Design Indulgence

I can't believe I am even blogging cause I know everyone is in a Christmas coma right?   I spent yesterday with family.....my 2 sisters [my brother lives in Hilton Head] niece and nephew, and a friend of 42 years!  We were flight attendants together and met when I was 24 and she was 28. This had to be in the 70's! Of course I made it in black and white because old people look better....ha ha My niece and her man.  They are hip and live in NYC You have heard me talk about my nephew who lives in Chicago and got married 2 years ago....baby coming! Wasn't he the cutest kid? Can you believe it?  I got my wreath hung around 11:00 am on December 24th!   Some lights also.  It wasn't a Christmas explosion or anything but hey......effort was made. And guess what? After 2 years of talking about it I bought a car on Thursday. Now we have a black and a white car parked in front of my house....all is right with the world. My car was 14 years old.....Lord the te...

Lord it has been a while since I have had a good before and after!   But before we get all "designy" thanks for all of your suggestions about my nasty rotten cold.  After a week and a half I think I've turned the corner.  It's weird because I feel like such a complainer...... and I think it was because I forgot what a cold feels like! I better save that for something serious like cancer.   Lesson learned. OK....down to business.  We had not gotten to my clients guest room yet but they were having family for Christmas and he asked if there was a way I could turn it around quickly. You guys know I am always up for a challenge [even sick] so I accepted. Luckily there was furniture so it was mostly the fun stuff. They were waiting for the mattress which came on Tuesday. Before I wasn't going to reinvent the wheel since I only had about a day and 1/2 to shop. After I stuck with white bedding.....sheets from PB Duvet from BBB and the coverlet from Targe...

Well..... I am still sick and it doesn't seem like it is waning at all.  In fact I can't remember what it is like to feel good. I'm just trudging through the days in a complete haze zoned out on over the counter meds.....red for day and blue for night. Bah Humbug right..... I don't have much today but I thought I would share some images from a cute store I visited down in Palm Beach. I wanted everything in there...so organic!    Love the colors in this rug! It's part vintage....mixed in with pillows and such. My first thought when I entered was it had a very California vibe....and come to find out the owners are from Cali.....The husband was there and said his wife had worked for Peter Dunham. I am seriously in love with her curated styling! I am smitten with the vintage pottery thrown in and of course nothing says "vintage California vibe" like throwing in some old baskets and blankets.
