Giveaway...

*This giveaway is closed*

This weeks giveaway comes from FLOR modular carpet. FLOR's 2010 Fall catalog is out with all their new fall patterns and they are sure to please. FLOR offered to send me a 5 x7 area rug to review and one to all the readers. I selected the Posh Croc in Wheat. I am very pleased with its look and texture; it is very soft on your bare feet! And just as described, it is an irregular grid of loop pile overlays on soft cut pile, which creates a lovely tone-on-tone and texture-on-texture appearance.

FLOR is giving on reader a 5 x 7 rug of their choice from the following patterns:
 ~In Stitches
~More Rockin
~Posh Croc
~Road to Damaskus
~Mag-Neat-O
~Making Waves

New Meets Old...

While working in Atlanta I was a part of the design team at Beth Webb Interiors and worked on this home from start to finish. I truly enjoyed working with the homeowners and the team assembled to create this English style home.

Garden Party...

Last night Tracery Interiors graciously hosted a garden party at Doug's home. It was a lovely evening to meet Doug and Paige and to visit with other Birmingham bloggers: Marianne, Brooke, Paula, and Jennifer. I have always enjoyed seeing Doug's home through Tracery's blog, but it was such a treat to see it in person and admire all the details. And if you haven't heard yet, Tracery is expanding and is opening a shop in Birmingham in Mountain Brook Village. I cannot wait! Thank you Doug and Paige for a wonderful evening! Happy Weekend!
