Autumnal tones

With Fall comes Autumnal colors in all shades, in this instance, sherbet tones to match my client's room. Decorating around the room's decor is achieved by gathering things from around the house, putting them together in new ways and buying what is needed; always a pleasure to create. Enjoy...

It was a perfectly magical wedding
for a perfectly lovely couple...
My sister & I had fun making masks
for the guests to wear when the couple were
announced
and entered the room..
My Wedding card I made for them, hehe...

Everyone had the greatest time
as reflected by the very beautiful bride...
Was so glad my beautiful Mom, Olive, now 87
was able to attend,

Beauty Rest...

A lovely wedding took place in our family this weekend. It was a whirlwind, elegant soiree that required resting after much dining and dancing. So, for now I think I will just rest here looking pretty. Stay tuned for wedding photos...

In the Pink

Hi!
Hope your Halloween was full of ghost peeps and Reese's bars. At least that makes a perfect day for me, and vintage items like needlepoint and anything pink!
enjoy....

Over the River and Through the Woods...

....to Grandmother's house we go...
Especially if she resides in a thatched cottage...
This beautiful OLD needlepoint depicts an enchanted country cottage. With its thatched roof and pastoral scenery it perfectly evokes the spirit of the upcoming holidays. Very shabby chic. Oh, to be so tattered and yet so lovely…

Workspace Wednesday IV

Isn't this workspace tucked into a little nook delightful? Equipped with laptop and printer, file cabinet and shelving, it has all you could desire. All rooms need a chandelier, don't you think? A charming slip covered chair, a voluminous curtain, a sweet lamp and personal mementos create a lovely setting that I could work at all day! enjoy...

Barn Renovation

I LOVE this Barn Renovation! Wish there was still a barn in my backyard but it was torn down about 50 years ago; I dream of rebuilding one someday and it would resemble this warm and welcoming interior. Barn board walls and rugged support beams mix seamlessly with white furniture accented by a kilmn covered ottoman.
A perfect place to spend an Autumn day...
