some showhouse....

do you ever feel like "blogging" is such a silly thing? i mean at times, i think "why am i doing this"...and then there are times like yesterday when i sit and have lunch for two hours talking with the sweetest girl from UEco, who i haven't seen in two years but found me b/c of my blog. weird...but so worth it. we had the best time talking "design" and she is a bundle of information when it comes to cool designers....
hence, the reserve showhouse...brought to my attention b/c i was told i must check out beth webb (who i seriously LOVE but b/c i don't have a mac, i can't get the photos off of her site- story of my life, it pains me). but in a round about way, i found the atlanta homes and lifestyles' showhouse collaboration b/w beth webb and summerour and associate (fabulous, fabulous architect and design group on atl)...
so i'll let the pictures speak for themselves...yea, i know- it's great, right??!!

the bathrooms...

here are some of the bathrooms in the house that i am working on. the master is my personal favorite. we used a lot of marble in the bathrooms as counter tops, subway tiles, and then in a basket weave on the floor of the master. the tub in the master is waterworks candide in burnish. penny rounds were used in two of the guest baths (love them...great floor tile for anyone building or remodeling).

my work...

so one of the houses i am working on is almost finished and i wanted to show y'all some pics. the kitchen is one of my favorite spots. the house is on sullivan's so we went w/ a coastal look. shaker style cabinetry is definitely where i tend to lean...we did mix in beadboard for the island (its painted eliza lucas, one of my favorite colors- the brand use to be lord and evans but its from the historic charleston collection and i think SW owns it now). the counter top is calcutta marble honed. the refrigerator is a sub zero glass pro 48" w/ glass door. i persuaded the clients to use a white viking b/c i have been in love with suzanne kasler's 04' southern accent showhouse FOREVER (its crazy that i still love something that was designed 4 yrs ago- which makes suzanne even a more awesome designer). the bridge faucet is by rohl in polished nickel. the subway tile backsplash is waterworks (i wish you could see the sheen, its just gorgeous in person). and the lights are 19" harmon pendants in polished nickel from restoration hardware.

* sorry i am terrible at taking pics...i hope to have a professional shoot the house when everything is done. i'll show you more pics later on of the house....
