Steve and I are off to Atlanta tomorrow. This trip came about in a very bloggy way. My new friend, Angela from WA and I were talking on the phone. Although she calls herself Angela from WA, she is actually a Southern gal and her descriptions of Atlanta in her gorgeous Southern drawl were too much for me to resist. Next thing I knew, we had planned our whirl-wind trip. Arrive in Atlanta Thursday night. Scott's Antique Market on Friday. a tour of the city and a visit to Mrs. Howard's with Veranda's Leslie Newsom on Saturday.....
Leslie and her mother, Lisa Newsom, editor of Veranda Magazine (the magazine also known as my design bible) were nice enough to take time out of their recent family vacation in Santa Barbara to visit us at our home in Channel Islands. I couldn't have been happier! What could be better than meeting two women who have shaped my idea of great design?
So, I'm very excited about our trip, but I also have an insane fear of flying. I know, I've heard it all: Flying is the safest way to travel.... Nothing helps. Poor Steve has permanent scars on his arms from my clenching. I am truly surprised that any airlines will let me on a flight after the last flight (a little turbulence, a lot of crying and screaming...).
Anyway, to keep me from thinking about tomorrow's flight, I thought I would do a post on another bathroom that we finally finished.
The Ann Sacks iridescent mosaic tile is amazing. We used industrial fixtures from Liza Sherman for the ceiling lights.
The bath is on the other side of the bathroom.
Love that lavender velvet seat cushion. I know it's hard to tell, but the tile picks up all of the colors in the room, the citrus green on the walls, the lavender of the towels and glass knobs, the colors in the rubber duckies (well maybe not, but they are awfully cute).
So, I promise to post from Atlanta. Wish Steve luck with surviving the flight and all of that arm squeezing.
