Some decorating ideas to inspire your long weekend

Well, folks, I've spent this morning lovingly scanning, cropping, and trying to get rid of the horrid stripes my scanner leaves on my images - guess you get what you pay for. Anyway, we have a long weekend, and, if on the off-chance you'll be indoors, I hope I leave you with some yummy ideas to incorporate into your decor. Happy weekend!


I love "high beds." The quilt on this is gorgeous, too.

The stool above was a stuffy, dark, upholstered piece. It was repainted white and the upholstery was replaced with a glass top.

I've never seen the idea of little pictures hung in a grid under one larger picture - but I like it!

Hanging a picture on a bookshelf is an all-time fav. look of mine!


If you have/find some pretty brackets, you could use this idea and safe some floor space by creating a "nightshelf," as opposed to a nightstand.

Beautiful spaces - unique furniture and accessories

I don't think I need to say much here. These goodies are from Lombok. Sadly for us Americans it's in the UK, but I can't help myself! I'll leave alone with the beauty for now...






This cracked glaze stole is so pretty


I love Lombok's palettes






Oh how I would love to have this chest


...and this armoire

Stylish eco homegoods

I love the holidays; there's nothing like my mother's baking and seeing all of my sisters, family, and dog. One thing that does irk me about the holidays, however, is the amount of packaging and wrapping that is left over. So, this year I will be wrapping with pages from magazines, and also trying to give eco-friendly gifts.


Terra Furnishings has tons of really gorgeous and unique wood end tables and stools. This drum shaped one was one of my favorites.

A restaurant on the block where I used to live has these intricately carved panels lining the walls. I always thought they had them custom made!

Love the dramatic chandelier

I'm a sucker for baskets, they hide all manners of things you've yet to organize ;)
