Alrighty then....Monday morning.  Did you watch the Grammys?  Favorite performance was Annie Lenox....when I grow up can I be her?  She is just so cool sporting that short hair and singing her heart out.....Rock Star.

Over the weekend I went on The Cathedral Tour of Homes.  We were having epic weather here in Atlanta [almost 70 degrees] so it was crowded!

The first home I saw was this one....


The Calhoun House which was built in 1923.  

The architect was Philip Shutze who also designed the famous Swan House in Atlanta.

6 bedrooms, 7 baths and over 10,000 square ft, this home was recently bought by designer Melanie Turner and her husband [builder]  Stan Benecki.  They are only the 3rd owners.

Can you even?


The back...

OMG....Melanie can I come over for coffee so you can tell me your plans?

You guys know her right?



Here is a review for your pleasure....







Major talent.  

I'm feeling stalkerish towards her:)

Here are some older images I found of the house online.

The back....

The ballroom...


Dining room

The ceilings in this room were incredible....

I mean these doors and this fireplace!


If you are curious for more history of this home go here

I wish we could have taken pictures as they have already done quite a bit of renovating.

I'll let you know when Mel and I start hanging out.
