Then we go to Atlanta for our major January shopping
trip,where all of next season's themes are figured out.... the blood
starts flowing...the ideas start coming, and the cute stuff starts
appearing before our eyes and Voila! We know it's going to be another
killer Holiday Design House.
I thought it might be fun to give a little insight into what goes into creating the house and let you know how its coming along.


Next when it becomes apparent that the freight train is winning we
bring in the high school recruits all lined along long tables, laughing,
eating and pricing Christmas bears, balls garlands....

Some rooms are no brainers like "letters to Santa"...we found a
killer life sized Santa who sits at a desk and gorgeous ribbons with
letters to Santa printed on them....soooo cute.
Once
everything is set, furniture, trees, lighting, the ornaments start
coming into the house...once they start rolling in Amy personally styles
each and every room.( because she is ridiculously good at it!) ..it
will take her one full day per room...which is two weeks!

Holy Crap Batman!!! right about now we have a come to Jesus meeting
and she delegates out the spaces she will not be able to get to...such
as the barn, , front porch, bathroom, outdoor areas...and we start to
figure out how to get these areas up to par with the beautiful house.
This year we will be hosting 60 extra vendors that will stretch from Lucketts Store on over to the Design House so that should make all of this even more awesome than usual.

Will there be only holiday themed shopping this weekend?? Or are other vintage/antiques included?
ReplyDeleteI really hope I had the chance to visit you this weekend, Suzanne. I can imagine the enormous preparations that you've done for the open house. Holidays are the best times to refresh ourselves and think of possible redecorating ideas for your house. At the same time, events like open houses can be a great start in planning for your new house. Thanks for the post! :)
