I can always count on IKEA.

Don't Forget..TOP DESIGN

I know I usually discuss Interior Design on my blog, but I can't

help but mix in an occasional fashion post.

I am continually inspired by all types of design.

I've had this tear out for years. Liseanne Frank is the jeweler.

Her style is fresh + vintage. Again, the contrast

of new and old that I love....

Her warm, chunky, nature inspired pieces are perfect for the Fall.....

The individual photographs pictured are still available.

Demi Moore is a fan,

This ring is the perfect everyday piece.

How cool are these rings?


love....now I just need to start saving my pennies...

How Glamorous...

I love lighting, it can work wonders for any interior. Right now, Gwen Carlton's Urban Forest designs top my list. They are all hand made in New York's Hudson Valley and come in a number of finishes! The capiz shell designs are gorgeous too!

HAPPY LABOR DAY!

In the town where I grew up, there was an annual fair at the end of

the Summer. So for me, photos of carnivals bring back memories

of enjoying my limited number of barefoot days,

barbecues, + boat rides! Have a great weekend

+ if you are from a locale with a brief Summer season,

soak it up while you can!!

Mix it up: Vintage Tableware

There is something so fresh and fun about mixing

vintage tableware in with your everyday

china + porcelain! Below I've listed a few websites that sell

only "vintage tableware".Another option is to discover your

own goodies at a yardsale ormaybe you desire a repro

that just looks old, but has nevergraced another table...

in any case..

Happy Hunting!
