Details, details…
I find myself thinking incessantly about all the details that i have to oversee to accomplish the opening of the new shop, and planning like crazy – writing orders, making timelines, overseeing each piece of the project so no detail gets lost in the shuffle…here are some favorite details of mine.
These two doors are attached to a great console cabinet.
This is a such a pretty stenciled door – i am trying to figure out how to remove it and put it in the new space.
Love the boiserie style molding on the walls!

Love the lacey look of the orchids.
An old shutter nailed to the wall is a great backdrop for this corner.
This vanity is very pretty with a soft muted gold painted molding.
Oh just love this old chandelier and the beaded shades give it just the right touch.
The lionhead gives this old looking urn just a little something more.
Sweet tray of trinkets.
A simple stencil makes this lampshade more special.
This pretty beadingis attached to the most amazing lamp shade.
Hope you enjoyed these details as much as i do!
Chandeliers are like jewelry
…the right one is amazing in a room – the crowning glory!
One of my favorite chandeliers…the Mayfair…when we have it in the shop we hang it low for impact. So pretty. The perfect balance of iron and crystal.
Sometimes you just need a good chair
Beautiful chairs are a weakness of mine….along with about ten thousand other things. This hancock & moore chair makes me want to curl up with my cup of tea and snuggle with that soft throw.
Actually, I’d love to curl up on any of these luscious seats….especially today – a good day for a nap!
My head is full of ideas, plans, supplies
I think the left side of my brain must look like this inside right now…it’s neatly organized into compartments – Everything looks lovely! But inside the right side…all my plans, ideas, the logistics of the actions required, the supplies etc are all stuffed to overflowing inside those neat little compartments…it must be a mess of chaos!
I am bursting at the seams with excitement about all the things that have to happen to get this new store open – the trick is to keep things on a neat schedule….i cant get ahead of myself. Chaos is good right?
My new favorite color
Ok its true that almost every day i have a new favorite color….but right now i am totally in love with Adagio – here’s a brownstone just completed using this beautiful & soothing color and I cant get it out of my mind!
Adagio was perfect – kind of a bluish/gray smokey color! I am going to use it in the new paris boudoir along with harbor haze, pink lace and paper white. Definitely getting the itch to start painting. And, of course there will be lots of 14K gold and warm silver.
The little hancock & moore slipper chair in the foreground is amazing. They came up with this process of metallizing leather and then lazer cutting it. It you run your finger over the leather it shimmers!
Off to continue the planning process!
