artist trifecta scavenger hunt winner

on friday night billy and i attended a gallery opening for the artist trifecta scavenger hunt winners.  the castleberry hill gallery artist trifecta held a photographic scavenger hunt a few weeks ago.  artists were given a series of items to “find” and they had to interpret these items, photograph, edit and return them within a short length of time.  the time limit was something crazy like 9 hours. 

atlanta photographer and blogger blayne beacham of this photographer’s life took home the grand prize!  it was no surprise to me that blayne won.  blayne just did a guest blog for charm home a few weeks ago (here’s the link in case you missed it).  if you haven’t seen her work you definitely have to check it out on her blog.  i’ve raved about her interior photography before but she seriously blew billy and me away with her scavenger hunt series. 

here is a sampling of photos that i took at the show of her work but you can view better images on her blog here.

among the people in attendance were a few atlanta design bloggers.  from left to right:  niki mcneill of single bubble pop, claire watkins of high gloss blue, me, terry kerns of architecture tourist.

tray tables

tray tables are all the craze lately.  they’ve come a long way from the old school tv tray tables. 

i can remember eating off of one that was almost identical to the one below at my grandmother’s home. 

they aren’t used only for eating anymore.  they’ve become more decorative.  i just used a long narrow one in a master sitting area.

tray table

i purchased this table from overstock.com for just under $150, and i couldn’t have been more happy with it. 

the great thing about tray tables is that they work in any home, and they are so small that they fit just about anywhere. 

when i was on the search for a tray table for the project above i came a across some other great tray tables.

this round tray table (only $75) is also from overstock and i love the ring detail on the front.  i also recently saw a pair of very similar ones at marshall’s for half the price. 

i liked this ebony finished faux bamboo table too ($129)

also comes in round ($105)

in a more modern home these modern tray tables from west elm would be perfect. ($39-$179)

Butler Trays + Stands

display your barware, liquor and wine on the tray table below from cb2 ($50)

imagemontego bay table from ballard designs ($199)

go big with this indoor/outdoor coffee table style tray table from pottery barn ($399)

Moroccan Tray Table, Antique Bronze finish

i was surprised to find such a great looking rustic tray table at wal-mart ($139)

and they’re not just for adults.  check out these colorful tray tables for the youngsters from pbteen. ($39)

welcome

i’m in need of a new door mat.  mine has seen better days.  it’s worn faded and is looking pretty pitiful right now. 

i’m really liking all of these.

small space

today while traveling to d.c., i finally got a chance to read this month’s house beautiful issue.  it was newell turner’s first issue as editor in chief and i must say that he did a great job on his first issue. 

i loved the living big in small spaces feature.  and i especially liked ellen o’neill’s 540 sq. ft. NYC one bedroom studio apartment.

to look at the pictures of her quaint little studio you would never guess that it is only one room total.  by creating small vignettes in various locations throughout her studio she was able to make the space feel like it has multiple rooms.

her daybed is multi-functional.  it is used as a sofa by day…

and a bed by night.

i think it’s great that even in a 450sf studio ellen has managed to create a pretty spacious home office.  i have twice as much space in my condo, and i still don’t have a home office like hers.

i think i could definitely adjust to new york city living if i had this studio to live in.
