I WANTED TO SHARE SOME IMAGES THAT GRABBED MY ATTENTION THIS WEEK
and a lovely chunky chipped shelf and
equally lovely arrangement of photos, candles and soft green glass
and its cousin - with hardware for hanging fluffy white towels
vintage buffet-turned-vanity
a look I love
I'm on the lookout for a nice buffet, long enough for two sinks
to refinish or paint for my master bath
 |
| Pottery Barn |
Linen headboard and bed - with big chunky nail heads
makes me want to crawl right in
 |
| Etsy.com |
Lovely little handcrafted pincushions...
gray linen and crochet
a burlap banner with thick satin ribbon
and stenciled letters - simple - elegant
Soothing gray and cream dining room
everything in this room is so lovely
lost my source on this as well - if you recognize it, let me know...
Completely smitten by these fluffy pompoms from book pages or newsprint
the tissue ones are simple to make, would these be as easy?
and love it is . . . love the black and white flower photography
and the lovely gray walls
love the blog -
Abode Love
more loveliness -
my hallway could use a face lift.....
sheer fantasy,
but oh-so-fun suspended boat bed
quintessentially French Gray
ArcoBaleno
like peeking into a soothing gray world
Soon
I hope it doesn't rain too much
clever little bulletin board
would be simple to make - a frame, some paint, a little chicken wire....
a stone angel to add to my collection
Someday I will figure out what I want to do with them all
I love black and white photography and I love Cary Grant
he may have had nothing to do with interior design
but his style was impeccable
I just had to add this elegant image to my favorites of the week
hmmm, lovely!
romantic, inviting
Etsy.com (maisieandalice)
so clever!
pardon me while I drool
I must make it to this antique show/flea market some day
Marburger Antique show - Round Top, Texas
I would need a large truck, and some driving companions
any takers????
if I ever have a back yard large enough to accommodate a separate studio/office
it will look exactly like this
the clipped boxwood,
the lady's mantle,
and gravel path,
the ironwork stepping stone,
the door - oh my, the door -
I'm in love....
monochromatic - soothing and soft
limestone cottages - quaint and charming
the Cotswolds, England
I'm coming....
taupe and gray with gilded half columns
this is what fear looks like
mother nature about to unleash her fury
a storm cell - the kind that breeds tornadoes
the kind that recently left so much destruction and devastation in its path
in the southern United States
how can anything so terrifying be so incredibly beautiful?
I'm fascinated with this site and its amazing and terrifying photos
you must visit it...
Vintage photos, faded and worn, are my addiction
I love these images
these windows into the past
this one is of my father
I love the shadowed face -
the hat,
the white shirt,
the picket fence I remember as a very very small child
he had a style all his own
and I miss him
I hope you enjoyed my favorites - please tell me about yours!

Ok, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog. I have saved so many pictures from it to my desktop, in my "Someday" file. I can get lost for long periods of time observing the pictures and schemes you've chosen. It's simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I wondered if you would consider doing a Small Bathroom post, for those of us with minimal powder room space. I know I could really use your help making my bathroom an oasis, instead of a place, I hurry in and out of, as fast as possible!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, you are fabulous!

Emily,
Thank you. You made my day. I will definitely arrange a post on smaller powder rooms! I have one myself and it also needs a little facelift!
If you like, I can let you know via email when it is posted - or you can become a follower if you aren't already following the blog.
Best wishes!
Gorgeous photos!! Paint-chipped & weathered wood, monochromatics, taupe's, creams and grays...I am definitely drawn more to those colours. I scrolled down slowly to read your notes and to view each photo, Then I gasped, as I knew immediately that was Grandpa Erickson before I even read your notes...it looks SO much like my Dad when he was younger. .I saved the photo to my desktop so Griffin can have this handsome photo of his Great Grandpa Erickson!
Adore your website and ideas...you're a talented woman! XOXOXO Love, Cindy

I am working on making the paper pom poms from a damaged vintage book I saved in my attic. I will let you know how it goes! Your blog inspires me so much so thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and ideas!
