Parker Kennedy in Atlanta Showhouse

 

Lance Jackson and David Ecton of Parker Kennedy are at it again. 

I originally shared their absolutely brilliant style with ya'll last summer (recall here). 

These gentlemen have continued to take the design world by storm.  They are currently featured in The Atlantan January 2013 issue, "Prepped for Success."

 

 
This weekend, Parker Kennedy has debuted a fabulous room in an Atlanta, Georgia Show House.  It's part of the Cathedral Antiques Show & Tour of Homes.

I have been tracking this living room progress on Lance and David's facebook page and I wanted to share the beautiful results with you here.

Here is C.R. Laine's wonderful navy Jack sofa.  Love the lines and those pillows pop against the navy!   (I'm a HUGE fan of C.R. Laine...they always have such wonderful style.  Check out some of their items from High Point Market this year, yes total tangent!)

 

Custom pink pillows with navy Greek key trim, the navy sofa is CR Laine's Jack sofa.

Parker Kennedy uses a fun mix of chinoiserie and modern elements.  I love the addition of the pink juju hat above the fireplace!  (PS. there is a seagrass rug underneath the plastic protective cover!)

These little puppies are at the warehouse getting ready for delivery.  (And you can get a better look of that fanned peacock looking chair and its vibrant colors in the warehouse photo).  Can you imagine how it looks in the show house room!?  BRILLIANT! Look at that pink and navy ceiling!  Really makes the room pop!  For more fun about painting the ceiling of a room, read here. 

 Install, day 1.  Lantern just starting out.  This will add character to the room!

Here are David and Lance at the preview party (pictured with a friend of theirs).  All photos courtesy of Parker Kennedy Facebook page. 

The show house is located in the heart of Buckhead on East Andrews drive.  If anyone is local to the ATL area, you should stop in and see this incredible display.  (Atlanta's Cathedral Inspiration Showhouse 2013). 


One of the many things I love about David and Lance's design style is their mix of Palm Beach vintage-chic and modern elements. They frequently travel to Palm Beach and scour flea markets for undiscovered treasures and then bring them back to their Atlanta showroom where they refinish them like new.   I frequently go to their facebook page and review their newest findings and just drool.  One of these day's I'm going to make my way down to see them at their space at Scott's Antique Market. 

Check back tomorrow!  I'm going to share some of my personal favorites from the Parker Kennedy collection.

High Point Market Fall First Glimpses

High Point Market Fall 2013 is in full force! It opened to industry leaders, designers and trend spotters yesterday.  I have been obsessively tracking down photos of the first glimpses from the market.  There are always very talented style spotters working the market floors so people like me can live vicariously through them.  So far, they have not disappointed with their finds. 

Here are some of my faves:

Drexel Heritage Console upholstered with a pink & orange embroidered patterned natural linen fabric.  Great find Janel.  Janel is the executive editor of Apartment Therapy and was selected as one of High Point Markets Style Spotters for the October 2012 market.

 Century Furniture coral lacquer new traditional "dressing chest."  Julia is known for her love of antique artifacts and as one of the well-known Material Girls (materialgirlsblog).  She is also a High Point Market Style Spotter this fall.

 Wesley Hall Showroom.  A rendition of a Louis 16th chair, alpine white painted finish with Dwell Studios for Robert Allen emerald green Malachite fabric.  This was spotted by Lisa Mende of Lisa Mende Designs.  And guess what?  She is also a Style Spotter for High Point Market.  You can find her finds here.

 C.R. Laine does not disappoint!  Per Lisa Mende:  "The chevron is as popular as ever! Style 205-SW "Simon" swivel in Limitless Coco fabric designed for Kravet by Jonathan Adler. The 1 1/2" band of kiwi colored tape added at the base of the chair adds the finishing detail to make this chair a must have. The linear contrast of the green tape to the brown and white zigzag geometric completes the look with the hot color".

Parsons tables from Bungalow 5 in great finishes - navy grasscloth & rosewood veneer.  (And hey...look at the wallpaper in the background!  That's Meg Braff's Up in a Tree Bamboo Green from my mudroom.  I'm liking that blue lacquer dresser they paired with the kelly green.  Makes me want that navy pagoda mirror even more!).

I'm excited to see more photos from the feet on the ground.  #hpmkt just kicked off yesterday and will continue until October 18th.  I am sure we'll be seeing many more exciting things. 

Do you have a favorite so far?  I'm loving that Dwell studio Malachite showroom! 

I hope to be there one day!!!!!

Best,

Prep for 2012 High Point Market!

If CR Laine isn't on your radar, it should be!  It was CR Laine's bold patterns and colors that initially caught my attention.  Yes, you've heard me say I love a good mix of patterns, but check out that Illiad chair  from Zinc door...and the Nanjiing Jade chair- talk about Chinoiserie at it's finest! 

CR Laine furniture mixes such wonderfully classic form with bold statements of leather and textile.  I just can't get enough.  I am sure you' ve probably come across some of their fabulous designs without even knowing it.  They've been featured in House Beautiful, Southern Living, Atlanta Homes, Traditional Homes, and more! 

CR Laine started in 1958 as a family owned business and continues to be family run even today!  If you happen to be lucky enough to be going to the 2012 Fall High Point Market, check these guys out!  And say hi to Parker Kennedy, the awesomely talented duo that will be paring their vintage accessories with CR Laine product line at this year's market! 

Check them out more on their facebook page here!  (ps--I was not endorsed by CR Laine and am not affiliated with them in any way.  I just happen to think their product line rocks.  As always, I like to hightlight a good thing when I see it!)

Lance Jackson and David Ecton created Parker Kennedy Living two years ago.  I love knowing the history behind a great name (remember Roberta Roller Rabbit) and "Parker" and "Kennedy" are the nicknames of the two founders, combined to create their company name. 

I had the wonderful opportunity of having a facebook chat/introduction with Lance and David this weekend and I instantly fell in love with their Southern hospitality.  These gentleman invited me down to their showroom in Atlanta to check out some of their one of a kind finds.  Believe me, on my next trip South to see Kurby, we will be pulling up to visit these fellows (Parker Kennedy Living is located at 1227 Logan Circle, Atlanta, Georgia).

Currently, by appointment only, Parker Kennedy Living specializes in vintage Hollywood Regency style from Palm Beach (Shout out to my girls!).  They have large warehouses in West Palm where they store their finds until they transport them back to Atlanta to restore.  They buy and restore new life into vintage pieces with classic lines and style.   They carry modern, vintage and antique furniture, original artwork, home accessories, decorative lighting--you name it!

Parker Kennedy Living focuses on vintage resale, interior design and product development.

Parker Kennedy Living is a permanent dealer at Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta (who in ATL doesn't know about Scott's!).  They're in the South Building Isle I-7.   They also sell at Cotswold Marketplace in Charlotte, North Carolina and Slate Interiors in Charlotte. 

And how exciting, they're paring with CR Laine this fall at Highpoint to showcase their vintage case goods and accessories with the CR Laine product line.  (Parker Kennedy debuted at Highpoint in the spring 2012 for the first time ever in the Market Square Antique design center and they sold over 98% of their vintage furniture).  Keep your eye out for these guys!  They've got extreme talent. 

Hey boys, remember you offered to have me tag along with you at the Fall Highpoint 2012?  I'll meet ya at the entrance!  And don't forget us little peeps on your way to the top!
