leans her home was used for dessert again this third courtyard is a tiny gem so a bar was set up there and some seating for anyone wanting some sultry romantic ambiance so the dessert buffet done by sucre was set up on the dining table do you recognize it dessert at house 3 i used garden ornaments from smith hawken on the table peacocks for whimsy and mini birdbaths to hold macaroons sucre did the macaroon topiary small pastel bouquets were placed around the sitting room tommy s did these too and all the flowers for all three homes here s a total hint of whose house we are in target handed out swell swag bags that were placed all along the stairway of course i styled up the coutyard in this house too the house is very french so i chose things from target accordingly just to remind you of courtyard 3 before strings of copper shaded lights were festooned overhead like the ones you often see in courtyards restaurants and even over narrow streets in europe ceramic garden stools from target took the place of larger furniture and they have lights in the bottom zinc lanterns were place around the courtyard as night fell i wanted the courtyard to twinkle to be magical i had to borrow the linen covered table that was supposed to be the bar for the overflow of dinner guests at courtyard 2 so i used the owner s kithcen table as the bar with a huge smith hawken copper hose bowl for iced bottles of proseco and copper boot trays for glasses courtyard 2 after lights strung overhead were magical french style peacocks copper pots zinc lanterns all from smith hawken styled for a product shot but still cute for the party whew just reading all this and looking at all the pictures must have worn you out i loved every minute of this project and i hope you enjoyed a little insight into my work world and i hope you got some good ideas to use for your next party do check out target and get some of these things the summer sales are in full swing and there is still alot of summer entertaining to do and speaking of summer entertaining go on over to eddie ross and read about his backyard bash alberto and i went to it a year ago how fast another summer has rolled along eddie ross backyard bash we bloggers were all there one year ago all photos of art of the feast by valorie hart except dessert buffet photo by sucre read more here 24 comments labels art of the feast courtyards eddie ross entertaining events french quarter new orleans stealing magnolias styling job stylist tabletop valorie hart designs visual vamp designs and revamps monday june 27 2011 two houses made into one fabulous home a few months ago i posted a reader s home kellie and marc it is a wonderfully designed space that we all enjoyed seeing as i have gotten to know kellie better i have found out that she comes from a family of designing women the home of kellie and marc here there are four daughters kellie maggie sara jenni each one a decor maven with one house cuter than the other and each one looks very different in decor personality but all share put together looks that anyone of us would love knowing that my own design awareness came from my mother i asked kellie about her mom and sure enough the mother of this family of designing women is the inspiration for all of the daughters you know i had to see mom s house her name is jill and she has made a career out of making the family home unique and beautiful all the daughters are grown with homes of their own so jill has recently made an empty nest for her and hubby peter that all the daughters and sons in law and the five grandchildren love to fill two single shotgun houses made into one home jill s house is unique from the get go she took two old falling down single shotgun houses that were on lots so narrow that you could almost touch the house next door i love the way she used color and repetitive elements to visually join two houses together as one the center bridge addition connecting the two old houses is genius it is meant to be the front door but the family secret is that they all use the door on the house on the left side the brick courtyard was made from bricks that came from fireplaces that had to be knocked out jill is an amazing re cycler and up cycler extraordinaire the bridge addition between the two houses so let s go in the first room you come into is in house 1 and it is a precious little sitting room jill combines vintage and antique pieces to great effect a classic shabby chic cottage style that is familiar and beloved pale wall colors and dark wood floors work beautifully and for the most part jill keeps the palette soft the sitting room the sitting room segues shotgun house style into the master bedroom and bath this creates a master suite effect in one whole house love the deep ruffle linen bedspread in the master bedroom a vintage dresser and mirror in the master bedroom perfect walking through a door from the sitting room you enter the bridge this is where the living room and dining area are it is an ingenious use of space there are french doors at both ends of the bridge that let in plenty of light there is a collection of vintage mirrors hung over the couch which adds a reflective element that makes the narrow space expand visually jill has many charming groupings of collections placed around the house the living room a chest at the entrance and a collection of vintage clocks a view to the back set of french doors i love the chenille bedspread on the chaise with the jewel holding it in place white chenille chaise walking across the bridge you enter house 2 which has two guest rooms and a bath and the kitchen each guest bedroom is furnished with sweet textiles and mementos there is a framed shadow box with a purse in it it belonged to jill s mother the girls grandmother they said grandmother carried that purse everyday of her life that they remember the photo over the bed is of the grandmother the slip cover scallop shape headboard is so pretty grandmother s purse framed in a shadow box bookshelves artfully filled with good stuff the second guest bedroom love the pink and green at the back end of the bridge there is an opening to the kitchen house 2 jill opted for a clean classic country look white marble counter tops and painted white cabinets are a look we all love jill did this seven years ago she painted one accent wall in blackboard paint so the grand kids can scribble jill s classic country kitchen white marble counter tops the pink mixer has never been used so it s home for a pretty plant a little black cupboard in the kitchen let s go out the back door to the garden here you can see alot of clever recycling back of the two joined houses leading to the yard jill made the fountain out of odds and ends the raised flower bed complete with headboard the little yellow shed is a playhouse for the grand kids love the lady head planter and the old working sink so what do you think have you ever seen anything more clever or more cute it s like two dollhouses to play in i have been promised a house tour of the three other daughters and i can hardly wait i can see why all the girls love decorating and are so good at it growing up with jill who is the resourceful and artistic visionary of the family has created a decorating dynasty and peter and marc and all the other husbands love what their designing women
