Merry Christmas ! I thought I would share a few Christmas photos of Tate. He will soon be 3 years old. . . I think it is time for another one. <br />

Speaking of another one, I got a case of MPS (Multiple Poodle Syndrome) Yes, I rescued another Standard Poodle. Her name is Stella and she is a wild child. My hairdresser thinks I should be writing Children's books. " The misadventures of Stella the Big White Poodle." <br />

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<br />

Terrariums are so easy to make and easy to care for.

Then you just layer, starting with an inch of gravel, 1/2 inch of garden charcoal, few inches of potting soil, plants ( be sure they need the same amount of water and sunlight), accessories and water! Could not be any easier! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I am really enjoying the one I made for my family room.

The lack of color, things that look old and used, yet so beautifully put together.

It's knowing when to say , "stop". A room not afraid to have a bit less, knowing all the while, it will always be more. . .

The books were old and worn, the colors were perfect. They were works of art, and they were awesome . I looked at my own bookcase in my family room and thought about creating a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">similar</span> look for myself. But what does one do with their "real " books? I love my books and look at them often. I know the books in this photo were very much planned and placed . . . this did not just happen.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630334849791431794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h5M2FFNNlME/TiL3txBSFHI/AAAAAAAACZw/BTNDmsQS1BI/s400/002.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />I love the look of the old worn leather books and I do use them . I placed two in my foyer to add a bit of height to my plate holder. But would I enjoy a whole bookcase of non-functional books . . . I wonder.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630334842030649762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q0LV_VsolMQ/TiL3tUG98aI/AAAAAAAACZo/NKQMEV0BK9c/s400/029.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />I put two antique books in my guest room. I think they add lots of soul to the space. But no one is going to look at them, not inside anyway.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630334839276199026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hmC36kOq3oM/TiL3tJ2QXHI/AAAAAAAACZg/DiaGSl7y1JY/s400/018.jpg" border="0" /><br />Notice that I brought the color black from the old box down to the middle shelf with the two black books. But in the lowest shelf are books that I read and look at over and over, getting ideals for clients ect. So I am not sure I would want to make art out of my bookcase regradless of how lovely it looked.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630334834816359314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yzr-z4Cjh9w/TiL3s5O8m5I/AAAAAAAACZY/y649SOVB8cg/s400/001%2B%25282%2529.JPG" border="0" /><br />When using books to add height and interest, I do think about color and size and most of the time I remove the covers as well. What are your thoughts on the old antique books? Would you enjoy a bookcase turned to art? Great to look at , but non-functional . . . I would love to know.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Room Service ~ Decorating 101http://www.blogger.com/profile/00391177317831699246noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-43944049728280638612011-07-10T06:21:00.000-07:002011-07-10T18:54:20.049-07:00Lunch for the Family<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CKg7uJj61H4/ThmoGJAgAUI/AAAAAAAACZQ/65RRtsYtCRs/s1600/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627714032826843458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CKg7uJj61H4/ThmoGJAgAUI/AAAAAAAACZQ/65RRtsYtCRs/s400/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0iL84bnZHWE/ThmoFUW02kI/AAAAAAAACZI/9Ksl3g982uM/s1600/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627714018693405250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0iL84bnZHWE/ThmoFUW02kI/AAAAAAAACZI/9Ksl3g982uM/s400/003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-80BGEXn5QCo/ThmoES0vhtI/AAAAAAAACZA/jLBbGbpOKb4/s1600/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627714001102145234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-80BGEXn5QCo/ThmoES0vhtI/AAAAAAAACZA/jLBbGbpOKb4/s400/005.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Don't forget to enjoy your life with your loves ones . . . it just may be the only one you will ever have.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Room Service ~ Decorating 101http://www.blogger.com/profile/00391177317831699246noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-91565807966841640342011-07-06T10:03:00.000-07:002011-07-06T10:16:41.983-07:00My Antique French Chair<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj4UUB-Zvfo/ThSVwaXqRvI/AAAAAAAACY4/rcTmos6i6l4/s1600/231176_1714502230934_1489546785_31393428_4372199_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626286493437413106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj4UUB-Zvfo/ThSVwaXqRvI/AAAAAAAACY4/rcTmos6i6l4/s400/231176_1714502230934_1489546785_31393428_4372199_n.jpg" border="0" /></a> Remember this beautiful photo of my niece in my old chair. I just knew this would be a great photo and was so glad I had the groom's men take it outside and place it in the pasture field. After the wedding I took out my newly purchased "natural linen " to take it to the upholstery . . . but somehow it just did not feel like the right thing to do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lxx2YnXiUCs/ThSVwDvYlHI/AAAAAAAACYw/0QhskAtHEIQ/s1600/002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626286487362901106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lxx2YnXiUCs/ThSVwDvYlHI/AAAAAAAACYw/0QhskAtHEIQ/s400/002.jpg" border="0" /></a> So I went on the hunt for a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">different</span> fabric, one as close to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">original</span> as I could find. This is what I came up with, not silk, but the same color and feel as the old fabric. Everyone except Vanna that I talked to about covering my chair thought natural linen was the way to go and maybe it would have been. But somehow I always swim upstream if the rest are going down . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NEEhQhKj7ZM/ThSVvDJu8TI/AAAAAAAACYo/97dk0f07m5E/s1600/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626286470025113906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NEEhQhKj7ZM/ThSVvDJu8TI/AAAAAAAACYo/97dk0f07m5E/s400/009.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the BEFORE , it was so dirty and worn. I could have learned to love the worn, but not the dirty. So what do you think? I really love it all fresh and clean without looking like a completely <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">different</span> chair.

My last post showed a large sofa at the end of a bed, it became the focal of the space rather than the bed it's self. Some commented that they liked the sofa, just not at the end of the bed. That got me thinking . . . I thought about using a chest at the end of my own bed for a time, but I did not. How do you like a chest at the end?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cyws1FFXrSU/TfyPT6An0sI/AAAAAAAACXI/fbtlDeMJxY0/s1600/dmd-home-5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619524007203689154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cyws1FFXrSU/TfyPT6An0sI/AAAAAAAACXI/fbtlDeMJxY0/s400/dmd-home-5.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a show room, but I have seen stools at the end of beds . . . is this more to your liking?<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a2ejID68rWg/TfyPTmg90mI/AAAAAAAACXA/yoODoB87UvQ/s1600/bedroom_relaxing_bench_foot_of_bed_tan_cream_seaglass_blue_karina_garrick_style_consultant_desire_to_inspire_mar09.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619524001970639458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a2ejID68rWg/TfyPTmg90mI/AAAAAAAACXA/yoODoB87UvQ/s400/bedroom_relaxing_bench_foot_of_bed_tan_cream_seaglass_blue_karina_garrick_style_consultant_desire_to_inspire_mar09.png" border="0" /></a> I tried to buy one of these for my guest room, but it was already SOLD . . . now I am glad I did not get it.

The weather could not have been any prettier, a frog sang the whole entire time and everyone loved it. Only about 40 of the couples closest friends and family attended , so it was extra special.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HTLlU_dotTk/Tdjx8FEhTnI/AAAAAAAACUM/1XLJd3Avsc8/s1600/108.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609499350345535090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HTLlU_dotTk/Tdjx8FEhTnI/AAAAAAAACUM/1XLJd3Avsc8/s400/108.JPG" border="0" /></a> I did all the tables with a vintage look, the flowers were in mason jars, with jute string. The groom wrote the bride little love notes that were added to each one. Oh how she loved visiting each table and reading her notes . . . she cried.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_AoNicHcaSY/Tdjx7XubstI/AAAAAAAACUE/wNuPlkIKPIY/s1600/024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609499338173297362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_AoNicHcaSY/Tdjx7XubstI/AAAAAAAACUE/wNuPlkIKPIY/s400/024.JPG" border="0" /></a> The bride's sister and cousins stood with her and the groom , all his best buds. The boys had a blast . . . they found our tucked away bar and had a private party a bit early. I will not say anymore about that . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDBnn246eQY/Tdjx6-F_tZI/AAAAAAAACT8/mDaBzJ5yU8k/s1600/100.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609499331292804498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zDBnn246eQY/Tdjx6-F_tZI/AAAAAAAACT8/mDaBzJ5yU8k/s400/100.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The cake table, we had 3 cakes each more special than the last, so beautiful, but when they were brought out I had no time for photos. We had them on the wooden boxes at different levels, a chocolate with curls, strawberry with white chocolate dipped berries and a coconut with the cake topper. We have a cake artist in this town . . . I regret not taking time for a photo. You would have loved it. Maybe I will get to share the "real" pictures soon .<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609499320417621842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bb_UY4n-tPE/Tdjx6VlJl1I/AAAAAAAACT0/6qjSNscsQBg/s400/065.JPG" border="0" /> Congrads to Mandy and Josh !

Your home is not a "Look", it's a feeling in your soul . . . Keep it personal. The things you love deserve to have a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">place</span> of honor, used and seen. Every home tells a story about the people that live there.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Lx6d7_IzTA/Tcp_za66L3I/AAAAAAAACTk/ssLOAxLl2bI/s1600/028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605433207592464242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Lx6d7_IzTA/Tcp_za66L3I/AAAAAAAACTk/ssLOAxLl2bI/s400/028.JPG" border="0" /></a>I love to honor the past .
