One Room Challenges and an Autumn Table

For my very first ORC I did this laundry room.  I was still quite happy about it until I went over to Chinoiserie Chic on Wednesday and learned of her ORC laundry room plans.  Oh. My. Goodness. Did you see that she's using blue and white Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper?  Yes, that's right.  With beautiful lighting, black and white floors and lots of blue and white porcelain. These inspiration boards have me green with envy very intrigued.

After seeing these boards are you imagining the most amazing laundry room ever?  I am.  And, I can't wait to watch the process and see the completed room.

Then, yesterday I headed over to see what was going on at Linda's One Room Challenge Linking Party.  Lots was, and the below caught my eye.  


The two images above are both from Mrs. V of Chez V.  I'm going to love this room.  Won't it be incredible?


When I clicked over to Chez V to read her ORC post, I saw this lovely feature, and you should go see it too.  I adore what she's put together here without using the expected traditional fall colors.  It's refreshing for me to see fall table decor in these unconventional colors.  You can see more of this lovely fall table here.


Happy Weekend!

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
