Guess what?? The coolest MCM documentary film is coming to Atlanta (after much begging, pleading and finally demanding)! Visual Acoustics is the story of Julius Shulman the worlds most renowned architectural photographer. Narrated by Dustin Hoffman and featuring the work of every famous modern architect since the 1930's such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. "This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images."
Mid-Century Modern isn't so "Mid-Century" anymore. More and more Atlanta hipsters are realizing just how cool the furniture designs of Eames, Wegner, Platner and Saarinen are! There is a buzz in the Midtown-West Design district with some recognizable stores moving in such as KNOLL. Atlanta is finally getting some recognition and breaking through it's cliché of being a traditional Southern city.
Mid-Century design buffs can find fabulous new renditions of classic designs through stores such as Design within Reach, Knoll, Room and Board. But for those looking for some original pieces there are a handful of antique shops and dealers scattered through the city. Some of my favorites include: City Issue Atlanta, Kudzu antiques and Atlanta Antique Gallery
Have fun shopping and remember you are still allowed to negotiate price : )
There is something magical about Northcrest in the Fall. The sunlight that filters through the colored leaves has a warm glow that illuminates the the simple lines of the the Mid-Century Modern Homes a little bit differently. The gold and yellow of the poplar trees and the spicy reds of the Maples are reminiscent of a Van Gogh painting. People ask me why I live outside of 285? If you have ever been to Northcrest in the fall and had your breath taken away you would understand. They don't build neighborhoods like this one anymore.
Atlanta's Hot West Side is all a buzz. Mark your calendar, you don't want to miss this Mid-Town West Festival featuring some of the hottest stores and restaurants Atlanta has to offer OCTOBER 24th from 1-4!! The old brick buildings that were built at the turn of the century were originally used as Pork and Beef warehouses. These days the rustic brick and steal beams serve as a backdrop to some of the most coveted names in the high-end designer furnishing world such as Room & Board and Knoll. Art Galleries in Mid-Town West: Restaurants: It's kind of like the mini Soho of Atlanta. Bustling with designers, artists and fresh ideas that make a community a fabulous place to live. Sound like a place you would want to call home? Check out some of the pictures of the NEW WHITE Provisions Homes available for immediate move in. With killer city views and plush upgraded kitchens and baths. You won't believe how affordable a 2 bedroom is... To see all available Listings CLICK HERE.

" Just don't think about it... right hand, left foot, left hand right foot.... just don't look down..."
"VANESSA. STOP!!! STOP!!" Someone was calling my name, just when I was a third of the way to the top. I thought they were supposed to be screaming my name and cheering me on not telling me to "STOP!?!"
" YOU FORGOT TO HOOK INTO YOUR HARNESS." Oh brother. This is awkward. My face was a deep shade of red as I climbed down the telephone pole. I had been so focused on just "getting it over with" that I had forgotten to hook my harness to the spotter on the ground.
I don't know about you but I am scarred to death of heights and climbing a 40 foot telephone pole to walk a 30 foot wire isn't exactly something I look forward to. I would prefer to have a root canal or eat duck liver (gross). But for some strange reason I had already paid a significant amount of money to take a 4 day health seminar that would require me to climb to the top of this god forsaken telephone pole.
The ropes course instructor looked me in the eye as he tightened my helmet and said. "Focus on your breathing. Keep your eyes looking up and forward. You can do this." So I took 5 deep breaths cocked my head up and started to climb. I never looked down. One hand in front of the other. One foot in front of the other. Completely focused on the task at hand. Then the most amazing thing happened, I felt a strength arise inside of me, a feeling of faith that I could DO ANYTHING or TAKE ON ANYTHING. It was the absence of fear, and it was amazing.

"I have always thought that buying a house is a lengthy and painstaking process. Vanessa was key in removing that stigma by maximizing our time with the following steps: First, by researching houses that fit our criteria; Next, providing us with as much information as possible so that we were able to narrow our list of houses to actually go see in person; Finally, Vanessa allowed us to set the pace, being very efficient and quick when needed, and allowing us to take more time when we needed to think things through. Vanessa is a pleasure to work with and I personally recommend her to anyone who likes an agent who keeps in constant contact, will work hard for you and who removes the unnecessary pain out of purchasing real estate. "
-Charleston Horner
"I really enjoyed working with Vanessa in purchasing my first home. She was very helpful and answered all my questions/concerns (no matter how crazy they were). Vanessa has a way of truly making people feel comfortable and I never felt pressured in any way whatsoever. On top of being a 'cool' realtor, she is a 'cool' neighbor to have, too".
- Donnie Pirozzi
" Vanessa cares, but more importantly she listens and takes the time to find exactly what you are looking for.
She fought tooth and nail to get my deal done and put my best interest ahead of everything else
(meaning she wasn't commission orientated). I have bought and sold over a dozen houses each time using a different agent. After working with Vanessa I know that when the time comes to buy another place she will be the first person I call."
- Chris Morea
"We found Vanessa inadvertently while looking for a loft on the internet, but we're glad for the chance encounter. In just a few short weeks, she helped us to find the great Chamblee loft which we now call home. She was always willing to be flexible with our work schedules and remained supportive during the closing process, putting up with plenty of late-night, harried phone calls. Perhaps her biggest asset is that she is not a high-pressure salesperson; instead, she seems genuinely concerned with helping her clients find a match for their needs. I would recommend her services to any of my friends--and I already have!"
