Be inspired: Blue and Vanilla

 

For the past few days these colors have been coming up over and over again for me.  I love the combination with a little bit of gold or brown mixed in..  perfection!

Design inspiration {the musket room}

 

Just a short time ago I came across a photo of the this beautiful space and just last night I came upon another, only this time it had some additional information..  The Musket Room in Manhattan is gorgeous!  I am so excited to use this space as inspiration for a new commercial space I am starting on.  It is amazing with the use of texture and light.  Perfectly perfect if I don't say so myself!

Happy Monday my friends!

Adding a little color...

 

There is just something about textiles that I love..  vintage, new, colorful, textured you name it.  I pretty much love them all.  I am starting up a few new projects this week and I have been playing with fabric for the past few days.  I could not be happier!  I love how this simple space is transformed with the splashes of color each fabric adds in.  Perfection.

Jenny Andrews-Anderson artwork..

 

I have a thing for art.. all mediums and so many different styles.  I fell for Jenny's art over the summer and the feeling continues on today!  I love her pieces because they seem so alive and would bring a space to life so easily.  Bold beautiful colors mixed perfectly.  There are 2 pieces in my office that I need to frame and hang still and I cannot wait!  Check out some of her other pieces and grab one for yourself - you will love it...

Bold in black... 47 Park Avenue

 

I came across a single image from this gorgeous home on pinterest and fell hard!  This is such an inspiring space, and just one of many on Micheal's blog.   He covers their renovation in beautiful detail and the results are enough to make me want to paint everything black and white and add bold mixes of color.  It is beyond wonderful! 

 

 

I love the pups too!  They also have an English bulldog that is not pictured here.. yes I may have stalked the blog a little!

What I've been up to and a note...

 

We had quite an eventful weekend for having nothing to do...

I spent a little bit of time going through the goodies from our container and arranging a few little things that I bought for myself along with a lot of laundering of vintage French linens.  One of my favorite things that I could not wait to get were the books that I bought from Sharon when we were staying at her house... love them!

We had dinner outside by the pool which was lovely, and the caprese was perfection.

 

I rearranged my mirror collage in the living room finally, adding some bigger pieces and a variety of shapes.

 A quick visit to the flea market and the farmers market on Sunday morning was in order, then a late lunch with my sisters and mom!

 

My last little note is about a comment that I received on a post about spelling.. I will say that I am not a wonderful speller and I will never win a spelling bee, I rely heavily on spell check and I look up anything I am in doubt on, that is my pre-comment here.  I appreciate a nice email to help me when I have made a mistake, and I do get them and I do make them, however, I do not appreciate a rude comment form an Anonymous commenter correcting me when I was already correct.  Please understand that many of us write blogs because we enjoy them and because we like to share with others, please don't waste anybody's time, yours or mine by being mean or rude.  That just ruins it for everyone because it makes the writer hesitant to be themselves, and it makes us edit comments heavily to keep your negativity to a minimum.  I will tell you the same thing I tell my kids BE NICE!  

There are so many wonderful readers out there and I do hope you will continue to comment as it lets me know you are still out there, please forgive me for my little rant!!  

Happy Monday! :)

 p.s. here are a couple of little pictures from our container that we unloaded last week.  We will be having a little sale and gathering to celebrate.  More to come this week on that!
