Off to Atlanta

I am off to Atlanta this weekend to attend the Atlanta Market and to speak on a great panel at AmericasMart.  Maxwell Gilingham-Ryan of Apartment Therapy, Christiane Lemieux of DwellStudio and I will be discussing Daily Design: How the Everyday Inspirations from Blogs Change the Industry on Saturday, January 14 from 3:00-4:00pm in Building 1, Floor 14, Seminar Room. A cocktail meet and greet and book signing will follow so I hope everyone attending the Market will stop by and say hello!

I also look forward to catching up with friends in Atlanta including interior designer Courtney Giles and stopping into chic stores like Pieces, Sid Mashburn and Ann Masburn. Hope ya'll don't miss me too too much while I'm gone but you can always follow my adventures on twitter. 

Bon Weekend! 

Designer to Watch: Courtney Giles

I have no doubt that if Domino was still around, they would name Atlanta interior designer Courtney Giles one of their designers to watch! You may remember Courtney from her feature in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and on Brilliant Asylum's chic blog and she just launched her new website, Courtney Giles Interiors, where you can check out her beautiful work. Her style can be traditional southern or glamorous and modern and always includes fabulous art which has led her to add art consulting to her repertoire. I got to know Courtney about a year ago when she was living in New York City and can honestly say that she is as nice as she is talented! I was sad to see her leave New York but it is clear that Atlanta is lucky to have her back where she belongs! She is definitely one to watch!
