New Finds and Great Gifts...

We have updated our wall collage once again... I received this "B" John Derian plate as a gift from Dana for my birthday...she couldn't resist to get herself one also. We decided to hang them in our floral collage to give it a few more pops of orange. I have been staring at the wall all day...we love moving things around. How do you like our little Aztec man?
Favorite things in May: 1. John Derian table coaster ( gift from Dana) 2.My new vintage chandelier earrings 3. Inspired Interiors by Suzanne Kasler
New Addition: Our little friend who sits in the bookcase... Carved from a block of wood this man has so much character. His wife resides on a different shelf.

Chalkboard



One of my close friends is in the middle of decorating her new home and she has chosen to put a chalkboard in her kitchen...how fun! It is such a great idea to make any space have more personality. I don't have a picture of her chalkboard yet, but here are a few of my favorite displays using the same concept. (1. Carolina Herrera, Jr's chalkboard for Domino, 2. Domino Magazine, 3. Country Living)

Southern Hospitality


A weekend in the South will make you feel relaxed and refreshed. When I entered the Losh's I instantly remembered all the great antique finds that filled their home. Exhausted from traveling... I brought my luggage to the room where I would be staying. Fresh Flowers and an antique water decanter were sitting by the bedside. Ahhhhh...so nice!
Antique salt dishes... They were so tiny and delicate.
A hutch full of antique plates and green depression glass. The color is so beautiful and fresh. If I were able to have a garden party I imagine that I would want to use these plates...I love them for spring!
A collection of antique oil lamps. I loved looking at all the different shapes, sizes and colors they were able to find.
