<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my favorite weeks of the year ... The Brimfield Antique Fair!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I ventured out earlier in the week than I normally do. I tend to go on Thursday's because I love Mays and J&J's Fields and that is when they both open. But I decided to go on Wednesday this year ... you know "early bird gets the worm"!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My intention was to get back over the weekend to check out Mays and J&J, but real life does not allow one to go for two days! Bummer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few of the things that inspired me this year ... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Large, beautifully bound books of old newspapers from the 1800's. Gorgeous and I could see them actually used as an impromptu side table on their own ... you know, casually sitting there waiting for you to open them, but instead with your glass of wine on top! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Love these carved wooden tables. I call it the Rustic Garden Stool ...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all might be getting a little bored with the large clamshell ... so now you can have a painted fiberglass piece of art instead. I actually love this ... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How about some petrified and glossed up tree trunk tables. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The colors are stunning ... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another Speaker from <a href="http://designcamp.com/">Design Camp</a> that truly knocked my socks off (sandals ... did I mention it was 107</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">° in Las Vegas?)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While Patrick truly regaled us with his knowledge of all the past and present design icons ... he was so inspirational in his delivery. You absolutely know, when listening, that this man is passionate about his love (and true KNOWLEDGE) of mid-century design!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: orange; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">William Haines Designs carries on the Haines legacy by faithfully reissuing the original Haines furniture designs with great accuracy and penchant for this style known as Hollywood Glamour. Peter Schifando and J. Jonathan Joseph are extending the Haines aesthetic with painstaking accuracy and fulfilling the current demand for Hollywood Regency design. With an A-List clientele, which includes Nancy Reagan and Betsy Bloomingdale, it is only befitting that these iconic, classic designs from William Haines grace their homes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I had the pleasure of attending Design Camp in Las Vegas. If you can imagine 325 Interior Designers, design students to celebrity designers. All gathered in one (big) room to be inspired by one another, learn about new trends both in design and social media, and my favorite part ... meeting new and re-connecting with old friends to inspire one another. Let's face it ... Social Media Rocks. But NOTHING beats one-to-one relationships!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Monday Rocks! My bags are packed and I am traveling today with my good friend and Interior Designer <a href="http://www.lindaholtinteriors.com/blog/">Linda Holt</a>. We are off to Las Vegas to attend <a href="http://designcamp.com/">Design Camp</a>! Which also means I will be going to the Las Vegas Furniture Market ... follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/kimmacumber">IG</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/KimMacumber">Twitter </a>to be one of the first to know what's new!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been contemplating what to do with the fireplace holes in our brick wall ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was a big push to put in a gas fireplace.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ultimately, I could't justify the cost of the insert, running the propane line, etc. etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Such precision.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rows and Rows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pride in Workmanship.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This person must be an artist.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, it is one of my favorite weeks in the year ... the YaYa week! And we are Road Tripping. We are driving from Massachusetts to Alabama. Why you ask? Well, my favorite people in the world and I ask you ... "why not?"!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In our quest to make life fun, we decided to stop along the drive at the Homestead in Hot Springs VA. When I was in the hotel business, I visited ... it was probably 15 years ago at least. And I started telling Callie about it and how fun it was, families vacationing "old style". And one of my favorite memories was going to the Jefferson Pools that have been there for over 200 years and soaking in the </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After an 11 hour drive on Day 1, it just seemed fitting that we begin our celebration with some bubbly!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Monday Morning! I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July. Ours started out a little slowly due to Hurricane Arthur. He sure knew how to stop the party here in New England ... and I did what any sane person would do when the party got cancelled. Bought some new paint! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So while I am marching forward in my "all white" <a href="http://kimmacumberinteriors.blogspot.com/2014/05/cabinet-hardware-turning-up-knob.html">kitchen</a>. Well, except for the Black counter tops and the Green Door and the Red Coffee Maker. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Okay ... the walls are white. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I like it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clean and Crisp in my little #projectdownsize kitchen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But you know me ... I need a Touch of color. Yes, a Touch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I, evidently, still need Gloss. High Gloss.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Back in the Day" before blogs ... I was taking kid photos, not home design projects. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last week an <a href="http://11gables.blogspot.com/">IG</a> friend posted a photo of some old fabric she was going to re-purpose and it reminded me of this time in my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I worked very hard for this complete Ralph Lauren Bedroom ensemble! And the Laura Ashley Stripe wallpaper ... my favorite. When I look back at this photo I am reminded how much I love the look. This was circa 1996 ... almost 20 years ago. I think it is time for a rebirth of the Cabbage Rose. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is just something about it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have always been a Sucker for Big Art.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So as I scour the web for all of the inspiration the Showhouse gives I found <a href="http://www.cullmankravis.com/">Elissa</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Christopher Peacock is one of my absolute favorite kitchen designers. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love the WEIGHT of his kitchens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not only are his spaces pleasing to the eye … You know when you touch a knob it has quality and weight. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And while #ProjectDownSize is not budget worthy of a CPKitchen … I do want her to have weight.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thus the knob decision!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Colonial Bronze has become a "go-to" of knobs for me. They are a good price point, they are solid brass and they have the WEIGHT I look for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since I chose the classic round knob I did want to kick it up a notch. No offense to Big Box Hardware stores, but I wanted them to look better than what I find there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So we added the Medallion. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When you choose to add this piece, go ahead and buy yourself some "mid-size" screws. You will need them to hold the two pieces. One little note I'd like to let Colonial know is that if a client is ordering the medallions they might change out the screws they send.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not a Huge Deal. But boy would they up the Customer Satisfaction Quotient!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So see … I did include the Big Box Store in my need for "just right" screws!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope all the Mother's out there had a wonderful day yesterday. It was glorious here … the weather was perfect and the kids made a dump run for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You have no idea what a gift that was!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While in reality I am still trying to complete my home office and the kitchen cabinet painting, I am dreaming of our master bedroom potential.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I do my best design work while working on another project. Seriously.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is how it happens.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While I am working on a project, for a client or myself, I design the next project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, this doesn't mean I am not focused on the current project, it is just like my mind finds this little space to run wild and it does!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So … here are some images that I have in mind for our new master. Each room has an element I would like to include.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, more importantly, I did enjoy the culmination of a 4 Year Challenge that Erin took on at Auburn University.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And yes, you are spying the feet of <a href="http://kimmacumberinteriors.blogspot.com/2014/04/prep-work.html">Ms. Confidence</a>. She is here and she is PERFECTION! She is just not ready to reveal herself in all her Nude glory quite yet!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/kimmacumber">IG</a>, you know that my chair is at the upholsterers right now. I checked on her today and the Platinum hide is on. I just delivered the fabric for the back which is the real </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">pièce de résistance! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am so close … but yet so far from completion for Week Six. I hope you will continue to check in till around Week 10!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The plan is to get the ceiling up and then I am covering the walls in fabric, similar to my illusion office. You see I have 24 yards of beautiful white silky fabric that I was going to use for new curtains in our master bedroom before we moved. Well … it is now going to grace my office walls. But I cannot do this until the ceiling is up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is also a great surprise for a countertop that I am making to provide more storage … But I am waiting. Patiently. For the material to arrive!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps because I have an entire house, also known as #ProjectDownSize, to do … </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well here is the problem when I am not a total DIY'er.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Electrician is coming TODAY. He is clearly not as interested in pleasing all of you as I am.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I apologize on his behalf. However, if you are in my neck of the woods, I'll share him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You might remember the "<a href="http://kimmacumberinteriors.blogspot.com/2013/04/hide-obsession.html">Hide</a>" I scored last year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It finally has come into it's own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is at the upholsterer right now. Taking over the Toile that graced my <a href="http://www.kimmacumberinteriors.com/portfolio-farm-road.html">kitchen</a> a few years ago. Here's the thing about chairs. They Rock. And can be changed in a heartbeat. Continue the Chair Hoarding. It is a constant Giver!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And the Kravet accent fabric … well, you will just have to wait to see that little treat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So … while you might think I am slacking off … here is the real DIY'er going on right now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, at the same time as the ORC Linking Party.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Good Morning! After a week at HighPoint Market, I have to tell you my head is exploding with ideas, images, new information, sheer design delight … I am breaking down my thoughts and photos so that I can truly digest it all and use the information to make my business better, to make my clients even happier and to really just let my creativity flow.</span></div>
