Blue and White Monday + Christmas Puppies

Carolyn Roehm

I can't get enough of pink and red flowers in a blue and white container.  Both of Carolyn Roehm's books, Flowers and A Passion for Flowers, are on my Christmas wishlist.  

This, and the following seven photos, are from a gorgeous Meg Braff house in Bermuda decorated for Christmas.










This is a digital pic of a Christmas and Holiday card I sell in my store.

Do you remember my customer who had the beautiful house that I featured a few weeks ago?  We all thought her house looked like it might be located in Virginia.  To see it go here.  She asked me to create some cards for her with blue jars instead of green.  I thought it was a great idea.  I'll offer them next Christmas as an option.  She was so lovely to frame one of them and send me this photo.  I'm so fortunate to have the lovely, thoughtful, generous customers that I do!


We already have this little cutie pie, but Pinterest is oh-so-powerful!  I've seen the following photos lately and am wanting a Christmas puppy!  Aren't they adorable?!!





I'm taking time to be with my family until after the 1st.  If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a Merry, Merry holiday.  Thank you so very much for visiting me here.  I appreciate you all greatly!

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. The granny-chic style...

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...
