Whether its on a little fabric covered box like this or  on a chandelier ya gotta luv bling!

it makes a little jewlery pouch special…

or jazzes up a little perfume tester tray…

and pretty ribbons add feminine bling!

you can never have too much bling!

The need to be outdoors…

it was such a beautiful day on Tuesday i felt i had to get outside….  I had Wednesday off so i started thinking about projects i could do outside and decided to paint my adirondack chairs….they are a mess – so i’m going to give them a new life.  There is no question that they need some love…right now they are looking very sad in their very shabby paint – been out in the weather a bit too long.

Originally they were faux painted to sit beside a swimming pool surrounded by beautiful gardens in the back yard of a Showhouse that I worked on with a local landscaper…..that was ages ago!  I had my mom paint them a light blue reminiscent of the water with faux rhododendrums and morning glories on the backs.  They were so pretty.   Just look at them now!

Well, i just happen to have some paint left over from Little Paris….I am going to scrape these chairs up a bit and then apply the paint.  I am going to try to save the rhododendrums…we’ll see about that.

Voila!  They are beautiful again!

Conversation Chair makes for cozy talking

took a quick shot of this new conversation chair that just came in to The Whistling Elk…

I’s nice clean lines make it transitional….and the fabric, a nubby linen blend, is a soft off-white

 that will make this chair a star in many different settings.  The frame is a distressed black with nailhead trim.

Gotta love that detail!  It sits really nice and best of all the price is reasonable!

Two of these with a little table in between will improve the seating situation in any room!

Like this cute little table for instance…

It’s a distressed black but the center art is in gray tones.  It’s a great size for the chair.
