Which to choose?

Can you help me choose which liquid soap dispenser for my

guest bath,

PLEASE...

I posted on this bath a bit back,but have been indecisive about accessories

yes, an interior designers to get stumped!

Should I go for whimsy like this mustache choice?

Would a French inspired  fixture compliment my statue?

I do not always have the vase of flowers in the room, sometimes it is a large ceramic

bowl filled with big square French soaps...

perhaps the dispenser made with an old mason jar

in the 1st pic would repeat the

 glass element in the bathroom?

 what you cannot see is the flooring is a new, reproduction tile...

what do you prefer?

I would love to hear your choice,

thanks,

Karen

Linked to beautiful -WHITE WEDNESDAY

Wedding Centerpiece

 

As I am finalizing all the details for my client's daughter's wedding

for which I am the wedding planner

it occurred to me that I had not shown you the entrance piece I made for my sister's

50th Wedding Anniversary party...

My sister, Colleen,  was a beautiful bride again,

Richie, her handsome groom...

A cloud of goldtone sparkled dragonflies greeted guests...

  

A great tip, I put together the urn at home -here in my kitchen-
by filling in the base with Styrofoam

 then adding the wild natural branches...

also tested how the vintage mirror would look underneath...

so all I had to do once I arrived at the reception room was put on all

the dragonfly ornaments I had made...

they were also the guest's favors-

hope you enjoyed...

Last week it was snowing here in

New England

and next week is Easter!

Where did the time go?

I love everything about

EASTER 

Nothing like a girl with her pet, here is Holly in faux fur, with my yorkie, Krumpet

Are you ready for the holiday?

Romantic Pink

Pink has always been a color that I gravitate to, Especially in my bedroom.
 Here are a few pics of my bureau top...

where pink is predominate from my jewelry to an old faded photo of my twin brother and I...

a pair of old lamps with roses started the whole collection of objects.

  

My bed side table always warms me up

but I thought it needed color for the Springtime... 

So Voila,

I added feathers...

this tickles my sensibilities

then added a sweet sequin crown...

and from this came alot of inspiration

For my BRAYTON BLUSH COLLECTION.

  



Thank you for looking, hope you enjoyed the ambiance...
