A BASKET FOR YOU?

How do you use your baskets????? What warmth a basket can add to a room! And, not only do they look good, but they are functional, as well. And, even better they come in all shapes, sizes, and forms! Oh...the many ways you can use a basket.

A PILLOW OR 2

Not long ago, I blogged about John Robshaw. This FANTASTIC creative mind that spits out festive, young textiles. I ran across this picture and had to share. Pillows! Along with chairs and luggage, it is another one of my obsessions. Like paint on a wall a couple pillows can change the entire look of a room. Enjoy!

DRIVING AROUND TOWN....

And, not with the boy I love....but, alone. I sped fast but not far past this little place before my spedometer went from 65 to 15mph. And, my car no longer headed west but in a more familar direction...east. As I pulled up and wondered how I was going to park without A. getting taken out by passing traffic or B. parking without getting a nail in my tire. I think it's really places like this that hold the best....FIND ME AND MAKE ME PRETTY TREASURES. And, of course ones braveness to dig in the black, jumbled corners. I took as many pictures as I could...but, couldn't waste all my time snapping and not digging.

HALLOWEEN EVE

OK....So, It's HALLOWEEN EVE folks! And, I only find it appropriate to post a couple HALLOWEEN themed treats about 10-31-2010. If your having a party tonight, then maybe you can find a little inspiration and ideas. ENJOY!

OPPOSITES ATTRACT

I sure do love this interior space! Old....new.....black.....white.....shiny....matte. Who says you need a rug in a room? It work's just fine without one in this space. Don't you think? Oh....PS....check out the black mouldings, my fav!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND....

OK....So, with my new job driving in 4 of the southern states. I can't help myself but to pull off the roads I travel to stop at the MANY antique stores I pass. Trust me.... there is no way I can stop at all of them. So, I tell myself next time for some...but, I lucked out at this little store next to a 2 lane paved road. What do you think? Well... I bought it anyway. Not sure where I am going to put it...uhhhh. It's from the Art Deco period. Are yall starting to see a pattern here? I tend to favor pieces from that period. At least I am consistent, right? So, back to the chandelier, should I paint it? Or leave it gold/brass? Give me your opinions, please.

TRUE AMERICAN STYLE

He always seems to get it right....and never even comes close to getting it wrong. In his modern Manhattan apartment, Mr. Ralph Lauren has created a true American atmosphere. His style speaks for itself and his selections of texture and scale are flawless. I am madly in love with those industrial vintage light fixtures. So tell me, what's your favorite element of the space?
