It's been a joy to share their home decorated for this special holiday. This will be our last post, although I may put one together showing all the trees. Marie decorates 16 trees and I don't think that's counting the … [Read more...]
We're back today to tour the absolutely adorable room Marie Barnes, wife of Governor Roy Barnes, created for her four precious granddaughters. I was thinking this would be the last post but I may have one more to share with you showing their terrace level with a wonderful "gifting wrapping station." I had serious envy over that gift-wrapping room! As you enter this whimsical, delightful room … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 206th Metamorphosis Monday! Recently I shared a wonderful Christmas table setting created by Julio who blogs at Beaux Mondes Design. It was all I could do to not spill ALL the beans last Tablescape Thursday because I was dying to show you more of this wonderful cabin. When Julio and Dan bought their "Russian River Dacha" it was in need of some serious restoration love. The previous … [Read more...]

Saturday I went on a Christmas home tour with friends. We did the "combination" tour which includes a daylight tour and a candlelight tour. Each year when we go on the tour, it gives me an excuse to be a total goof ball (like I'm not the rest of the year) and decorate our Christmas chariot for the evening. I always add some faux garland to the cargo/luggage rack thingies on the top of the car. … [Read more...]

In case you missed those previous tours, here's a brief history of this historic home. In the previous posts, we … [Read more...]
