Meet The Retropolitan Team - Amy!

First up.....Amy!

Amy Heimermann - Owner/Interior Stylist

First Car:  1976 Buick Electric, HUGE, bright yellow.  Called it The Banana.  Learned to parallel park in it, so I can park a tour bus on a dime!

Favorite Drink:  Three Days At Sea (Patterson House) or Chai Latte (Starbucks).

Favorite Nashville Restaurant:  Park Cafe

Favorite Retropolitan Memory:  Loading in vintage furniture on a 100 degree August day.  Super gross and sweaty and forgetting there was an interview with photos that day.

Favorite Retropolitan Music Playlist and Why:  Jazz.  It's snappy and fun.

Chandelier or Drum Pendant?  How about a chandelier inside a drum?  Chain mail is my fave!

Modern/Contemporary or Retro Design? Warm European Modern with bold antiques and colorful art.

Coffee or Tea?  Joe!

Favorite Color Palette at the Moment (Fall 2011):  Canary yellow and a mixture of every blue there is.

Nashville Lifestyles Magazine and Retropolitan Photo Shoot

Happy Saturday! It's absolutely gorgeous here in Nashville...maybe even a tad warm for October.  But I won't complain.  Not with winter right around the corner!

I wanted to share with you all some shots from a Nashville Lifestyles Magazine photo shoot that was shot here a little while back.  Entitled "A Man's Party: A Metro Man Meal with a Retropolitan Feel", the shoot took place in our courtyard using furniture and accessories from the store.

Check out the actual article at Nashville Lifestyles for some delicious Jack Daniel's inspired recipes - like Jack D's Pecan Smashed Sweet Potatoes, Crab stuffed Filet Mignon with JD's Peppercorn Sauce, and Chocolate Whiskey Truffles!  Article by Amanda Hardin, Photos by Wendy Hardin.

Cheers to a great weekend!
