Were you able to feast your eyes last December with a visit to Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles' Home for the Holidays Showhouse? If you didn't make it, you can catch up on all the design inspiration in their February issue. We're big fans of AH&L and love what they're doing with their showhouse series: bringing together the best, brightest and most talented design talent … [Read more...]
Newbies Before and After
We always love receiving a new container of one-of-a-kinds and antiques, but perhaps it’s never more fun than when we're doing it with newbies experiencing it for the first time. That’s what happened this week when two new employees (whom we will introduce you to at another time) were there to help, box cutters in hand, excited with every reveal. Seeing it through the … [Read more...]
Townhome living: yes or no?
Lately, I've been a little obsessed with a very Atlanta-centric trend: townhome living. Just like that, we're officially empty-nesters. One birdie is finishing college soon and the other chickadee actually has a real job, a real salary and a real place to live. Are they ever coming home to live? Probably not...which leaves us figuring out our next step. After we sold the … [Read more...]
A Paris Renovation
A client asked our design team recently, after reading our blog post, Place Dauphine: A before and after Renovation, “Wow, how do you get all these great gigs?” We’re the first to tell you that we pinch ourselves when these come through, because they are great gigs, and we love doing them. But how does it happen when we are an ocean away? And how can we pull off the final … [Read more...]

MEET DESIGNER KATE LIGHT (AND HER COOL MOM!)
We often talk about how much we love our trips to France: The sites, the shopping, the food, the beauty, the camaraderie and the unexpected surprises, like adorable Mother/Daughter duos. For some reason, our trips cater to this terrific two-some, and our last shopping trip to Paris was no exception! Meet the dynamic designing duo, Kate Light and her darling designer … [Read more...]
Room service? I’ll have some original art, please!
I just got back from a magical eight days in England. My little family and I decided to make it a family trip to coincide with our daughter's start at Oxford. She's studying there for the semester and none of us had ever been. (We spent Christmas in London first but more about that later.) What a great time we had and how beautiful is Oxford. Even better was the delightful … [Read more...]
Our Top 10 Winners
It’s the New Year and, in addition to cleaning our closets, making new lists of resolutions, buying the latest exercise clothes, and starting new chapters, some of us have spent the last few days poring over last year’s blog data. Although this doesn’t sound very sexy, it’s actually really interesting to us because it helps us get to know you better. We look at which of our … [Read more...]
Happy birthday to my mother. She’s 100!
Hello! It's me, Meg. I'm here to tell you a little bit about my wonderful and witty mother, Eileen, who just turned 100 years old on December 15th. Can you believe that? 100 years old! Her birthdate is December 15, 1918. Just for some scale, she was born the month after World War One ended. There's not nearly enough room or time to tell you everything about Eileen - or … [Read more...]
A Huff’ington Christmas
It's Secret Santa time at HHH, which means that we are all sneakily lurking around our chosen recipients to figure out what they have their eye on for the Huff'ington Super Secret Santa list. We try to read clues, like, “Did Barb just rave about that new pitcher?” or “Have you noticed Alex sniffing around the Belgian soaps?” Some of us drop shameless hints, like: “You can … [Read more...]
