Bamboo Friday- Confirmation That Bamboo IS Best!

The blog world is RAVING about the 2018 Southern Living Idea House in Austin.

I'm joining in.

The interior designer, Meredith Ellis, did a beautiful job and used some fabulous (you guessed it) bamboo pieces in more than one room!!

So Bamboo Is Best is confirmed.

I'm a Southern gal through and through.

If it's in Southern Living or Garden and Gun then we have it on pretty good authority.

So, even though I knew Bamboo Is Best in my heart of hearts, I have O-fficial Southern undeniable confirmation!

Thank you Meredith and Southern Living!

PS. There is also a CEILING FAN in every room. I have blogged about this before. 

Even though ceiling fans have taken some pretty negative press in the blogging/IG/Pinterest world the last few years, we NEED them in the South. 

They save us through the 4 or 5 months of very warm days 

(which I love but would not want to do w/out my friend the ceiling fan!!)

Best Nine

Wrapping up 2017 with the my Best Nine from Instagram. 

It's interesting to see what has gotten the most "likes" and attention in social media.

It's also interesting that they are probably not the nine
 I would say were my "best" of the year.

They don't include family or friends or time we spent together (except for a sweet photo of Chloe and Mollie near the end of our time with Chloe) or any of my travels to work in emerging countries or high risk areas here in the US. 
I think these are some of my "best" times.

I guess these are my "prettiest" nine  :)

A new endeavor for Mollie and me this year was a booth at Westside Market in Atlanta. 

You can follow along on Instagram to see what the latest and greatest is in our booth!

This is our Best Nine from Elizabeth and Payne and it is obviously all about the bamboo, blue and white and chinoiserie!

Thank you for following along in 2017.

Wishing everyone a fabulous 2018!!

Bamboo Friday #9

Wow - Bamboo Friday #9.

This week it is all about the amazing bamboo pieces that Lindsey Coral Harper used in the Southern Living Idea House on Bald Head Island, NC.

I understand that some of the pieces are from her private collection.

Cannot get over this chair!!

I've never seen anything like it!

And another fab chair. 

(We have a very similar desk right now at @elizabethandpayne )

Check out more great bamboo pieces on LCH's blog.

*Loving that orange lamp, too!

Have a great weekend!

Maybe you will find some great vintage bamboo at a thrift store or yard sale!
