Pinktastic Tea Party with Mimosa Lane

Albertina, of Mimosa Lane, is my guest today.  If she weren't such a lovely person, I'd have to be a bit jealous of all her her talent.  She's got an amazing eye for design.  Both interior design and fashion.  She also paints and takes photographs.  And, she has a business background and runs a foundation that raises money for brain research.  Impressive, no?  I've loved getting to know Albertina through blogging and am looking forward to meeting her soon.  Enjoy Albertina's pinktastic! 

Hi Pink Pagoda Readers, I'm Albertina from Mimosa Lane.  I'm truly honored to be guest posting here today for Jennifer's 31 Days of Pink series. I love the Pink Pagoda.  Can I tell you I have a few of her prints (see here) and have been a big fan of Jennifer's and her wonderful energy and exquisite taste for quite some time.  We both live in Dallas and am just dying to meet her.  

Anyway, unless you have been living under a rock you know that our collective prayers have been answered and Zara home has opened its US online store. I could not be more thrilled.  Well thrilled and sad at the same time if I can be honest.  Thrilled because they have really beautiful things for the home but sad because it was my secret weapon.   Well, you see my husband is from Spain so we go quite often. I would hoard their table cloths and napkins and even buy the cutest baby presents. Everyone here would be all lustful over such beauties.  But no more!  We are equals now. I scoured the site looking for cute pink treasures for your home and this little collage was created- a Pinktastic Tea Party.  If you haven't already check their site out.  You will not be disappointed! (I mean glasses with gold?!)  Crate and Barrel will have to step up for sure.

Thanks Jennifer for having me!  Have a Pinkastic rest of October. xx, Albertina

I look forward to visiting Albertina every day at Mimosa Lane.  Doesn't her amazing personality and incredible sense of style just shine through so obviously? Thank you so much for being my guest today, Albertina!

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

Image
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
