Kurby's Christmas Mantle in Atlanta

 
So while I've been busy over here in Connecticut decorating my extra trees and putting up my meaningful tree and attempting to make DIY holiday card trees and making countdown calendars, my sister Kurby has been down South in Atlanta styling her mantles with some pretty hip Christmas garland.  I just had to share because when I saw these babies surface on her facebook page, I must admit, I took a gasp at their beauty.  Kurby just recently renovated her kick ass house in Atlanta and I hope to share some of the renovations with you shortly (remember her porch that was featured in Better Homes here).  But for now, I present her wonderful Christmas mantle....

 

 

 

This is Kurby and her wonderful family, Michael and Jude.  BTW, Kurby is just my nickname for my sister, Brett.  This is their photo when they were picking out their Christmas tree this year.  Brett is 6 months preggo with their second child...my nephew.  I can't wait to get my hands on that kid. 

Hope you've enjoyed the Christmas sneak peek into her home.  I'll share more of her renovations when I get down there to take some "after" photos of their renovations.  I can guarantee you that they're stupendous!

We're all spending Xmas together in Connecticut and I can't wait.

Brett's Porch in BHG

My sister's back porch made the April 2012 edition of Better Homes! 

Check it out...  

Brett lives in Atlanta's Grant park neighborhood filled with tree lined streets and young, modern families.  The bungalow's are adorable and crisp.  Many have been remodeled to accommodate the growing families that live in them.  My sister has a fabulous screened porch.  This is where we spend most of our visits.  We drink coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, Cabernet late night.  It's cozy and inviting and extends off her kitchen so people naturally gravitate towards it. 

Better Homes agreed and asked to do a photo shoot over a year ago.  It made it into this springs garden edition.  Yah! 

Kudos to Annette Joseph, the shoot stylist and John Sitton, the architect that designed the porch!
