Happy 2014!

2014 is already shaping up to be a great year.  In 2 days Elbow Room will premiere on the DIY Network.  There will be a block of shows so be sure to tune in on Friday, January 3rd at 3pm.  They'll be airing Seasons 1 and 2 while we are hard at work on Season 3.  Season 3 is set to premiere on HGTV sometime in late Spring 2014.  We've filmed 6 episodes of the 3rd Season and have 7 more to go.

Another great happening in 2014 will be the addition of a sweet little girl in June.  I'm expecting another little one.  Billy and I are thrilled and can't wait for Chase to have a sister!

In June 2013, I started a rebranding of my company.  The rebranding of Cristi Holcombe Interiors, LLC is almost complete and my website should be launching within days.  The blog has also gotten a facelift.  I'll continue to use Charm Home as my blog and Twitter handle but will use Cristi Holcombe Interiors for the official company business.  

I'm looking forward to 2014 and hope that you are too!  

Here's to a great one! xoxo

A Lot of THis & A Lot of That

Is it seriously the middle of June!!  How does time fly by like that?  Filming for Elbow Room ended two months ago but the summer has been busy, busy, busy.  I picked up a heaping handful of new clients as soon as the show season ended and haven’t stopped since. 

I’m in the midst of planning two bathroom renovations for my own home too.  I’m such a huge procrastinator when it comes to doing design work for myself.  I’ve had tons of bathrooms and bathroom fixtures pinned for inspiration for a while now though.  All I have to do is narrow it down and make some serious decisions.  Our bathroom renovation will start in about a month which is so soon. 

Amy D. Morris, you steal my heart with this one.

Love this vanity

Definitely doing the paneling somewhere.

Love the color in this design, which I’m pretty sure is Erika Powell’s, but don’t know if I want to commit to a color in the bathrooms.

Most definitely love this vanity for our master bath.

Thinking of doing chrome and brass accents.  Love these Hudson Valley sconces.

And I love the look of this sink faucet.  Great price too, but I would prefer to have chrome.

Decisions decisions…Hopefully I can make some soon. 

With all that has been going on with Charm Home I’ve neglected my own home quite a bit.  I couldn’t have been more excited when the people of Homejoy, a California based cleaning service, contacted me about trying out their services.  They have just opened an Atlanta division of the company.  The booking process is so simple and easy.  You can purchase your home cleaning service online in about 5 minutes.  I scheduled my cleaning service and immediately received a follow up email letting me know who would be cleaning my home.  My cleaning professional, Lauren, showed up on time and did such a great job with my home.  She was also really sweet to our dog, who  happens to hate cleaning equipment.  Our house was the cleanest it’s been since we moved in.  I’m so looking forward to using Homejoy again in the near future.  You should definitely try it out if you have been looking for someone to help with your home.  If you are wondering about pricing you can easily get a quick quote on the site.  I give the whole process 2 thumbs up!

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Show house & Gardens

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend the ASO 43rd Annual Decorator’s Show House and Gardens opening night party.  Billy and I got all dolled up for the event and had so much fun touring the home.  We ran into some of our friends there and had a blast hanging out with them.

This years show house was absolutely stunning. Of course, what do you expect when you are dealing with some of the city's hottest designers.  Melanie Turner, Michael Habachy and Courtney Giles just to name a few. 

I think my favorite spot of the entire home was the front staircase and vestibule, but I don’t have a picture of it.  Pictures weren’t allowed at the party or you better believe I would have snapped a ton of them.  It was very reminiscent of this Kelly Wearstler favorite.

My second was the kitchen. Brass pendant lights…HAVE. TO. HAVE. THESE. NOW.

 

I would have absolutely no problem waking up in this master bedroom every day.

Nor would I have a problem taking a bath in this bathroom.

Doesn’t everyone have a wall of framed coral in their home?  If not, they should. 

The ASO Decorator’s Show House is open through May 12th so definitely head over and check it out. There is so much more to be seen than what’s in these few pictures. 

An even better idea would be to visit the Show House over the weekend and then pop over to ADAC May 3rd – 5th to purchase something for your home during the Annual Sample Sale.  At 80% off you can make your home look like a show house too. Well, it’s a good thought anyway. 

Happy decorating!
