Ma'am, just take 'em all!" They piled in, one on top of the other, and after Mr. Good Samaritan pushed us back up the hill, away we went. The kids were delivered to their families safe and sound, thankful to have a story to tell.<br />
<br />
The boys spent the better part of the night sledding to their heart's content. But in all of that action, I forgot to ask the bus driver, if HE needed help. Our educators, administrators, bus drivers were handed a huge load of responsibility and frustration taking care of our children that day. Keeping them safe, making sure they went home with the right parents, keeping them calm and entertained... meanwhile, many of them were not able to connect with their OWN children. Thank you to all of you, for your loving dedication and care.<br />
<br />
On to antiques....<br />
<br />
If you are reading my blog, chances are you love antiquing as much as I do. <i><b>Atlanta Magazine</b></i> has just published a list of the best spots for treasure hunting. Join my friend, <a href="http://designindulgence.blogspot.com/">Sherry Hart</a>, as she shares some of her favorite spots (and mine, too) in our city. We are so thrilled to have made the list! A big thank you goes to <a href="http://www.lisamowry.com/">Lisa Mowry</a> for the mention.<br />

Let's face it, girls love pillows! I cherish a comfy, cozy home, and fewer things can render that better than fluffy down cushions in great fabric. I learned this from my mom. One of the easiest, quickest ways to revive a space is to change out the throw pillows. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know some men have an aversion to them, but the men in my life have either:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a) been forced to love them, or risk divorce;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
b) grown up around them so they could hardly imagine life otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I've trained my son right (the ladies will thank me later). His kamakaze karate chops leave a perfect crease at the day's end. Warms my heart and makes me want to give him a kiss when I see him in action:) My husband? Well let's just say it was little late for karate chops by the time I came around...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I like to mix patterns and textures, like the above assortment in our guest room. There will always be a stripe in the mix (in fact, my daughter has labeled me a stripe-aholic), and some yummy texture. A little bit of bling is always fun too. I also like to mix high end with low end price points. The above check pillows are vintage, the passion flower and stripes are custom, the Mongolian lamb is from Home Goods, and the gold circle pillow is from Target.</div>

Design genres of most kinds excite me. As you know, I have been working on a modern Italian beachside villa in Florida. The clients requested lots of color, which has clearly been influencing my eye these days. Take a look at some of the fun new products I have come across lately... I hope you enjoy!<br />

What a gorgeous day here today! And, I am sticking to the 30 day yoga challenge, so things are going pretty well.<br />
<br />
Today, I finally photographed a master bedroom renovation in Roswell that I did last fall. This was one of my favorite projects to work on because the colors were out of my wheelhouse, and the transformation was dramatic. Plus, the clients are fabulous.<br />

My first instincts were to lighten everything way up, and put the bed on the opposite wall, so you see it when you walk in. The walls just had to be white, with splashes of bright red and aqua.</div>

The couple wanted new hardwood floors to match downstairs, and are drawn to deep reds and light blues. They also wanted to incorporate a stained glass window that they picked up years ago, but never really found a home for, and a special vintage vanity that belonged to her mother. All of the mahogany furniture was staying.</div>

The headboard wall was paneled in in 1x6 tongue and groove boards for freshness and texture. We whitewashed the entire space in Benjamin Moore White Dove, and painted the ceiling Topsail by Sherwin Williams.</div>

The pewter pulls are original. The vintage mirror came from my booth at the Queen, and as luck would have it, Cherilyn had the adorable vanity stool in her booth in the exact red as the vanity! The lamps are all from Home Goods, and the rug is Birmingham Red from Dash and Albert.</div>

Above, you see the inspirational stained glass window front and center. The collection of vintage mirrors came from various dealers at the Queen of Hearts. The bedding is a mix of Pottery Barn, Home Goods, and custom pillows available at my booth, or by request.<br />
<br />
I was feeling like there was too much heaviness in all of the brown furniture, so they graciously agreed to let me paint the bow front dresser in Duck Egg (sorry about the goofy lighting).<br />

Custom canvas pinstripe drapes were installed, and her vintage chair got a new life in a punchy Suzani print. The lanterns flanking the fireplace are from Pottery Barn.<br />

<br />
It's still cold here in Atlanta, and I'm over it. I'm feeling like a bear in hibernation these days, so yesterday I resolved to take the 30 Day Yoga Challenge at the gym. This morning, I left my Hot Vinyasa Flow feeling pretty dandy, and decided to set out on a buying/blogging trip at Lakewood 400.<br />
<br />
Lakewood antique market in Cumming, GA takes place the third weekend of every month, and I never miss one. It can be hit or miss, but the picking is usually pretty good, and it's an easy day trip. I never come home empty handed.<br />
<br />
I have lots of dealer friends there, and it's always fun to see what's new. From time to time I share my finds on the blog, and the dealers are always so appreciative. Who would't want free advertising? But today, one dealer wasn't having a very good day, and I fell into her <b>trap</b>...more on that later...<br />
<br />
Looking back at the photos I took, my second resolution to move to California was clearly influencing my eye....<br />

Unfortunately, I missed half of the show due to the crazy dealer story....<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, I was chased out of the facility for taking a picture of some baby booties. YES, it's true. I snapped a pic while the dealer was on the phone. After I took it, she asked me not to...but it was too late. She asked me to erase it...I said no...and then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. I explained that they were so cute and I am also a dealer and blogger and would like to feature them....but no, she insisted on calling security and she stormed off to management to "get me kicked out".<br />
<br />
So I waved goodbye with a smile and left.<br />
<br />
The WACKO followed me to my car and took a mug shot of my face at a 5" distance.<br />
<br />
Don't be surprised if you see me on a WANTED poster at Lakewood 400. Crap, I used to get paid for my headshots...<br />
<br />
Happy Hour might start early at Casa Russo tonight.<br />
<br />
This is for her...she obviously needs some.....<br />

Recently, I was contacted by a bachelor from Chicago to help him design a vintage inspired condo. These are some of the inspiration photos he sent me....<br />

THIS, folks, is my favorite style. Although I like to work in many different genres, and will do anything a client requests, a pared down vintage look with a European/country/bohemian flavor is what really gets me excited.</div>

The condo is small, but it has excellent bones: hardwood floors, white walls, oak doors, and it's in a groovy area of Chicago (jealous).</div>

Behind the sofa there is a wall of bifold closets. I advised him to try his hand at antiquing them with some Annie Sloan chalk paint for this effect:<br />

That will create a great backdrop for the white sofa and surrounding white walls. Inside the closet, I suggested hiding his office and painting it a moody grey....and it's done!<br />

Hi Friends!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time does get away with me, but never like this year. It is a wonder to me how working moms find the time to get it all done, and decorate the house for the holidays. With two weeks to Christmas, we are still without a tree, and most of the gifts. A big project in Florida has kept me busy up until the bitter end, but the presentation on Sunday went well, yay! Today I plan to find a tree (are there any good ones left?), and transform this joint, which up until a week ago, still had a pumpkin by the front door (have I no shame?).</div>

I hope to share what I cooked up this Christmas very soon, but in the meantime, here is a taste of our home last Christmas, shot by <b>Lauren</b> <b>Rubinstein</b> for <i>The Cottage Journal</i>. This special edition called <i>Holiday Cottage</i>, has been on newsstands since October. I have not seen any lately, so I think it's safe to share for those of you who have not seen the magazine yet. </div>

I, for one, used to be a BIG party girl....not in the wild and crazy sense (usually), but rather in a more Martha kind of way.<br />
<br />
Curating the menu, the music, the decor, and cooking all the food was such a joy. Dancing and the right outfit were also a must. Sadly, the last party I threw was over TWO years ago. (Scratch that, I also had a designer lunch last Christmas.)<br />
<br />
These days, busy work, busy kids, a traveling husband, ...aka LIFE, have turned me into a bit of a party-pooper. Is it just me, or does it seem like too much work to host a party these days?<br />
<br />
Granted, I have never been one to take the easy route....I kind of don't even know how to do that! To me, simple just seemed boring, not creative, no fun. That was until I read Annette Joseph's new book, <b style="font-style: italic;">Picture Perfect Parties. </b><br />

The two of us met while working on<a href="http://www.roomserviceatlanta.org/"> Room Service Atlanta</a>, and I have been a fan ever since. Here we are at her recent book launch hosted by Room & Board. (You can also read her interview of me on her blog, <a href="http://annettejosephstyle.com/style-id-walk-mile-lisa-gabrielson/">here</a>.)<br />

At the book signing event, Annette gave a demo of how to make mini tiramisu's in demi-tasse cups. As a food stylist, Annette explained that she first plans what sort of vessel she will use to contain the food, then plans the dish. I found this perspective so interesting!<br />
<br />
Her entire book is inspiring and full of mouth-watering, gorgeously shot and styled pictures like these:<br />

Some of her party ideas include "Retro Riviera Party" and a "Palio Celebration"...which are so exciting to me because both are RIGHT up my alley. Seasonal menus, comfort food, and ideas for family gatherings also fill the book. Even if you don't love to cook, the decorating, styling and organizational tips are out of this world cool. I know I'm inspired to plan my next party!</div>

Too bad for all of those Music Midtown fans (my daughter included), who sat in the rain yesterday for HOURS to hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Journey, and many others. I hope you have grand plans to get outside today and soak up the sun. We sure do, so here is a quick post just to share our radio podcast link with you.</div>

We are sure to provide<b> lots of laughs and stories</b> about how the two of us got started in the interior design, antiques, and wood working worlds! If you've ever heard <a href="http://www.cartalk.com/">Car Talk</a> (the most hilarious radio show ever), that's kind of what I am envisioning.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyE123CMduepv3q7m-aQFqbFTDhk-M-iaTxTL6tS172O8rZ60UpXxIP5dV06HXS5HfOZkg3UDEOs9U50T6rSEhWiLqSb29_o2RN1DFXKRVapxkefYLlDVniDUVDdKtT8OKdy0UHeKB83jI/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyE123CMduepv3q7m-aQFqbFTDhk-M-iaTxTL6tS172O8rZ60UpXxIP5dV06HXS5HfOZkg3UDEOs9U50T6rSEhWiLqSb29_o2RN1DFXKRVapxkefYLlDVniDUVDdKtT8OKdy0UHeKB83jI/s640/photo+(2).JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a special holiday edition of <i>The Cottage Journal</i> published by Hoffman Media. It is available now at Barnes & Noble, and should be at nationwide grocery stores too, through December 16th. Infinite thanks go out to photographer <a href="http://www.larphotography.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=15426&Akey=ACRTB3M7">Lauren Rubinstein</a>, who scouted and shot the feature. She made our home shine in a way it never has before! Thank you, too, to<i> The Cottage Journal </i>for your interest in the story, for putting us on the <b>cover</b>, and for the beautifully written article by Karen Callaway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you are wondering, we actually shot the pictures last January! Lauren was at our house for a Christmas party in early December, but we found out that the magazine was interested in shooting it while we were out of the country on winter break. As I am not one to take down Christmas on the 26th, the decorations were still intact and the tree was still standing, and ALIVE upon our return after New Year's! The Cottage Journal graciously gave me an allowance to freshen up the greens, and the photos were shot mid-January. How's that for getting the most out of your holiday decor? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few interesting side bits on the shoot... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cover shot was photo-shopped to make it look more festive. They changed the color of our chair and pillow from blue to red, and added the holly berries to the greens on the table so it would pop on the newsstand. Another fun detail is in what turned out to be my favorite photo. Dixie, our Golden Retriever, still loves a party and would not leave the photographers alone. Lauren, a dog-lover herself, decided to embrace the situation by putting a bow on her. There she sat, the star, all poised and pretty for the duration of the shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although they ended up using seventeen images from front to back cover, a couple of AWESOME pics did not make the cut. Here they are for you to see....</div>

Sorry for my absence lately. Some of you have told me you miss my posts, and I appreciate the feedback. Today, I am home recovering from surgery. I am doing fine, but forced to stay put....WOW, what a concept. It almost makes me feel guilty. Yesterday, I had my fair share of cooking shows and couch time. This morning, Lorenzo and I ventured out to the corner at a snail's pace. The beautiful fall weather has inspired a blog post on what I'm looking at, working on, and dreaming of these days. Here we go....<br />
<br />
But first, a little confession: I have the seven year itch. We have been in our house seven years now, and I am dying to move. For a variety of reasons, that is not happening anytime soon, like not even in the next decade. To appease my itch, inch by inch I have been whitewashing the walls, and have finally decided to take the plunge and do the family room too. In a perfect world (with no medical bills), I would also add beams and planks like this...<br />

Ciao! I hope all of you are doing well! Today I had the joy of being interviewed on<a href="http://annettejosephstyle.com/"> Annette Joseph's</a>, "I'd Walk A Mile For Your Style" blog feature. For those of you who don't know her, she is a rock star interiors stylist, designer, and cookbook author. Needless to say, Annette oozes with great taste and creativity. Her uber-hip house, which mirrors her artistic spirit, outgoing personality, her love of Italy, and cooking passion, easily makes the list of my top ten faves. It is an honor to be featured by someone who's work I admire so much. Mille Grazie, Annette.<div>
