updates, updates, updates

Talk about crazy. Between big interior jobs, construction, preparing for a fun sale, 3 out of our 4 studio computers crashing, surgeries, sickness…you name it, it’s happened…we have been nuts over here!!! Few quick updates on what’s going on the AFGID and Parish side and on the Gilbreath home front.

Super, super, super fun project we have going on at the beach…and I mean ON THE BEACH. Y’all would die if you saw these views. Not to mention, there is a little, or I should say a lot of FAME associated with the job. Much more to come later. Here is a quick shot of the inspirational palette we are working with. We are installing mid April. Can’t wait to show off the pics. One of my favorite jobs thus far…

On the PARISH side, there is a BIG SALE and an all day Wine Down Wednesday coming up tag teamed with an awesome one of a kind vintage jewelry show from an Atlanta designer (check out some of the beautiful pieces here: Vintage Green Jewelry) and our Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting all on this coming Wednesday the 28th. So, those of you spring breaking it the wonderful Montgomery, come stop by. Not kidding, this jewelery is AMAZING.

On the personal side, my P-Pi had to have her tubes redone after just 6 weeks, her adenoids removed and her sinuses flushed this past Friday. She did great; her Mom did not. I seriously cried like a baby as they went to take my screaming, scared to death child out of my arms. Good news is, in the last 3 days, I have not wiped a nose even once!!!!!!! Pray this continues. It is so nice to have a well child, even if it only lasts for a few days. On top of her surgery, Lawyer (my first baby) got fixed, the whole fam had the stomach bug (including a hospital stay for me), Annie, our fabulous nanny, has been in the hospital for almost a week with conjestive heart failure (she’s out now and doing great)… My precious Mom came to save the day and has been with us for several days. Couldn’t live without her. I think Cates is liking her better than me. Not kidding.

Cates 2 days after surgery...is that not the cutest fanny ever?!

Happy girl!!

Needless to say, some fun things are coming up and life is good and super crazy. Stay tuned for more pics of the progress on the Cloverdale house redo. Fingers crossed it will be done in 6 weeks. (Just one more thing to add to the craziness.)

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Fabric of the Week

Our current favorite fabric find is the new spring collection from Galbraith & Paul.

Their patterns are block printed by hand in their Philadelphia studio on a variety of linens and velvets. Since they’re done by hand, it allows a client to pick from about 100 colors!

We just love the fun, fresh colors they are offering for spring!

Check out some of our favorites…

They even offer wallpaper! You can see all the subtle surfaces and textures – making their wallpaper even more unique!

In case you haven't heard....wallpaper is back IN! Don't be afraid to add a little pattern and texture to your walls!

Brighten up your house with some pillows in fresh colors like these for Spring – hopefully it’ll be here before we know it!

If you are interested in any fabric or wallpaper pricing, just let us know.

A little happy…

In my opinion, there are few things better than finding a little unexpected good design detail. We have been at Alys Beach this week for a Gilbreath Family vacation and stayed in a great house…actually there isn’t a not great house in Alys. Here are a few pics of one of the bathroom tub/showers. The shower curtain and liner looked totally modern and seamless.

Love how clean this looks.  It is timeless, no fuss and classic.  NOT your typical shower curtain.

To get this look you will need a little seamstress help (unless you are super talented in this area).  You need a custom curtain and liner made with grommet holes and two ceiling mount traverse rods.  One plus of a custom shower liner is it is machine washable.  Makes for a happy bathroom.
