How to NOT winter-proof your old windows.

VANESSA REILLY Atlanta Homes for sale (DOMO Realty) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:42:52 -0800

Lately we have been spoiled by the unseasonably warm weather here in Atlanta. Yesterday I was shopping for green sprinkles and chocolate egg-knog in my Flip-Flops and Daisy Dukes, and I paused to asked myself, is it really December, but more importantly, am I too old to be wearing Daisy Dukes?

Nevertheless, today a cold front has moved in *tisk* tisk* and so it is finally time, time to break out the ghetto-fabulous-double-pain-plastic-shrink-wrap for my single pane, pain-in-the-a**-windows.

In the spirit of the Holidays I thought it would be fun to take you through the tedious tradition of winter-proofing my delightful, and slightly breezy, Mid-Century Modern Home (did I mention I have original, single-PAIN-aluminum-windows?)

Step #1 Locate the Biggest wall of windows where the drafty exterior breeze is coming from.

Step #2 Layout all the tools you will need to shrink wrap your drafty window project: Gin, Ginger Ale, Ice, scissors and some other stuff.

Step #3 Pour equal parts of the Gin and Ginger Ale into the chilled glass that contains ice. Test to make sure they are of the highest quality.

Step #4 Double check the materials, sometimes the consistency might be weak and more Gin should be added liberally.

Step #5 Carefully adhere the double sided tape gently yet firmly around the window trim thing-a-ma-jiggy, takeing pre-kaution for excessive pressing, this can cause panefull wood-chips in your fingers also known as splinters (the little bast**ds)

Step #6 Make sher your sweet and tangee Bev-erige is within reaching distance… sometimes the drafty windows let in large Rodents or humans who steel tasty Beverriges, so you must be cognesent of whare your icy cold Drink is at ALLL tims.

Step #7 Take the plastik outuv the box thingy. WARNING: DO NOT PUT PLASTICK OFER UR HEAD, THISE CAN CAUSE SUFFICATIONS.

STEP# 9 or 8 iforgot. Play WIDTH the plasitc pretendd like your are Jezus’s mother the Merry virgin.

Step #11 Wharedid my FRIGIN’ dnrink GO? I jusputiddown for a sekund and somwone drank it all…waathe …!?

Step #21 Skrew dis, i hat dubbble sided stiiky tape… will deel wtith Drefty windows toomarrow. Go takeAing a nap.

Atlanta Mid-Century Modern Home: Featured in AJC!

VANESSA REILLY Atlanta Homes for sale (DOMO Realty) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:22:20 -0700

So the other day I got a phone call from a guy who said he worked for the AJC, at first I thought he was going to try and sell me some kind of advertising package, but when he started explaining how he was a reporter who focused on the writing about personal residences for the AJC Homefinder section of the Sunday paper, my ears pricked up and my heart started beating fast. You see, I've always enjoyed getting attention, ever since I was an obnoxious, snot-nosed little kid I would do all kinds of morally wrong things just to get my mom's attention. This is what happens when you are the only child for 8 years and then all of a sudden you get 2 younger siblings. So when the reporter/photographer asked if he could photograph my house and write a little blurb about my business and decor aesthetic I didn't say "yes," I said: "ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!" Then put the phone down and sprung into consecutive back-flipps.

Ok so now that my ego is over-inflated here are some pictures of my oh-so-fabulous Mid-Century Modern Home that I have tenderly renovated and decorated of the years. Thanks for reading ;-) For the full Article with all the Juicy Details CLICK HERE ** Disclaimer: Cheesy subtitles were taken from AJC Article.

Looking for your own MCM Home in Atlanta? You've come to the right place!! CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF COOL MODERN HOMES!

Real estate agent Vanessa Reilly relaxes with her dogs Desi and Chloe at her Atlanta home.

Vanessa Reilly bought a pair of orange velveteen chairs at an estate sale for $60. "I had to completely re-decorate because of them," she says.

Vanessa Reilly describes her interior design style as midcentury madness with a sprinkle of "Glamazon." She has filled the house with pieces that "make me happy," she says.

A set of antique Elk Antlers adorn the brick accent wall.

The living room features a Roman brick accent wall that used to be a decorative fireplace in the 1960s.

The furnishings and art have been collected over the years and include a classic Eames lounge chair.

Reilly's experimental design -- and personality --is seen in areas such as the upstairs Hollywood-style bathroom.

“When I’m having a bad day, I will take it out on my house and re-¿arrange the furniture,” Vanessa Reilly says. “When I get the urge to move, which is about once a year, I will just call my painter instead."

The dining room features a 78-inch oval Saarinen marble dining table that Reilly said she drooled over for several years before buying it.

The kitchen is simple with a punchy green back splash and a big picture window that overlooks the backyard.

Reilly painted the bedroom walls a soft grey blue and kept the furnishings simple. Because of the big picture window she chose a low rise IKEA platform bed. The light birch finish of the bed matches the light wood ceilings.

The foyer has five skylights, an artist console with tiny drawers for storing paint, and a vintage Tomesode kimono.

Vanessa Reilly bought her Atlanta home in 2008. She originally hated the man-made berm in the front yard, but has grown to love it over the years. "The berm shields the home from the street, providing an abundance of privacy," she says.

A Mid-Century Modern Makeover: BEFORE & AFTER

VANESSA REILLY Atlanta Homes for sale (DOMO Realty) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:28:14 -0700

This ugly duckling needed a serious makeover, and not the 30-minute kind. It had been sitting vacant for over 6 months before it was bought from the bank. Everything needed fixin' and in my humble (and professional) opinion I think we done good.

The dramatic and modern color pallet is what really sets this Mid-Century, tri-level home apart from the pack. I chose an "Urban Bronze" to accents the beams and facia on the outside then continued with it on the interior as a juxtaposition with the white tongue and groove ceilings. For those of you who were lucky enough to see the 3360 Archwood Drive renovation you might be thinking "gosh, those cabinets sure do look familiar?" Well your right, same glossy, zebra veneer, but we decided to go horizontal on the stripe, which lends itself better to the modern design elements of this modern home (at least that's what they're saying on HGTV).

3624 Summitridge Drive did not have the notorious "hollywood bathroom" with the shared shower that so many hate but end up falling in love with. Instead there was a full bath with incredible, grey and yellow original, mosaic tile that was cleaned and re-grouted. We then continued with the grey theme adding the "Carrera" subway tile vertically up the shower walls and extending along one accent wall. The floating vanity was custom build by the same company that did the kitchen.

This master suite differs from most because it has a private deck that overlooks the backyard which opens up the space and provides even more morning light. It's also a perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of mocha-java-minty-soy-sugar-free-choco-latte while listening to the soothing sounds of nature in your very own wildlife sanctuary backyard, only minutes from the bustling city of Atlanta, and all for $295k.... Ok enough sales pitch, let's look at some before and after pictures!!

p.s. this house just hit the market and is priced to sell at $295,000 for all pictures and info CLICK HERE or give me a jingle to set up a showing 404-556-1733. Or for more Modern Atlanta Homes You know where to CLICK.

After multiple offers and multiple contracts falling though Evan and Rebecca finally found their NORTHCREST Dream Home!! They are the new LUCKY owners of 3685 Eaglerock Dr.

Have you been looking for a Mid-Century Modern Home in Atlanta but can't find it? Have you heard of Northcrest? I know there is a lot of stigma with living "OTP" (outside the perimeter) but here is the thing: Northcrest isn't "outside" it's "at" the perimeter! and I can tell you from personal experience that it is easier to get to places in and around Atlanta from this location than most in-town locations where I've lived in the past! With 285 and 85 so close you can be in Buckhead in 10 minutes and at the Perimeter Mall area in less than 15. Or if you need to shoot downtown for some IKEA shopping you can get there in 15 minutes!!

So stop getting all hung up on living "INSIDE" the perimeter. In Northcrest you get more BANG for the BUCK, bigger yards, cool neighbors and an assortment of wildlife! Plus we have tiki bar at our swim club, WHAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD POOL HAS A TIKI BAR!?!?! Riddle me that!

Staging: Does it work??

VANESSA REILLY Atlanta Homes for sale (DOMO Realty) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:43:20 -0700

Whenever I go on a listing appointment and describe how my marketing and staging techniques are worth every dollar it’s hard for some sellers to grasp the value, especially without seeing visuals. So I decided to pull some before and after shots of this Atlanta Mid-Century Modern Home that was recently re-listed by me in Northcrest (Atlanta’s Mid-Century Modern neighborhood located at 85N and 285).

3506 Summitridge Dr. is a 4 bedroom sprawling Ranch with a 2 car garage. Before my team and I got our paws on this Mid-Century Diamond in the rough, it was looking a little sad and forlorn. The previous agent’s attempt was just that – an attempt. Unfortunately it did not capture the LUSTER and SPACE of this Mid-Century Modern Ranch with it’s soaring ceilings, T&G paneling and master suite!! The seller was getting worried that the house wasn’t going to sell. After being referred to me by some friendly neighbors I walked her through the staging process and explained how staging and professional photography would help sell her house.

If you are on the fence about which listing agent to hire to sell your home, talk to friends and neighbors and get their opinion about the agents who work in your Neighborhood. I STRONGLY SUGGEST WORKING WITH AN AGENT WHO USES STAGING TO SELL THEIR LISTINGS…. WHY?? Just look at the pictures below!!

By the way this Northcrest Mid-Century Modern Home is for sale at BLOW-OUT PRICING $189k. It needs a little TLC, but has tons of potential, tons of space and a very private manageable fenced backyard!

"What can I say, we bought the first house Vanessa showed us. She seemed to know exactly what we were looking for and lead us right to it. It fit the style, price and level of revamping we were looking for. She negotiated with the seller and took great care of us from start to finish. We were pretty inexperienced as to how the buying process and negotiation worked. Vanessa helped us make decisions we were comfortable and beyond happy with, never feeling pressured and always given our options. She also is an incredible source of information, from the skinny on the neighborhood to trustworthy contractors to interior design. I highly recommend Vanessa."
