Sometimes I think I don't post enough masculine design.. This space is amazing (as is the car).. it is a little something for the guys out there.
I love the sofa and the contrast with the walls along with the artwork and industrial pieces.
I would love to hear from you.. leave a guy comment below so I know you are there if you want to.

I have been seeing a lot of great examples of stacked artwork lately and I really love the personal feel that it seems to give to the spaces. Many of them are living areas but it seems to work over the bed too. I love the mix of sizes and mediums for something that feels truly eclectic. It is just a little bit different from the art collage that we typically see in the way that many of these collections reach the ceiling, which is fun and different. I am thinking of adding to some of my collages in my own home to get this feeling and to keep up those photos that I just don't want to hide away.

My husband and I went to a lovely dinner last weekend. It was a work-related event, so that is always fun to see people you have not seen in a while. Good food, good company, and a short commute; that always makes a perfect evening. When the night was over, we were presented with a beautiful pair of candlesticks. They are lovely. I am considering myself lucky, because I have some other candlesticks at home......although, nothing like these.
I would like to display my candlesticks. You know, don't just save it for company, use it everyday. Only, I am not exactly sure how to make a candlestick arrangement. Here are some ideas that I like
It seems that the trick is to keep all the candles the same color. I love the glitter ones. Do you cluster your candles?

I love the slightly disorganized feeling here... everything is so simple and clean that it seems to work. It reminds me of my everyday.. slightly askew and perfectly out of balance!
Have a wonderful Friday!

I have been working on my china hutch. As I mentioned
in this post, I am not happy with the finish so more tweaking is in order (pictures to come). In the mean time...until the stain is dry...I thought I would get some ideas on how to style a hutch. Styling a hutch or bookcase is a true art. I am so envious of all the people who make it look so effortless.....I am not one of them. Here are some china collections that I find inspirational.

Do you display your china? Is it stylized?

I love the idea of an eclectic wall arrangement. It takes some work and a lot of time to get it right but it can be so fun when it comes together.
What about you- do you like everything symmetrical and neat or does balanced and fun do the trick?

I know I know.. we have seen it all before... I am wondering though do you prefer the mismatched sizing of a gallery wall or the organized defined area of pieces that are all framed the same?
I am a mismatched girl myself and have them all around the house filled with family pictures and vintage documents alike. I am running out of walls though and need to figure something out as I still love artwork and will definitely need to add more to my collection..
I am loving the bottom pic of the vintage oil paintings..

I've promised to post on details this year. It has fallen a bit wayside since we had some large things to take care of... but it always has a special place in my heart. This Sunday is gray and cool and sprinkled with rain, it's the perfect time to muddle around the house and play with details...I like to create small vignettes, they never last long but give me us pleasure for sometimes a day or

On a recent trip to Florida, yes to escape the AWFUL winter we had, I strolled into Mecox Gardens.
EVERYTHING in the store made my mind race with ideas. However, the most inspiring project idea for myself, was the way everyday plants were displayed.
I am working on my inspiration project this week, and will post it soon!

Day dreaming of being in this amazing place...
and loving that basket of goodies on the ground below the table.
So very perfect!
I am so thankful that my little sis gave me a subscription to Cote Sud for Christmas now I can dream about France all year long!
Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

This is just a little bit of me... playing with some of the new things that I picked up at the flea market.
I was thinking the other day about the flea market and how much I love going. It is the trill of the hunt, I love finding things that have a history and make me smile. They can be quirky and beautiful and when they all come together they say something about the newest owner.
I find when I am there that I have a huge range of things that catch my eye. Even though I love some things they are not meant for me. I keep them here while they wait for another home. So I put up a little section in the
shop that is perfect for these things..
A little on line
flea market just for you..
Don't miss your chance to win from Shabby Apple

Happy February!
