The House Is Finally Ours!
I was really starting to doubt it would ever happen but it did. We finally closed on our new house!!! We haven’t moved in yet (we’re having some work done on it first) but I had everyone lined up and waiting to get started so it’ll be a frenzy of activity now and we should [...]
Shameless Plug
I was planning to take time off from this space until 1/1 but that was before the 2009 Homies! I found out about the awards last week when a couple of my awesome readers nominated From the Right Bank for a chance at the coveted title.
We’re talking cream of the crop here so I have [...]
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you for making 2009 such a fun and amazing year. Getting to know so many of you has truly been one of the highlights of this year. We’re off to see family so I’m signing off here until January 1. Until then, I wish you and your families a very happy [...]
Slow and Steady Decor
In an interview a while back I was asked what advice I would give someone decorating a new home. My best advice is this: Take your time.
It took me many years and many homes to learn this. Patience has never been one of my fortes. So I’ve bought lots of things over the years because [...]
More Gray Paint and a House Update
I’m going to meet with my painter tomorrow to talk about paint colors. I’m going to do it – I’m going to paint the kitchen cabinets gray! I’ve been staring at paint swatches all weekend and still haven’t come to a decision. If anyone has a gray paint they like, please share.
One of my readers [...]
French Interiors of the 18th Century
If you have any Francophiles on your list and you’re stumped for a gift, I have the perfect thing.
French Interiors of the 18th Century by John Whitehead
Now this isn’t your average pretty coffee table book.
Apart from the eye candy, it looks at the eighteenth century interiors of French royalty and aristocrats and discusses how they [...]
If I Were Decorating for Christmas . . .
I’m not a big holiday person and consequently, you won’t see holiday decor in my house most of the year. But that all changes come Christmas.
I can’t explain it but it’s the one (and only) holiday I really love.
Every year, I go for a tall, fresh cut tree, big wreaths, string lights, and lots of [...]
Gray Kitchens
Until we actually close on our house, I’m trying to walk a fine line between planning our move and not getting too carried away in case it falls through. And that, my dear readers, is no easy task! It’s even harder not to talk about the house because that’s all I want to do! [...]
Inspiration for the New House
Most of you know that I get a lot of my inspiration from traveling. Wherever I go, I love to check out the local design scene and to see what the trends and styles in a particular city or area are. During our road trip, I picked up D Magazine in Dallas and I fell [...]
New City, New Banner and (Sort of) New Blog Name
Remember the poll I took to name my blog after my move? Well, the people have spoken and my blog will hereby be known as . . . From the Right Bank. The subheadings will be “to the Left Coast” and “to the Deep South.” Thank you to all of you who voted (there were [...]
I’m Ba-ack!
Hi, everyone, how have you been? I’ve missed you all and I have so much to catch up on and to catch you up on!
First things first, we’ve finally arrived in Atlanta! And for now we’re settled into our temporary digs. Being the nester that I am, it’s killing me that we couldn’t move straight [...]
Well, Hello!
Hi, all! Just a quick post to let you know the family has arrived in Atlanta in one piece! I have a lot to report and will be back blogging starting Monday but I wanted to say a quick hello and to thank you all for the well wishes and for checking in on me. [...]

Guest Blogger: Design Crisis, Part 2
Hidey Ho Right Bankers! Is that what you like to be called? Or perhaps you prefer the slightly more subversive Left Coasters? Maybe I’ve inadvertently stumbled upon a battle between the Right Bankers and Left Coasters and I’m just making things worse???? Well, hopefully I can keep the peace and distract [...]
Guest Blogger: The Haystack Needle
Hello, Jen here from the haystack needle! One of the first things I learned about Alek after becoming a Right Bank addict: the girl has a ton of shoes (and they’re super cute!). Intrigued, I had to find out more about how she organizes them all. After a move of my own (much less dramatic [...]
Happy Birthday, Jenny!
Hi, it’s Ally here, just popping in to say happy birthday to my girl, Jenny.
From the day I stumbled on Jenny’s blog, my favorite and my best, I was smitten. Not only is she design-savvy but she makes me laugh. Out loud. All the time. And I couldn’t be happier that we’ve become friends through [...]

Traveling Thursday Guest Blogger: A Life More Fabulous
Hello there! It’s Sharalee from A Life More Fabulous, very excited to be visiting here while Alek is busy with her big move. When Alek announced she’d be away for a while, I knew one of the posts I’d miss the most were her Travelling Thursdays trips around the world, so I thought it’d be [...]

Guest Blogger: The Brick House
Holler all, this is my first guest post EVER and though it was painful at first, it’s slowly is starting to feel really good. Over at The Brick House I usually write about our ongoing home renovation and beautification projects, thrifting and other such nonsense.
