In Lieu of Southern Accents: Marjorie Johnston & Co.

When I saw this first image on the main page of Marjorie Johnston & Co it pretty much took my breath away. The Gallery Foyer Marjorie H. Johnston and Wendy Wooden Barze designed for the 2009 Birmingham Decorators' Showhouse is a classic, elegant room full of interest and energy. Love all the repetition of the curves, from the bureau to the high backed bench to the stunning metal frame encircling the small portrait. To see more, go here.

Richard Taylor at Pottery Barn & a Giveaway

"After years of experimentation, English artist Richard Taylor perfected the difficult craft of mold making. His artistry allows him to create original pieces that showcase his great skill and eye for detail. Made from his original molds with details that are hand carved by Richard, our planters feature two rounded handles and a decorative double ridge."
The Handled Planters above are available in 4 sizes, ranging from $12 - $99.



In honor of Richard's work being carried by Pottery Barn, I'm having a giveaway. The winner will have a choice of the Fluted Urn or a small Handled Planter or Leaf Pot. Just leave a comment by Monday night 9 pm Eastern.
*UPDATE* - Jean of the blog Downsizing in San Francisco is the winner. Congrats Jean!

Why I Love curateDE!

How do you use curateDE?: First, log in with your facebook or twitter account. From 50+ sources, select the ones that you would like to read and add to "Your Sources". This will automatically edit and leave out the ones you are not interested in. You can select up to a maximum of 30 sources ( which is a maximum of 200 articles/posts). Every time you visit curateDE, you can quickly browse through the article lead-ins in "MY Page" and click on those you want to read more about, which then takes you to the article's original sources. In my opinion, that's a huge plus that makes curateDE stand out from other portals.
curateDE is designed to "ping" the latest articles and posts posted on web sites and blogs when they are "tweeted" by some one. Similar to an RSS feed except it's been designed it to only ping a portion or one photograph and only the first couple of text lines on the original post or article. The more the article/post is tweeted/shared, the more likely it will appear on curateDE. I also love the Wednesday and Sunday curateDE Edition. In the last month, I've come across great design content I normally wouldn't have if it wasn't for curateDE. Be sure to check it out.
To join in all the fun, I've recently created a twitter account for My Notting Hill here & installed a share button at the end of each post. (...no need to give details on how long it took me to figure that out.)
Back tomorrow to start off a week devoted to Scott Antiques Market & the amazing design stores of Atlanta.

Brass Clams & Back from Scott Antique Market
This is completely frustrating as I've just returned from my first ever trip to Scott Antique Market and there's so much eye candy trapped in my camera.

Giant Ball or Clam? in my fireplace
Me: I think I want to put one of the giant balls from the backyard into the fireplace?
Dan: What?
Me: The giant clam has been done before; it's even appeared on a magazine cover. I'm just copying.
Dan: Nobody who comes to our house will know that.
Me: Yes, they will.
Dan: Didn't you just spend hours arranging all those shells inside the clam?
Me: Are you going to help me or not? I think I can roll it in if you aren't.
Me: I like this better. Don't you think it's odd and funny in a cool way?
Dan: It looks like a meteroid fell down our chimney.
Me: ...walk away...
Me: ...return to living room later to be greeted by a happy, smiling giant ball
What do you think? Ball or Clam?
