Good morning ya’ll!\u00a0 No Seven on Sunday today because I am here to share the rest of my Nashville\/Franklin trip with you but\u00a0 it will be back next Sunday:) Yes,\u00a0 I am still very much in a southern state of mind and I don’t plan on snapping out of it anytime soon.<\/p>\n

So I shared with you part 1, the very long part 1<\/em> <\/a>yesterday of an overview of our trip to Nashville\/Franklin. If you missed it you MUST see it, it’s so wonderful and truly you will feel like you were right there beside me:) Click here to see part 1<\/em><\/a>…..I cannot wait to go back but until then these posts will have to suffice:)<\/p>\n

Today’s part 2 is all about the reason I went there in the first place…..the beautiful O’More Showhouse. Beautiful does not do it justice, this was downright perfection. So much talent under one roof. The master behind this fabulous home was Joanne Haynes, a decorating genius who has been to this rodeo once or twice before. Everyone I spoke with agreed, no one can do it quite like Joanne:) She is as lovely as she is talented.<\/p>\n

The opening night party was fabulous…..everything looked so gorgeous, drinks and small bites were served. I felt like I was in a movie based off of a southern storyline, elegantly dressed people all over (over 200 of them), warm and gracious, lovely live music, surrounded by beauty everywhere….does it get better than that? Then to have been chosen as the honorary chair was truly the icing on an already very sweet cake:) I was there with three of my closest friends from NY, which made it ultra sweet. Just a great great night!<\/p>\n

So thank you<\/strong> to Joanne and O’More College for bestowing this wonderful honor upon me and to everyone who came out to see the showhouse. It was so exciting to meet many of my readers\/customers, one as nice as the next. And to my very special friend, Ann who took things up a notch and gave us the most wonderful tour and treated us to a wonderful country lunch. Hard to believe that all of this started with my little blog! And of course to my friends from NY who traveled with me and were able to share this wonderful occasion with me!<\/p>\n

So I am anxious to show you the showhouse..just amazingly beautiful. If you are in the area or feel like taking a little trip, you will not be sorry…this is very much worth the visit<\/em><\/a>. Click here for more info.<\/em><\/a> And here we go……<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I managed to snap a few quick pics as we got there right before the party was starting (and a few from a friend)……<\/p>\n

\"ixxeendex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This pretty little powder room with this wonderful paper was off the main hallway<\/p>\n

\"inafdsaex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indenbbx\"<\/a>\"indvvcex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love this trio of fabulous paintings and am looking for a spot in my home for them…there was some fabulous art (most of from Haynes Gallery in Nashville)\u00a0 including an incredible Andrew Wyeth original (not for sale)!<\/p>\n

\"indsfsdfadex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loved getting to see these oversized cards they made for me on the kitchen countertop:)<\/p>\n

\"isdaa33ndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And move along to the super elegant family room ….great job Joanne (one of my favorite palettes) recognize the brackets?<\/p>\n

\"indefdddfax\"<\/a> \"indefdafs3x\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indfdfddex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"isdssndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"index9877\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just to the right of the family room is this double wide staircase going to the lower level, beautifully done<\/p>\n

\"indenbbx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The landing was beautifully done, with its charcoal gray walls, and built in seating with bookcases, great ideas here!<\/p>\n

\"insdsdex\"<\/a> \"indfdfddex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ind766ex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"index566\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"in3333dex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indevcvccx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indefdsdx\"<\/a> \"isdsssndex\"<\/a> \"index5tt\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indedfax\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we head upstairs, yours truly’s powder room is the first room you see…..<\/p>\n

\"indxcvex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The exquisite mural from Paul Montgomery<\/em><\/a> just made this little room!<\/p>\n

\"inDFSFDdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indvcr3ex\"<\/a> \"asda33index\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"inasdfadfsdex\"<\/a> \"indexFDFDA\"<\/a> \"indexvccv\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there is a functional upstairs laundry room tucked into a former closet which was so cleverly done-<\/p>\n

\"inssrdex\"<\/a> \"inddfssex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EVERY laundry room should have this wonderful fold down drying rack…love it!<\/p>\n

\"inrr4dex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And three bedrooms upstairs…<\/p>\n

\"indebbnx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This sweet little nursery was precious<\/p>\n

\"inbbnndex\"<\/a> \"inbbnnndex\"<\/a> \"iccbbcdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indexFDSAA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this room felt cloud like:)<\/p>\n

\"ixcxndex\"<\/a> \"indvcxeex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there was a wonderful navy and white home office which was hard to capture because of the sunlight but it was beautiful-<\/p>\n

\"inas33dex\"<\/a> \"indefdasax\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"isds2ndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love those lamps:)<\/p>\n

\"invccwwdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving along to the lower level which was so amazingly well done…very inviting!<\/p>\n

\"in,,dex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course loved this palette and that it was at ground level made this so not feel like a basement<\/p>\n

\"indfsdsdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indefddddx\"<\/a> \"invcvcdex\"<\/a> \"indevcccx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then the family room opened to a fabulous outdoor space which was the best of indoors\/outdoor living-<\/p>\n

\"ibn55ndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indghg5ex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This space was so well done partially covered and so functional, cozy and beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"ind764ex\"<\/a> \"issssndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"inde7667x\"<\/a> \"indaadfex\"<\/a> \"indcczex\"<\/a> \"in2343adex\"<\/a> \"indefdddx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"indghg5ex\"<\/a><\/p>\n
