Village Mill in Dunwoody, Georgia

I haven’t written exactly about where we live…I know I have said we live in Dunwoody, GA…and just wanted to share with you that we live in Village Mill, the best neighborhood EVER!  I know everyone has a certain degree of neighborhood pride…

From the time you move in to Village Mill, brownies, cupcakes, specialty breads, come pouring in from all your new neighbors - a very hospitable and Southern thing…and the VMNA rep brings you a welcome basket! that is, at some point…some new homeowners seem to get theirs later than sooner (and if Erin is by chance reading my little ol’ blog, I know my phone is about to ring) hahahah! but really, this a neighborhood that is just what you are looking for in terms of “Mayberry”, as termed by across the street neighbor, Kitty.  It’s like a shrangrila of neighborhoods…it offers all that is important, magical almost…friendships, community, support, social, athletics, swim & tennis ~ what better place to live!

What a great idea for the Split Level Kitchen

While previewing homes for sale in Atlanta, I have the opportunity to see alot of great design and decorating ideas. Yesterday I saw a great idea for the kitchen / family room for a split level.

Two issues that commonly challenge the split level: amount of space and the step down transition between the kitchen and the  family room.

Well, when I saw how this home had been improved, I just had to share it in my blog. (With the home owner’s permission, of course). Greg also took two photos to share so you can easily see what I will describe as the perfect solution to overcome the issue of space and the transition: a built in! This built in was both a bench and a book shelf. The built in was a bench seat on one side becoming a part of the eat in area of the kitchen while on the other side, it was a built in shelf facing the family room. This great idea made the kitchen feel more spacious and the family room feel more cozy! Well done.
