Everyone seems to be getting into the spirit this year! Dawn has been checking out some great cocktail venues to visit this holiday season: My first stop was Miracle on Monroe, a pop-up bar in Midtown Promenade where Tapa Tapa is usually located. Starting Thanksgiving, however, a Miracle occurred Elves apparently swooped in and decorated, […]
This month through pure coincidence, Dawn was doing some reflecting and found herself focusing on Appreciation. With the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner it made perfect sense that she share her thoughts about how being appreciative has helped and continues to help direct her life, personal and business-wise. To read Dawn’s blog post, click here: Looking […]
Well, we did it! Three coats of paint on the cabinets, the fanciest hardware imaginable, a touch-function faucet, beautiful if a bit fragile countertops, painted blinds and a newly painted bar cabinet all make up a kitchen we are very happy with in the end. Painting cabinets is not to be taken lightly. Make sure […]
So, a search of Open Table shows availability at some of our favorite restaurants. We haven’t reviewed them all but I have provided notes in case any of you didn’t get an invite to Grandma’s house Capital Grill – Fabulous steak house in Buckhead with nice views toward Midtown if the Streets of Buckhead haven’t blocked them […]
For 2017, I was asked to join our office’s ALC, Agent Leadership Council. I was very honored to have been asked so I signed up, having no real idea what that meant but what the heck… As it turned out, one of the benefits of being on the ALC is we get leadership training over […]
This month we look into the Serenbe community just outside Atlanta, including photos from our recent tour and comments/thoughts from a Midtown/Serenbe family. And, as always, we have all the good stuff, including upcoming events, featured listings and DIY tips (with personal experiences from Dawn herself). At Environs, we value you, your time & your business […]
A Kitchen Rehab Story, by Dawn Landau So we went and did it…finally. After years of threatening to get started, buying tile, contemplating cabinetry paint colors and general procrastinating, we pulled the trigger on a kitchen facelift…at our OWN HOUSE! Terry and I (well, me really) have been talking about updating (i.e., getting rid of […]
by Dawn Landau Earlier this month, a group of my friends, along with my husband and I had the pleasure of getting a personal (golf cart) tour of Serenbe from founder Steve Nygren (it was part of a chef dinner silent auction prize through Project Open Hand). Steve welcomed us to his very different community, […]
This fabulous month of September, where the temperatures are (occasionally) dropping and the leaves are most definitely following their seasonal gravital path, the exuberant and ambitious Environs Real Estate team headed out to some of Atlanta’s music scenes. We hit just a few, so if you have your own favorites you want us to review, […]
John and Dawn decided to try something different this month. Instead of picking one neighborhood in Atlanta, they picked the popular and almost always delicious restaurant category of Farm-to-Table. So we have 3 reviews for you Leon’s Full Service in Decatur, Sprig in Oak Grove, and Bistro Niko in Buckhead – yes, we know, Dawn […]
