A little off the usual subject, but here are some pics from my trip to Oxford this past weekend for the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game. (I stole a few from friends)… Not much better than a college football weekend in the Grove! Hope to make it back for one more before the season’s over! Go Rebs, and Hotty Toddy!
Check out my latest Before and After. The original design boards and pictures are also shown on my conceptual design and design portfolio. This was one of my favorite jobs to date– the client wanted cheery and bright, light and airy. The home was purchased –as is– with dark, West Indes inspired furniture that we removed and started from scratch. It was truly a labor of love, and the clients are more than thrilled with their new beachfront oasis. Enjoy!

ANYTHING Allison Wickey! I won this GORGEOUS 24″x60″ landscape, titled “Hey” in a Foodforthought.com auction. A great piece of art in support of a great cause!
Check out Allison’s website to see her latest works for purchase and inspiration!
…. I’m building a house! I look forward to documenting my progress right here on my blog. I’m excited, nervous, antsy… all of the above! Stay tuned for regular updates on the building process, and to see my design inspiration and ideas.
Stage 1: Lot has been cleared, and permit has been pulled! It’s a start!

I learned so much about painting at the social. What I enjoyed the most was combining my knowledge of light in photography to a different medium. There is a great connection between painting and photography. I did not realize this until the social.
You can plan an art social with your friends by visiting Velia’s website at www.velialala.com. She also sells her lovely art which is beautiful displayed throughout her home. Her next social is on Monday, March 10th 2014 at 5:30. Sign up now… you will not regret it!”
SO, I purchased my first original Justin Gaffrey painting. It was commissioned back in July. So, as you can imagine, I was ecstatic to get a call from the artist himself saying it was completed! As you probably already know, I’m a huge advocate of investing in original art, as it’s value only appreciates with time. I took some pictures of his work studio and gallery in Blue Mountain Beach this last time I was there. His art work is so unique and dimensional. If you’re ever in the area, I encourage you to stop by his gallery in the Seaside circle, or visit his studio in Blue Mountain Beach, where you might even get a glimpse of him painting.
Enjoy!
AND NOW.. drumroll please! Here’s my new painting! I absolutely love it!
While in school, I had the pleasure of working for an NKBA accredited kitchen and bath design firm. I learned so much about the ins and outs of kitchen design. They are located in downtown Birmingham, and do absolutely BEAUTIFUL and classic design work. A “Cantley kitchen” never goes out of style. The cabinets are made locally, so everything they do is custom. Take a look at some of their swoon-worthy design work. Much success in the future, Cyndy and Keith!
Another one of my favorite local artists — check out the amazingly talented, Allison Wickey. She creates beautiful art, and I’ve had the pleasure of using her work for quite a few of my design jobs. She is so talented, and very diverse in subject matter. Her style involves a roughly 13 step, 4 day process using venetian plaster, acrylic paint, glazes, and an orbital sander. If you’re local, go check out her new gallery in Seacrest Beach. Enjoy!
Mary Hong is a true artist in every sense of the word. She is truly a trendsetter, and her art blends with any style and taste. I use at least one “mary” on each of my design jobs these days. She is a great local SoWal artist, and she does custom pieces as well. Everything she does is magnificent! Not to mention, she was my first piece of original art when I moved into my new condo. The beautiful 4’x4′ canvas she did for me is directly over my sofa, and set the tone for the my entire living room.
For those of you SoWal locals.. she is now offering classes! Check out her website for a schedule.
Take a look at just some of the beautiful things she has created, and prepare to be amazed. GO MARY!
