TYE STREET PROJECT: INTRODUCTION & BEFORE PICTURES

(via Ett Hem)

I am SO excited to introduce a huge new project to the blog: my dad’s new house needs decorating and Yours Truly will be tackling this project and sharing all the details on the blog. You might have noticed a new board for this project pop up on my Pinterest a couple of weeks ago where I started mood boarding… You can check out all the pins here. Here are the details – my dad’s a groovy guy and an avid biker, and lives in the artsy Cabbagetown neighborhood on the Eastside of Atlanta. He lived in San Francisco in the 80’s and loves industrial modern design, has a great collection of black and white photography, and has a few heirloom pieces I’ll be mixing in. I’ve started mood boarding a lot of dark, moody, masculine rooms with lots of charcoal, dark blues and greens, and wood accents.

His new pad is a bright blue house that needs a little landscaping but has an amazing back yard and the house has great bones — tall ceilings, fabulous crown moldings and original fireplaces. The Cabbagetown neighborhood is a super cool area of town which I can’t wait to share more of through my Atlanta city guide posts coming up this summer, but it’s basically full of cute and colorful cottages and artists and musicians. You can read more about it here!

I’ll be starting to focus in on the each room with product boards and inspiration soon, as well as revealing the final paint scheme for the place and some process photos. I can’t wait to share each step of the way with you guys and share my style through this original project! Click through for “Before” pictures of the house…
