Book away the summer

My living room's books have company with another

 dog under glass.

You may remember my dogs under glass cloche on a 

silver tray on my coffee table...

This is my favorite dog figurine of all. It may be a copy of the

RCA dog.

Surrounded by paperweights, a pleasant vignette it make,

hope you enjoyed !

So excited and honored to be featured at

Dogs in my living room

I took some photos of the opposite wall to my living room mantle showed on my last blog post. Thank you for your kind words on my mantle of mementos. 

My circa 1796 home still has many of it's original architectural features.

    

You can get a peak of the lovely raised panel wainscoting that I really love. It is painted a brown color, my fav go to color. Creamy white wallpaper and tapestry old Victorian couch

keep things light.

An old preschool table is my coffee table; it holds a huge silver tray and porcelain dogs. 

A side view highlights wood beams, a sculpture form Rome and family photos. I prefer the contrast of dark deep tones like brown, navy blue and burgundy against creams and tans; kind of my decorating signature personally and professionally..

A big tapestry bow holds a reproduction painting and is flanked by wall shelves.

The houndstooth hat that the dog figurine is sporting is actually

 Krumpets!

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!
