THIS GAL IS TALENTED......
The second you enter Risa and Ed's home, you know you have stepped into a very special place! Her talent is everywhere, totally taking you in!! Risa's beautiful world is created in ...... Purple and Pink..... ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!
This mirror weighs hundreds of pounds.....Was installed by a very strong crew! It was custom made for Risa for her Atlanta home.
Soaring above the 15 + foot foyer is this fabulous glass chandelier. Our camera was unable to show the actually beauty!
Continuing into their home, you are in the Dining Room. This past week, Ed hung this marvelous work of art. A Chandelier to TOP ALL CHANDELIERS!!!
It has 350 individual crystals hanging on wire from the ceiling. Ed hung each and every one of them.......one at a time. The camera again, doesn't do it justice. Each crystal is actually PINK!!!!
Risa is a very talented artist and does fantastic photography! One room in their home is dedicated to these works. Risa is inspired by the famous artist, Georgia O'Keeffe. She interprets the artist's work in a beautiful way.
Risa's photography has been primarily taken during her travels all over the world.....Spain, Israel, and Paris are some of the places she has captured in wonderful photos!!!

The Kitchen wasn't left out......They had this area rug made especially for the space!
I'M NOT FINISHED........................
There's more......we have only seen the first floor. They have a fully finished walk-out basement!!!!
RISA'S STUDIO
Ed has his special space that captures his personality to a TEE!
Ed refers to this area as his GRAND HALL......He is collecting photos and will have it filled soon.. There is a great shot of him Freezing in Dallas at this year's Super Bowl!!
and................when he wants to escape for a nap..............
After the picture taking was finished Risa and Ed served us wonderful drinks and snacks.
To really appreciate Risa and Ed's home you must see it in person.....
And............the lucky ones that live here will have the opportunity to do so. Their home will be on this year's Sun City Peachtree's Holiday Tour of Homes.
DON'T MISS IT.....YOU ARE IN FOR THE TREAT OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!
PS.....I'm dressed in purple today!!!!
I LOVE that purple couch! What a great house!!!!!! I love a space decorated with meaningful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'd love have a closer look at Risa's photos. overall, she has great taste and a great eye!
ReplyDeleteIf you click twice on the picture..it will blow up and you can see all the work in detail......
ReplyDeleteACTUALLY CLICK THREE TIMES..CLICK UNTIL THE PICTURE IS ALMOST FULL SCREEN
ReplyDeleteWow! How amazing. It would take more than one visit to appreciate the whole house! I also like the purple sofa. It looks sooo comfy. The chandelier is so cool. I can't believe it had to go up one light at a time...I would never get it done! Good job husband! Nice Man Cave too. Most guys would love that! His and her floors - what more could you want! Risa has beautiful art work and I love her colors. She's very beautiful herself! More fun neighbors Mom!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful that we are all so different! I love how this is a space that you know the owners love!! That is what makes a true home... Filling it with personal treasures and beauty! I love seeing others' spaces.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Georgia O'keefe influence is a perfect pairing with the rest of the style... It's so wonderful how art made many years ago (well, in general, GO is still a fairly modern artist!) can still be so relevant and influential today. And flowers give you infinite possibilities for new creations... Neat neat neat!
I'd love to visit next trip! So fun and lively!
