Lipstick Love I'm so excited to share some of artist Christina Baker's paintings with you today.  My friend, Kerry Steele , introduced me to Christina's work knowing I'd love it.  I think that every single one of these is beautiful beyond words, and at some point, I'm going to own a Christina Baker painting.  Little Guitars Lavender Lullabies Cake Batter Fireflies Retail Therapy My Favorite Raindrops Midnight Me Christina is represented by Gregg Irby Fine Art , and you can see more of her amazing work here .

Frances Schultz The photo above is from the former townhouse of Frances Schultz. She worked on it with the designer John Oetgen around 20 years ago.  When I visited her blog recently and saw the photos of her townhouse that were featured in Veranda, I recognized them immediately.  I loved that feature and kept that issue.  I remember being so fascinated by this photo and also the one of her bedroom.

Blue and White Monday Budget Friendly Fabric from The Glam Pad

Spoonflower fabric for my ORC laundry room Last Monday I had Tiffany Jones here sharing absolutely beautiful blue and white fabric.  She shared Brunschwig and Fils, Quadrille, and Jim Thompson among others.  While they're all to die for, they may be beyond the budget for many.  Today I have Andrea, from The Glam Pad , sharing beautiful blue and white fabrics that are budget friendly.   TPP's Blue & White Monday series always gets my week off to a great start, and I'm delighted to be guest posting here today! For months I have been on the hunt for the perfect budget-friendly blue and white fabric for our family room, and now the only problem is which one to choose! Here are a few of my favorites that are rich with charm, but won't break the bank. Yosca Blue - $31.50 per yard Yosca Blue is a top contender. It is truly gorgeous fabric, and with a 55% linen blend, it looks and feels very expensive! There is so much detail in this Chinoiserie patte

Blue & White Monday with Tiffany Jones

Image
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I shared  Tiffany Jones Interiors  with you?  You all loved her work, and oh my goodness it was pinned and pinned and pinned.  And, I wasn't a bit surprised. Tiffany is an amazingly talented designer in Dallas, and I'm very excited about her new blog . You'll be happy to see that I've got her here today as my guest.   Hello TPP Fans!  I am so excited to be guest posting today on Blue & White Monday and bringing you my current favorite Blue and White fabrics.  I hope you will enjoy the collection. I always think adding a little "animal" to a room is a great way to update and add a "wow" factor.  My current favorite is Les Touches by Brunschwig & Fils .  It looks like a modern leopard print and I think it is fabulous! Brunschwig & Fils....Le Touches in Blue The sophistication of Jim Thompson is amazing.  His fabric designs are like no other. I find them so modern and updated.
