Somerset Bay

How pretty and fun are these pieces of furniture by Somerset Bay?  Love them all.  I am drawn to them equally by the simple elegance of the decor and display in and on each one.  Great photography and use of warm happy lighting.    Enjoy, Heidi

Paint it Putty.

My mom's generation painted everything orange or avocado.  My generation painted everything white, then black and now putty.  Isn't it funny?  Enjoy, Heidi

Ballard Designs

 I fell in love with Ballard Designs many moons ago.  They just keep getting better and better every year.  This living room is perfection in my book.  The moment I laid eyes on it, I immediately thought of the idea of keeping the wall over the mantle bare in order to project a television image onto it from the ceiling.  When I asked my audio/videophile husband about the idea I could instantly see the wheels turning and head noddling, that it was a profoundly good idea.  So into the dream house file you go, living room pic. 

Enjoy, Heidi

Bold Black and Beautiful

Isn't if funny that when you are contemplating something that you see it everywhere?  I have this fabulous butler's pantry that is painted white and I have been thinking of painting it black with the idea that it will knock the socks off of anyone who sees it.  Right now it kinda blends in with the background.  Any who, ever since I came up with the idea, I see black bookcases, armours, cupboards and you name it everywhere.  Here is a small sample of what I'm talking about.  Enjoy, Heidi

Ralph just does it for me.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, He did it again. That Ralph, I tell you, he is the best in my book for creating decorating porn. Everything is so sexy, even this Summer House. Check out the Ralph Lauren Home site, because there is lots more. Enjoy, Heidi

Bohemian like Me and Drew.

I realized that I had a collection of crazy/wild upholstery jobs in my image file. So before it gets any larger I thought that I would share the fun and move them on over to the Blog file.

Enjoy, Heidi
