Vignettes...

A few vignettes from rooms around my stone cottage...

Dining Room

Recently built in shelves with some of my treasures on display.

Formal Living Room

Some books on a sofa table with antlers my hubby found while camping out.

Family Room

Shells in a bowl found on a vacation

with a magnifying glass and a spoon that says dream.

(reminding me to dream of my next vaca!)

Side table cart with treasures and memories.

Happy Monday!

restoration hardware heart attack...

Have you seen the new Restoration Hardware catalog?

I got mine earlier this week, and put it in my pile of

"to get to later"

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw their wares!

I want absolutely everything in every single picture,

and can afford absolutely nothing!

How did they know the inner desires of my little design heart?

So jealous

(but happy for of course)

of all the designer hearts

that will get to live with all these lovelies!

I mean just look at this floor lamp!

Just look at these french pillows!

Just look at this hand tied rug!

But the pièce de résistance:

This is a chest made to look like an old steamer!

...an all cigar leather version!

Surely there is some way to convince hubby that we not only NEED this desk,

but that it is a good deal at over $3000!

Surely!

And oh, my goodness,

are there really ANY words for how spectacular this chair is?

NO! NOT ONE!

You all know how much I LOVE me some farmhouse style.

Well, they have a whole line titled "farmhouse"

AAAHHHH!!!!

I can run, but I can not hide!

They have found me.

Darn you budget!

Darn you restoration Hardware!

Flea Market Style

I have not been to blogville for a while because

I have been on vacation with my hubby and girls.

I will be blogging about that soon,

but I had to blog about this first.

While we were in Hot Springs, NC

enjoying no cell phone service or Internet and each other,

I picked up a few magazines to kick back with.

One of those was the new Flea Market style.

And I am irrevocably addicted!

I am sure most of you savvy shoppers have already purchased this edition,

but if any of you have not....CHECK OUT THIS JEWEL!

My heart was palpitating at all the ideas and inspiration!

You should see my new "To Do" and "To Get" lists

Still kicking myself about not purchasing this magazine the second it hit the shelves!

And for anyone who is questioning the $10 price tag as I did....

trust me, soooo worth it!

Unfortunately for hubby, I think I have decided on a couple of new collections to hunt for.

Not replacing any old collections, mind you...

So, read on sister salvage sleuths, read on!

Pantry Pleasure,,,

Pantry Pleasure...

I got inspired by a little lady at

http://mysweetsavannah.blogspot.com/

check out my new and improved kitchen cabinets and island.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

I am such a sucker for pretty.

Happy Palm Sunday!

Napa Style...

Nappa Style...

I adore this catalog and on-line shoppe.

Thought I would share it with you.

How yummy is this french wine crate used as a side table.

This is so "office", but for the kitchen.

I love anything that is used in a different way then it was intended.

I use one of these old bathtub feet as a paper weight in my office

So much texture.

Heck of a coffee table,

comments on this piece would be endless.

These pendant lights just leave me speechless.

I think I have to have these just so

that I can host a cookies and milk party for the girls.

I would use these stools inside and out.

This is a spoon chandelier.

How fun is this?

Love anything with a religious icon,

and the fact that they are candles

just make them even more desirable to me.

I want this by every sink in my house!

This tray makes me long for muddy boots to slide off and stick inside.

Always love a demijohn

These inspire me to go to a yard sale or flea market

and buy every old drawer I can get my hands on.

Adore these plant markers.

It truly is all about the details.

So creative.

This site just really gets my mind reeling

with ideas to go out and be creative on my own,

and a good source when you just want it already!
