Sorry about disappearing over the last few days, but some exciting new things are happening. I won't tell everything, but one really really cool development is my site's new logo!
Andy Carlyle, a friend and designer here in Atlanta, tweaked my old one and came up with this. I know I'm biased, but I think it's pretty fantastic! I adore the "k". Thanks Andy! If you'd like to see more of his work (which is definitely worth looking at), check it out here.
On another note, last weekend I took to Savannah with my mom to go to the Scottish games and wander around downtown. While I won't go into detail about every stop, there are 3 gems I just have to share.
First, Leopold's Ice Cream. I won't say it tops a cone filled with Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy, but it is really really good. There's almost always a line and is decorated with tons of movie memorabilia since it is owned by Stratton Leopold, a famous movie producer. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, anyone?
Next stop was the Paris Market. It never ceases to amaze me. I just love the high end flea market feel of it all and was immediately fell in love with their vintage vibe. Here are a few shots from there-
the upstairs is filled with books, soaps, jewelry, etc
while the downstairs is filled with beautiful furniture. Please excuse the animal heads. Not as keen on those.
I need these :)
then again, this mirrored feature with the chandelier is pretty awesome too.
the place is full of chandeliers and beautiful furniture. See that brown velvet chair in the lower right hand corner? yep. I fell for that one hard.
Our house will somehow incorporate these ceilings...
and the beautiful mosaic tiles... oh and see those drapes? Ignore the metallic sheen since that's only because of my camera. In actuality they are gorgeous chocolate brown silk with a modern silver motif. And are apparently discontinued. I couldn't convience the woman to let me buy them from the store, which is too bad because they would be perfect for our bedroom.
