At Home With Savannah Wallace

apartment in Atlanta, Jon and I moved into a two-story condo on the East

side. The neighborhood was built in the 70's and has mostly older

residents, which Jon and I love. It's a quiet and peaceful place to

live. Our favorite parts about the condo are the windows, huge amount of

storage and the massive walk-in closet in the Master. This is our 3-5

year home, and we love it. Moving in, I decided to take a "one room at a

time" approach to my decorating. In the apartment before our condo, I

found myself piddling in several rooms at a time and never really

feeling like I completed anything. In order to achieve the decorations I

really loved, take my time and focus, we decided that decorating one

room completely and then moving onto the next would be our most

"For our first room we decided to pick the dining

room, mainly because we had absolutely no dining room furniture to start

with and also because we love hosting get-togethers for our family and

friends. Our community is an important part of our lives, and we wanted

to create a space that could easily host those dear to us. I began a

print and scrap wood frame. My father-in-law and I made this frame

together, and I love how much of a statement piece it is. We signed the

back of the frame together, and it was so special working on a project

and learning about wood working. I also love the fact that Jon and I are

able to start recording the places we've been with our pins that came

with the artwork."

because it truly is a mashup of my taste and my husbands taste. We also

wanted to create a space that would be kitty friendly and future

children friendly, so we came across a lot of challenges. Taking our

time and approaching it one piece at a time made for a space we truly

love, feel at home in and enjoy eating our meal together in."
