Coco would be pleased

Don't you think Coco Chanel would be please with this French inspired bedroom I designed? My wonderful clients live in a lovely old home near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Large tapestry pillows thick with fringe play off the Claude Monet garden inspired wallpaper. To rest under the fluffy down comforter or on the chaise lounge tucked nicely in the corner, oh the choices!

Up High in a Turret

Imagine the inhabitant of this sherbet toned Victorian charmer. She paints away the days high in the turret, her yorkie by her side. Oops, I daydream...

Isn't this painting wonderful? It is created by the artist Kim VanDerHoek. All Kim's work seems magical to me~ soft, and soothing yet powerful in message and technique. Visit her lovely blog to see her other fine work, you'll love her paintings too. I must get back to my turret in the sky.......
