The Pink Pagoda

Kathleen is one of my sweetest, friendliest, most encouraging customers.  She's also an amazing interior designer based in California.  She's purchased prints and stationery.  I've gotten to know her through Etsy, blogging, (she has an incredible blog called Pacific Family Homes ) and through Pinterest.  She sent me a customer photo a week or so ago, and I asked her to send me any other photos she had on hand and convenient.  I told her I wanted to use the customer photo in a feature of her work.  What she did was send these fantastic photos of her house and provide a narrative.  I am so grateful, and excited to share her gorgeous, colorful Chinoiserie filled house!  Enjoy! This is my living room. I have a vintage bamboo lamps on the right and left. The one on the left was in my living room as a child:-) The other is an Etsy purchase- vintage 60s made in Italy.

How exciting to have the lovely Beth and Kristy, from Design Chic , here!  Everything on their blog is divine, as is the gorgeousness they are sharing today. We were so thrilled when Jennifer asked us to be a part of her series "Blue and White Monday." This timeless color combination is one of our favorites -- just like The Pink Pagoda! We absolutely adore Jennifer's beautiful blog, flawless taste and eye for design. Thank you so much for having us, Jennifer! Blue and white. It isn't only for porcelain. We adore the classic color combination anywhere, but especially by the sea. Burcu Avsar Photography A pop of blue in a neutral palette adds life and depth.

  I found out about interior designer Hannah Childs when she recently purchased prints from my store.  One look at her portfolio and I knew I'd be sharing her work with you.  She's based in Old Lyme, Connecticut, and you can see more and read about her here . So, what do you think?  Do you have a favorite?  I think it's hard to choose, but I'm pretty crazy about the kitchen breakfast room.

The three photos above are Jenn Feldman Designs . The three above show the work of Lee Ann Thornton . Kelley Proxmire designed the three rooms above. The two above are rooms designed by Ann Wolf . 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...
