Oatlands Plantation- Leesburg, VA

Julie Daniel — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:42:02 +0000

Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg is one of my favorite spots in Northern Virginia and one of the reasons I love living in Virginia! When I was little we would cut down our Christmas tree from a farm down the road and then walk around Oatlands… it is beautiful at Christmas. Next month I am going to have Holiday Tea at Oatlands, I am very excited! My cousin had her wedding at Oatlands and it was beautiful, the gardens are stunning. Below are some photos I stole of their website… enjoy!

Try and make it out to Oatlands if you have a chance!

Final Presentation Today

I have not had a free minute in the past week- between going up to NYC for my sister’s graduation and working day and night on my final presentation that is tonight for my Interior Design class. Here is a SMALL glimpse of what I have been working on:

Kitchen Plan:

Power Plan for the Kitchen: (yeah a little crooked, I’m gonna fix that before tonight)

They are part of a house that I have been designing all semester and have to present tonight. I would put up the entire floor plan but I don’t have it scanned right now.

I’ll be back posting like crazy this weekend! (BTW, I also just got a HUGE client that I am organizing, I think I mentioned it a few posts back…. she is a hoarder and we are are completely packing up here entire life…. it is taking up a lot of time and energy).

My Favorite Place on Earth

Kiawah Island, SC, a private Island off the coast of Charleston, SC.

Some day I WILL own a house here. It is my favorite place on earth, I would be perfectly content to never leave the island if I could.

Me Quoted In The Post

Today to my surprise I noticed I was quoted in the Washington Post Home Section. In last week’s addition they had a small blurb on great movie decor, which inspired me to post some pictures on the great decor in the movie “Somethings Gotta Give.” {Here is the post.}

They asked readers to email in talking about what other movies have great decor. I immediately emailed them to tell how I loved the house from the Father of the Bride movie. You may or may not recall I have talked about my fascination with the FOTB house before {here is a post about it.}

I had forgotten I had emailed them until I was flipping through the home section today and say my name. I was like “Oh, that’s me… {long pause…} HOLY COW, THAT’S ME!!” I was very excited to say the least.
