MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.....

I am not gonna lie....it was a tough holiday season and I have never spent more time home just being downright sad.

That's no surprise....It's been almost 6 months since my sister passed away and since I live so close to her.....I was really feeling the void.

I only went to 2 events over the holidays....one was the Atlanta Botanical Garden Holiday Nights [such a fun thing to do if you have not gone] and the other was a Christmas party.....

I watched a lot of TV and stayed home with Cami.  I worked out and hung out at my neighbors.  They like to do those 5 million piece puzzles and I learned that I suck at those:)  The only thing I brought to the situation was a lot of complaining about how hard it was.....nobody likes a complainer....haha.

I was working on one project.....finishing out a basement of a job with Ladisic Fine Homes.  You know how it is when you have completed a year long renovation....you just need to take some time off and breathe so it had been a little over a year and they decided to ramp up again....

This is how we left it after they moved in.....

We got the oak wood paneling done and the wallpaper in before Christmas!

The barstools are from Gabby Home.....very comfy!

The light fixture was from Regina Andrews.

There is a dart board in the cabinet.

I swear the Thibaut wallpaper was a game changer....I mean the paint was good [which we did before Thanksgiving because I couldn't get that paper hung until after....] but this vinyl paper is just so good!

I found these 2 vintage Bernhardt leather chairs for the room.....

You know I love to put something vintage in a space and since they have 3 boys....it's perfect that I did not spend 3 times what I paid for these.....for brand new ones that of course I would probably not get for a year!

I ordered a poker table and then started looking for chairs....whoa mama.

Chairs would be up to 9 months out so I found some vintage ones on Charish and scored some beautiful mohair at Scott's to have them recovered with!

The plaid is for pillows in the chairs and to cover 2 benches with! Pretty pumped about my luck!

I'm a crafty gal:)

Anyway.....I hope y'all are all relaxed from a great Holiday season.....I appreciate all of your support over the last 2 years with what has gone on in my life....
