Which would you choose?


Hi there, so happy its the weekend. I have had an insanely busy week between various commitments, things going on in my own home, it was non stop.  Really happy its over. I need sleep, a glass of wine, relaxation and maybe some retail therapy! And of course its the big granddaddy of them all for all the sports fans.....the Superbowl! We are headed to a good friends house who has us over every year (except for last where we had them here since we had just moved and it felt just wrong to not be home). For me, if I am to be honest its all about the food, its kind of like being given the license to eat and enjoy whatever strikes my fancy on that one special day.  Though I am not a huge football fan,  this years story of two opposing teams that happen to each have coaches as  brothers does make a great story. How about you? Anything special on your agenda?

This is a fun post, and not a lot of thinking is required just in case you are feeling like me and utterly exhausted from a long week. There is no typical scenario like I normally dream up, this is more about first instincts. When you look at these various spaces, different rooms of a home, which most says "you"? Which room can you totally see yourself being at home in? The beauty of interior design is how subjective it is and how many different but equally wonderful styles there are. There is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to personal spaces, just a matter of what feels good to you.

Try to go with your gut instinct and what grabs you at first bite sight. Sometimes over thinking  things misleads us. For me it came down to two but when I allowed myself to react impulsively I immediately gravitated towards one, it just feels like 'me"..it was a no brainier. So how about you? I look forward to hearing what's your fave.....

  Whoa! I think no matter what your style may be....these are all spectacular in their own right. In the end beautiful design comes down to what makes you happy and comfortable. It is so important to love where you live and not feel like you live in a museum or trophy room but rather a home  and I do mean every single room should be a place where  you can put your feet up and get comfy! So.....which is it for you? Tell me what about the room that speaks to you...I always love to know how the thought process works.  This is going to be so interesting! Enjoy your day.....

Say hello to the new kids in town and a little store biz!


Hi there. Such a busy week over here. Finally today, I am not busy dong something every hour and will have a few hours to just "chill" (though that really means catching up with my looong list of errands).
 I was so excited to finally get some of the tole pieces I had told you about a few weeks ago. Few things in life get me this excited at this stage of the game. Just cannot seem to totally squelch my thirst for this stuff....so having an online store is a great way to "have my cake and eat it too", you  know my motto "one for me and one for you"! This is an exceptional line of stunning handpainted tole pieces. I looooove this line. If you are like me and love chinoiserie, tole and all those kinds of things, then you will love this!

I only got in a handful of each item so these will not be going online right away, if you want to inquire about something, just email me. Click here.

Beautiful planter with scenery and you know how I feel about black.....
And how about this gorgeous green tole chinoiserie decorative "jar"....its a love for me!
This is what makes me happy!


And this stunning moss green lamp with beautiful handpainted metal shade...so beautiful!

Its all in the details.....

LOVE this color!!
And how pretty is this cache pot? Love the detailing and the scalloped design, so classic!



Same pot also available in a smaller tall planter.....could see orchids or moss orbs in these.


Love love love these beautiful planters, the detailing is soooooo pretty!
And
This is such an elegant wastebasket, and you know I love this with a white hydrangea in a blue and white dish!


Another beautiful classic wastepaper basket...so elegant in black!
These darling planters come in pairs, so pretty!
Moving onto porcelains.......I was so excited to get 8 more of this spectacular hexagon planter. I had gotten a bunch of these way back last spring, and sold out almost right away. I wasn't able to get more until recently and here they are!! In stock and ready to ship. Below is a picture of my own pair and an azalea topiary. Love these!
 And this oversized soup tureen is a beauty. Comes with the wooden stand love the foo dog lid.
 As pretty at Christmas time with amaryllis and pinecones
As it is in the spring with a beautiful white azalea topiary.......
 Love this gorgeous oversized orange and blue Imari bowl, comes with stand. Its a beauty!


My gorgeous napkin rings finally got the recognition they deserve! No longer under new additions they have earned their own little section on my online store. I will be continuously adding new styles to the shop, but for now most of the ones available can be seen online. They really are such special keepsakes, I am so happy to be carrying them. Click here to visit.






I have one tole tray for sale It is $115.00.  It says dark green but both my husband and I think its black or else its one heck of a dark green. You know the drill if you are interested, just email me!



My silver line continues to be one of my strongest categories. Proof that beautiful classic silver pieces are always in style I am excited to be getting about 6-7 new items that are just stupendous. Really gorgeous. And the long awaited flower bowl is finally coming! I am getting in a limited amount, 12 pieces of this very popular item! I know several were waiting on it.......




Lots more coming...will be sure to keep you posted! New wonderful loot will be arriving in the next few months including a new batch of dough bowls sometime in the next few weeks. If you want a dough bowl, definitely email me. They generally sell out within hours of my post. These are exceptional both in color, condition and size.


As always email me with any questions/inquires. Click here to email me. Thanks for stopping in to pay me a visit. Hope you have a fabulous day!
