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. Those shenanigans don’t much apply to my contributions here at From the Right Bank, so I wanted to send Alek off on her big move with a few images and thoughts to hopefully help get her design ON.
Alek’s wanderlust rivals any intrepid explorers and she’s chalking up a collection of homes the way I buy thrift store chairs. Whatever, it’s not like I’m jealous of her cross country move and opportunity to REMIX her eclectic clash of furniture, art and architectural style. From what I can see she’ll at least have plenty to keep herself busy in MODlanta.
Like going to see Visual Acoustics, A Film about the Life & Career of Famed Architectural Photographer Julius Shulman.
Or discuss Modern Sustainable Residential Design
Maybe, she could check out the competition on the Modern Atlanta Home Tour.
In the meantime Alek is going to need to decorate the shiz out of her sassy new digs. While I’ve never been to Atlanta (or down to the South) I imagine big hair, southern humidity, and loads of vintage. Given her penchant for all things glam, mod, and diverse I think this new move may be just the ticket to completely REMIX the crap out of whatever house they land in with layers of eclectic pizazz. Don’t think for a second I forgot about the orange chair, black and white stripe rug, zebra skin, luxe pillows, vintage paintings and adorable frenchies.
Here are a few rooms that whispered Alek to me.
Entry.
Blogging office.
Den.
Living room.
Master bedroom.
Wherever.
Library.
Good luck with the move! Moving blows, but decorating is rad.
I know that us folks over at The Brick House (namely Morgan, The Boy, and Iggy Pup) are excited to see where you guys end up landing down South and how you’ll pull it all together. Remember – take lots of pictures. Especially of those dogs, Iggy just loves it.

Now that was fabulous! As a local resident let me say thanks for planning my weekend activities for the next month. Now my calendar is full! And as for the decor eye candy, you definitely nailed Alek's style. I'm crazy for the spaces spilling over with books and art. But my favorite may very well be "Wherever."
Nicely done, Miss Brick!

Basically, I need to shop at Hermes more so I have decorations for my entryway!

You've done really well at choosing images to suit Alek's style, especially that wonderful entryway.

I am sure that Alek will love all those orange accents!

I love The Brick House and I adored this post! Love the blogging office and the "wherever" especially!

Yay for more cool people coming to Atlanta! We love our neck of the woods over in Decatur. Mid-century ranches that are inside the perimeter (ahem, ITP) but still under $200K. Woot!
The photos kind of make me ache inside. So beautiful.
Bravo, if this is your first guest post then I'd like to see what you can do after a few more under your belt. I loved this, especially since you started off with Julius' movie. I am dying to see it. It's not on the schedule for here in Hoooston. My guess – that you pegged Alek's style perfectly. Must check out your blog. Thanks for the fun!

My fingers are crossed – I'm hoping to make the 2 hr trip to Atlanta to see Visual Acoustics. If I can get tickets? Schulman was such an amazing talent, and his photographs were remarkable. No one could photograph a modern home like Schulman.
Fantastic post! Just checked out The Brick House, off to read more now (love your blog!)
