Blue and White Monday || Desk Accessory or Vase || Instagram #blueandwhite


A couple of weeks ago I shared this new vase with you and mentioned that I couldn't decide whether to use it for flowers or pencils.  How silly of me when it obviously can be both.  I have two now : )  





I see so many gorgeous, inspirational images on Instagram constantly.  I'm happy to share these that are quite appropriate for Blue and White Monday. I've left the user names on each image so that you can have some new and fantastic people to follow.


















Isn't this laundry room fantastic?  It, and this one, kind of makes me interested in redoing mine!

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. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

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
