Country Living Fair 2012
Last weekend my friend Dorothy and I attended the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain outside Atlanta. This is the 3rd year that Country Living has brought the fair to Atlanta and the weekend couldn’t have been more ideal.
What I love most about the fair is seeing all the amazing handcrafted and vintage goods. The selection ranges from rustic to chic and there is something for everyone.
Here’s Dorothy standing by the signature pumpkin stack at the entrance of the fair.
There was lots of original hand painted art. I love the bowl of red flowers on the red background.
Every year the Country Living shop has some wonderful tablescapes on display!
I spotted those round wine barrel corks with the numbers for only $2.00 at a vendor.
Love this pumpkin flower vase. A hole was cut into the pumpkin and the bottom of a plastic water bottle was inserted to hold the flowers.
All of the Country Living Books were on sale at the CL store. These were two of my favorites!
There were so many incredible pieces of jewelry for sale Lots of beautiful junk, vintage pieces and findings repurposed into beautiful necklaces.
If you love “junk’ this was the place to be.
Lots of industrial furniture and accessory pieces.
These handcrafted pillow covers were so cute.
An old door knob turned picture holder.
These wings made from rolled sheet music were stunning!
I loved this vintage iron wall sculpture!
One of my favorite vendors, Happy Chair was back again this year with some awesome designs. Check out the wood pediment on the top of this chair.
This floor clock was made from various machine parts and vintage pieces. Crafted by Jill Schwartz.
I so wanted to buy this vintage sign. Too cute!
The Sisters on The Fly were there again with their amazing trailers.
More industrial pieces.
This vendor had so many cool vintage scales for sale.
And, everywhere you looked there were bins and baskets full of vintage goodies.
I’m already looking forward to the Country Living Fair next year. It makes for a great outing and I always get my fill of design inspiration!
Room of the Week–Closet Inspiration
I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to My Dream Closet. Most of the images are over-the-top elaborate, extremely large and filled with elegant details. While most of us dream of a closet space like that I’m also drawn to a small and intimate closet space like this one.

I love that this armoire was given a new life and turned into a special space to showcase the finishing touches to a wardrobe. The hooks to hold necklaces and bracelets are ideal to add function and the mirrored doors make this the perfect spot to primp.
Every fashion treasure has its own space and is made to feel special. That is the makings of a great closet!
And, this makes me think of armoires in a whole new way!
Enjoy the first weekend of October!

Room of The Week: Eclectic Style
Definition of ECLECTIC
1: selecting what appears to be best in various doctrines, methods, or styles
2 : composed of elements drawn from various sources; also : heterogeneous
My personal style is eclectic and I love nothing more than mixing styles, finishes, colors and textures to create a space that feels as if it came from the soul versus from an established design style.
This bedroom is a perfect example of eclectic style with its mixed wood finishes, all relatable but yet unique and independent.
The mix of old world styling, classic details and traditional touches help to create a space that feels collected and curated.
Spaces that feel personal and effortless like this one, are what I love most!

Attention To Details
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is set to make this week a great one!
For me, this week is all about the details…lots of big and little projects to cross off the list and all of them involve making the little things count.
Just like in design….
The addition of this small tray to corral perfume bottles not only give the bottles more impact but give the tabletop more style!
Tall candles create the reflection and the drama! Shorter candles would be lost in the mix.
Cording, trim and nailheads add the finishing touch!
Even the detail of the chevron pattern bricks inside the firebox add to the style of this room.
It could have stopped at the bottom of the stairs and been a straight finish but the details make this spectacular!
Not just your ordinary curtain tieback!
The view from the front is just as important as the view from the back!
It’s not just a cup, now it’s a beautiful flower vase!
Cheers to making the most of every little thing!
