This trip instead of going to my usual places, I visited 3 stores I'd never been to before. First up was a visit to <a href="http://www.anthonywolfcollection.com/">Anthony|Wolfe</a> in Buckhead. Love the wide fabric stripe on these upholstered chairs and the pairing of this warm, deep yellow with the earthy gray.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJut78igvhlx8h7XRdveDTUpXOw8rdnioXnUQbPQdwXw-ZQDNa9axkwJLUbd5U1JXN4akLjHTHw86isIb7cGTuM-PrUGzKdm9i3pa1mZh_FOM5FSWnTkXe24VJNlvg0B_n8tiEzFzmpGHg/s1600/P1110542.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623444497825260066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJut78igvhlx8h7XRdveDTUpXOw8rdnioXnUQbPQdwXw-ZQDNa9axkwJLUbd5U1JXN4akLjHTHw86isIb7cGTuM-PrUGzKdm9i3pa1mZh_FOM5FSWnTkXe24VJNlvg0B_n8tiEzFzmpGHg/s400/P1110542.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" /></a><b>No</b>, this is not an amazing giant door knocker but actually a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333399;">disability grip bar</span>!
