I hope you had a restful weekend.  School is starting for my daughter this week, so things are very busy here.  I think school starts later elsewhere, which would be delightful.  We so enjoy the lack of structure in summer.  School and extra-curricular get quite hectic these days.  It's much more so than when I was growing up.

Last Monday I shared that I'd love to get to go back in time and select my china with what I know now.  I featured different beautiful china patterns, and you voted for your favorite.  The results are below.



Mottahedeh, Blue Dragon

Mottahedeh, Blue Canton

Royal Crown Derby, Blue Aves

These three tied for first.  You all have lovely taste!  I was excited to see that the Royal Crown Derby was chosen.  It's one of my patterns.  The Blue Canton is what I want to start collecting, although I also adore the Blue Dragon.  I enjoyed hearing from you about this.  It sounds like I'm not alone in rethinking those important choices!

Happy Monday!

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   . I'm thinking about art studios at the moment because my daughter (an artist) and I will be moving to a new house in the next few months, and will use one of the bedrooms as an office/studio.

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Thank you for coming to see my completed entrance hall. I redesigned our very tired and lifeless entry for The One Room Challenge. You can catch up and see "before" shots  here .  It's been so much fun working with this space, and I'm thrilled with the results.  How exciting to get to share it with you today! Above and below is the view from the front door. These are the beyond breathtaking panels that Christina Baker painted for the entry.  I'm not sure if from the photos you can get a true understanding of the impact these panels create.  In person they're even more beautiful, and I'm wanting to spend lots of time on the settee enjoying the view. Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. Besides these to-die-for paintings I get to enjoy everyday, it was fantastic getting to know and work with her. Her work is available at Gregg Irby Fine Art , and also can be seen on her site . And, here is the spectacular lant

This spectacular vignette is from the house I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.  I'd been devouring my latest Luxe issue, and noticed a mirror just like mine in a  feature on a gorgeous Dallas house.  You can see more of the feature, and read about it here .  Photography:  Nathan Schroder Interior Design:  Homeowner with a bit of help from The Design Girls (Susan Palma and Muffin Lemak) Landscape Architecture:  Laura Tyson
