MADISON UPDATE

Good Lord y'all....yesterday [Monday] just about killed me.  I started putting out "design" fires at 9:30 and the fun never stopped.

I was installing curtains at my Madison project and when we opened the hardware box there was only one rod instead of 2.  Whaaaaaa. This would not have been a big deal except for the fact that it's 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta so it's not cheap to get these babies installed!

I learned that some furniture I was waiting for got sent back to North Carolina because of a warehouse snafu.  #designerproblems

Did I have a sign on my back that said "kick me"?

Oh well....nothing some pretty pictures can't fix!

I have a few updated pictures of Madison [you can see all the before and afters if you search Madison in the sidebar]....

Y'all remember where we started right?

Clearing out the weeds and trimming things back [nothing was planted] I was amazed at how good it looked!

And the swing we ordered came....

Of course now we need them to make a coffee table and bench!

And we need cushions for the rockers....

Before of the bedroom.....

After with curtains [blackout lined from Pottery Barn]

And a new chair

Moved the other one into the bathroom.....and hung a gallery wall.

I am all over these short curtains....it's my new jam:)

We moved this bench back into the mud room to make way for the Serena and Lily one.

And upstairs the small table on the right got painted.....

We made notes for more updates....still have to get another curtain rod sucks unfortunate situation.

I've got 2 days to do a week worth of tasks. Leaving for Chicago on Thursday.

MADISON BEFORE AND AFTER PART 3

Thanks for all of my birthday wishes.....You guys are the best!  I knew 7 years ago when I started blogging and let you all into my life that I was making the right decision:)

Now that I am officially old I am going to be more responsible and less snarky here on the blog.....

Brahahahahaha.

Amidst all of this birthday talk I forgot to show you the last pictures of the Madison Project updates....we are almost done.

Starting with some of the purchases we made in the beginning.....

The rug and drum light fixture came from Rejuvenation.  The coffee table and chair came from Stanton Home Furnishings.

For some reason I can't find the before picture that had the original curtains hanging.....

First of all these aren't the original chairs.....she had them in her Atlanta home and we painted them. We just threw some ready mades up on the same rods.....so weird I ordered 96" and they were plenty tall enough on the other walls.....oh well.....it's not like this is going in Elle Decor:)

This bench was out in the mudroom so we moved it.....

Before

Again with some PB curtains....

This is actually where the TV will go.

Before....brown everywhere.

I rearranged the furniture so that the sofa didn't block the entrance into the room.....

Scary huh?  

After

This coffee table gave me a fit with those metal straps grrrrrr.....made it hard for placement.

I got the bowl at HG's, the 2 candlesticks at a flea market, the white filtration balls at Scott's and put them in a black tray from Target.  The pillows from Sudi.  She had the rug in her Atlanta home.

This black and white picture from a consignment store and the white vases from Target.

We had the doors painted....

This is the downstairs bathroom.

Painted the vanity, mirror and got a new light fixture.

 Fresh white towels make everything better right?

This job is what I like to call a "zhush on steroids"!  Nothing huge but some paint and a few purchases made a big difference to brighten this place up.

If you want to see where we started just search Madison!

Alrighty then...enjoy the weekend!
