julian chichester....




so this is a company that i have used and think they have some amazing products. they do a fine job of giving a contemporary feeling to classic designs...that fish scale finish on the chest of drawers is gorgeous! and the polished nickel base on the Dakota dining table- hello!! if they have it in stock, the product is yours very quickly (it comes from NC). if you happen to be hitting High Point, you should checkout their sample sale...the beautiful chocolate velvet library sofa will be there!

wings.....

i think that this is a great photograph by clifton henri, available thru shop SCAD. i would love to have it in my daughter's room so she would know with a little imagination anyone can have "wings"....

having a fam doesn't make style stop....














if i had to "classify" myself as the type of mom i want to be then make me a cookie mom. that magazine just screams stylish when it comes to having a family. and that is where i found these "fierce" homes (i had to do a shout out for christian...i won't start using that word)!! they have a whole section of house tours that features their readers' homes. i don't know what it is but i love some online house tours...its like you are spying on someone...taking in how they live. i'm a total sucker for that!

wonder cabinet...




you know when you get lost in a "search", well that is how i stumbled upon these amazing silkscreen prints by wonder cabinet. i love them and the fact that the etsy artist, amy walsh, does the screening on old book pages just makes them that much more special (some of the books go back to the mid 1800's)! i can so see a grouping of these on a wall in my house (maybe my bedroom w/ its vastness of blank walls)....

bringing the outdoors in...














the items you see at marsh, a new orleans shop, just might have you rethinking exterior decor...i can see so many of these pieces translating beautifully inside of a home. this month's cottage living featured b. braithwaite's own, chaffee braithwaite, and her bungalow is all about bringing the garden indoors.

are you a victim...

of over design?? when i reached this page in southern accents, i just stopped and stared. i fell in love with the simplicity of this look. it just felt right. so many times, we get caught up in getting things "perfect" that we tend to overdo...here is a perfect example of how nice modesty can feel....oh, and a hint of patent leather never hurts....
