Horizontal planks, love. Large horizontal tiles...in gray? Double love.

Three's A Crowd

LOVE this room with not one but 3 ottomans....The rest of the house is great too, definitely a breath of fresh air. The fretwork in the other rooms is amazing, be sure to check it out. I was going to only post the ottoman picture but I had to include these as well.

Gilt & ShelterPop- A Match Made In Heaven

Today ShelterPop and Gilt are teaming up for a fabulous sale that will run through Saturday featuring goods for the home. Be sure to go check it out as items will be going quickly. (Also, the first 5,000 people to sign up will get a $10 Gilt credit). One item for sale will be this SFERRA 1891 Gimlet quilt, $70-$90 for a twin/queen. If you are not familiar with SFERRA, their bedding is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
I would use this quilt on a bed in a neutral room as an easy way add color. For example, as a change from the yellow (easy to change back and forth)...
Or maybe thrown across the chair or folded on the bench...

This is a great example of where I was going with adding just a little color...
Here is a great visual as well...

Now That Is A Headboard

As if that headboard isn't impressive enough, can you believe this is just a guest house?
I would love to be a guest there! Images House Beautiful

Today...

Today I turn one year older (the last of my 20's for those of you wondering) and I hope to have some time to sit, relax and just be still. My birthday wish would be for that sitting place to look like this...
And while I really "need" exciting items such as new tires (ugh don't get me started) I hope to get one thing that I "don't need"...perhaps this....
A mini polaroid camera!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! If you are waiting for an e-mail from me I promise to catch up soon.

A Lovely End To The Week

Yesterday I went to ADAC's Veranda Panel that featured Alessandra Branca, Robin Wilson and Windsor Smith. All three were wonderful and inspiring. More to come on that but I thought it I would end the week with images of Windsor's work. Most images have made their way around the blog world several times but I never get sick of looking at them....
Everyone's favorite kitchen....this is where she entertains instead of a dining room, love it.That is her pup...

Dayka, it was such a pleasure to meet you!!!!!!

In the search to find this picture to show a client....(we were looking for a light similiar to this one)...

Sigh, hello gray cabinets, you will live in my home one day.

The Superbowl - From A Room Perspective

In the spring I did the Final Four by color so I thought I would do the same thing for the Superbowl coming up this weekend. First the Colts, blue and white, a decorating favorite...Now onto the Saints..black and gold (and harder to find)....

Wood Kitchen Floors

A while back I asked for opinions on wood floors for bathrooms. Well, the response was great and now I want to know what you think about wood floors in the kitchen! I have only had tile (I have yet to have any input into a kitchen that I live in) but I think I would like wood. Are there downsides though? Dents, dings, spills? Let me know what you think!Image Veranda
