Mary McDonald's Malachite || Get The Look


When I saw Mary McDonald wearing her stunning malachite jewelry on Bravo, I fell hard.  Along with a jillion others.  As a result, for a while, I've been wanting a malachite necklace that I can wear with various black pieces.  I like to be comfy in black pants and a black turtleneck, and just add a fun necklace.  I think malachite or green jewelry is so festive and pretty for holiday events, don't you?  I went to a place here in Dallas called Beading Dreams, and designed the necklace above.  They put it together for me, and I've already been wearing it. So, thank you, Mary!

I'm loving my new necklace and thought I'd share some gorgeous green jewelry with you.  Elizabeth Showers is a Dallas jewelry designer, and I adore every single thing she creates.  And just in case my husband happens upon this post (not likely) a piece from Elizabeth Showers would always be a successful gift : )




And Margaret Elizabeth is another favorite.  She has lots of gorgeous green options that are priced very reasonably.  





Well, tell me what you think.  Are you drawn to green jewelry?  Is there anything here you particularly like?  Or, should I ask if there's anything here that you don't like?

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.

Gwyneth Paltrow's house via decorpad While interior design is a primary focus at TPP, I also love being charmed by a home's exterior.  Ever since I can remember, I've fixated on facades scrutinizing and analyzing them as I peer out a car window, go for a walk, or look at home magazines.  I'm noticing more and more front doors painted blue, and it's a trend I like a lot. Veranda House Interiors   Southern Living  via Martha Stewart  via Marcus Design Blog The houses above and below are here in Dallas, and I snapped these photos with my phone.  I love them both, and I'm keeping an eye out for more : ).

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
