We’ve decked the halls, y’all! Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles presents their Christmas House in the lovely Chastain Park neighborhood, and Team Farmer is so glad to have a wonderful space to decorate! This is the last weekend to tour the house, so scoot on over!
With the help of Sami my assistant extraordinaire, Jason my project manager and Martin and Aaron from McCorquedale Transfer providing lifting, logistics and smarts, and of course, the ever gracious, fun, talented and best pal a Farmer can have Maggie Griffin, we got our room together and the house opened to the public.
Taking
inspiration from the traditions of Christmases past with an eye for the
future and staring up at a stairwell just begging to be a gallery, our
Mudroom and Back Stair Hall became a warm and classic space with a touch
of Christmas chic and a nod to a few of this Farmer’s Favorite things –
red cabin check, Oushak rugs, blue and white china, simple greenery,
red bows, and a Farmer’s dozen fabulous works of art depicting
bucolic cow scenes – all on loan from the wonderful folks at The Madison Gallery through Foxglove Antiques.
I
wanted the space to feel as if I found painting after painting stowed
away in my grandmother’s attic - or maybe a great aunt - and collected these
treasures for my gallery-like arrangement on a stair wall. This display creates a heavenly scene leading
the way to the guest room with exquisite paintings of farm life and this Farmer’s favorite
farm animal, cows. I guess this is the result from growing up on a
cattle farm.
We
had a blast decorating the space and I cannot wait for the next show
house – they are always an amazing opportunity! Hope y’all can make it!
