<span style="font-size: large;">These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to <a href="http://www.bennettgalleriesnashville.com/ChristinaBaker.htm" target="_blank">Bennet Galleries</a>. 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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">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. The granny-chic style studio above, designed by Schuyler Samperton for a <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/house-tours/g2087/colorful-los-angeles-cottage/" target="_blank">darling Los Angeles cottage</a>, is adorable. I'd like it even without the dog : ).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't seen a photo of a room in quite awhile that has captured my attention like the one above. The straight lines and right angles the chairs and the upholstery create, along with the unframed, amazing Mallory Page painting, are the perfect foil to the tone on tone pattern of David Hicks', The Vase, wallpaper. The amount of color the Rose Famille infuses is perfect. This exquisitely designed room is the work of <a href="http://collins-interiors.com/" target="_blank">Cynthia Collins</a>, one of my favorite interior designers. What's more, she's a fellow Dallasite. I know you'll enjoy the gorgeous images of her work I'm sharing below. Check out her <a href="http://collins-interiors.com/" target="_blank">site</a> for lots more.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Artist Ann Jackson, whom I featured <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2015/09/q-with-dallas-artist-ann-jackson.html" target="_blank">here</a> last September, recently participated in <a href="http://callingithome.squarespace.com/#home-1" target="_blank">Calling It Home's </a>Spring 2016 <a href="http://callingithome.squarespace.com/blog/2016/5/m1nln13vvumf9i8mx1qk71ft33qxr7" target="_blank">One Room Challenge</a>. Using her new line of wallpaper, Ann made over her dining room. It's quite striking, and D Magazine featured the project <a href="http://www.dmagazine.com/home-design/slideshows/2016/may/dallas-artist-ann-jackson-one-room-makeover-reveal?img=Ann-Jackson1307.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The weather here in Dallas has been amazing as of late. Today began looking less promising with lots of clouds and drizzle, but it's cleared up, and I hear birds chirping. How I wish I could enjoy this lovely time of year on a fantastic porch like the one above. Soon, the Texas heat will be too much for me, and enjoying the outdoors and the AC simultaneously will be preferable. The glassed-in porch below would be perfect for me in July and August.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The mantel is always the focal point of any room with a fireplace. I've always loved changing mine up a bit from time to time, so I was thrilled to participate in Project Design: How to Style Your Mantle For Spring Two Ways. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is our family room. It's where we spend most of our time, and we've enjoyed this gorgeous painting by <a href="http://www.geschardtart.com/">Reagan Geschardt</a> so much. I appreciate many design styles, but for my own house, I tend to keep things simple and symmetrical. This painting is fantastic on its own and doesn't need embellishment, so I just added two bamboo shaped large vases with hydrangea and greenery from the grocery store. With the beautiful colors Reagan used in the painting, I didn't have to do much to create a mantel perfect for spring.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since I needed to show two ways to style a mantel, my daughter painted this maidenhair fern for me, and I love the loose way she used watercolor to create the leaves. I wanted to do something unsymmetrical, and was excited to have the opportunity to use my new emperors set. Every year toward the middle of February, I start to long for green. With the arrival of spring, all of the green is such a welcome sight. I asked my daughter to do something with lots and lots of this refreshing color, and she couldn't have chosen to paint anything I'd like more. The ferns in the fireplace are in <a href="http://bit.ly/1nCTrmr">this wicker storage trunk from Target</a>. I purchased it a few years ago and took the top and the bottom off. After placing a plastic bin inside, it's perfect for displaying plants inside the fireplace during the warmer months.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Coincidentally, One Kings Lane just began a sale called <a href="http://bit.ly/1YGwGvw">Mantel Makeover</a>. If you're needing items for your mantel, it's a great place to start your search.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A big, huge thank you to Project Design for allowing me to participate. This was lots of fun! Don't miss seeing all of the spring mantel inspiration created by the talented group below!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you as ready for summer as I? We're having bizarrely warm weather here in Dallas, but it's chilly in the evenings. I'm ready for full time warmth. I happened upon this Bahamas residence at <a href="http://dustjacket-attic.com/2015/04/interiors-bahamas-villa.html/">Dust Jacket</a>, and wanted to be transported there immediately. The construction is by S.M.G., and these images and more can be seen on <a href="http://www.smgconstruction.com/old-fort-residences/ocean-front-old-fort/h15/">their site</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last weekend, I picked up these gorgeous purple tulips at <a href="http://www.cebollafineflowers.com/">Cebolla Fine Flowers</a>, here in Dallas on Lovers Lane. They had a fantastic tulip special with an incredible selection of amazing colors. The tulips were so pretty in my blue and white tea tin, I couldn't resist snapping photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This to-die-for table is from one of my favorite ever books, <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/collections/gifts/products/sophistication-is-overrated">Sophistication is Overrated</a>, by Susan Palma and Babs Horner. The purple hydrangea with blue and white linens and Herend dinnerware is breathtaking.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While decidedly not a purple fan, I've been intrigued by these two rooms for years. With the addition of blue and white, the purple doesn't bother me a bit. In fact, I really like it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Seeing gorgeous tablescapes is always such a treat for me. The possibilities are endless. I love well styled tables in all colors, and tables dressed just in white. Blue and white is always my favorite, though. This last photo is from my house. Scattering small melon jars in different patterns on the table and adding greenery or pretty blooms is an easy way to beautifully style your table. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you don't have the January/February 2016 issue of Veranda, you may want to go pick one up. There's lots to enjoy. <a href="http://www.veranda.com/decorating-ideas/g1488/palm-beach-villa-tour/">This Palm Beach house</a> is featured, and it's absolutely lovely. I love the pretty, subtle palette. The mix of mostly understated with a few formal, glamorous pieces placed here and there works beautifully.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just in case anyone doing any last minute shopping for me happens to be reading TPP today, I'd like to not so subtly mention that Carolyne Roehm's newest book, <a href="http://bit.ly/1Jsmn5A"><i>At Home in the Garden</i></a>, is at the top of my wish list. I have <a href="http://bit.ly/1MuhyJ5"><i>A Passion For Blue and White</i></a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1Jsmyho"><i>Flowers</i></a>, and <a href="http://bit.ly/1JsmIp4"><i>A Passion For Flowers</i></a> and pick each up constantly. Every image is breathtaking and inspiring no matter how many times I've seen it before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The four images below are from <a href="http://bit.ly/1Jsmn5A"><i>At Home in the Garden</i></a> in which Carolyne takes readers on a visually spectacular tour of her historic Connecticut residence's gardens.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next two are botanicals from the new book that she painted herself. Are you wondering like I am how it's fair for one person to be so talented? Carolyne has also taken up photography and took all 400 plus photos <a href="http://bit.ly/1Jsmn5A"><i>At Home in the Garden</i></a> contains. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://agirlnamedpj.com/portfolio/">PJ Feinstein</a> wrote a fantastic feature recently for <a href="http://www.bhg.com/decorating/small-spaces/style/tiny-rooms-with-big-personality-281474979462906/">Better Homes and Gardens</a> sharing creative, insightful ways to add personality to small spaces. I was flattered she included the room above, which was a <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2014/05/spring-2014-one-room-challenge-finale.html">One Room Challenge project</a> of mine a couple of years ago. PJ shares fifteen rooms which all provide examples for her helpful design suggestions. See the feature <a href="http://www.bhg.com/decorating/small-spaces/style/tiny-rooms-with-big-personality-281474979462906/">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This space is adjacent to my daughter's bedroom, and she uses it as a "hangout" room. She was thrilled with the results of <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2014/05/spring-2014-one-room-challenge-finale.html">this ORC project</a>. Truth be told, I love hanging out here, too. It's a happy space, and color plays a big role in achieving the tone. To get the look, check out <a href="http://bit.ly/1QxsH3r">this rug</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1Qxt2Df">this basket</a>, and <a href="http://bit.ly/1Oc5FZt">this blanket</a>. The adorable pink pillows aren't available right now, but <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/collections/pillows">these</a> are incredible and achieve a similar look. The planter is Mottahedeh and rather pricey. I already had it in our family room, and added it to the table for photos. In a room where kids spend much time, I'd use one like <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/collections/planters/products/blue-and-white-fish-orchid-planter">this</a>, <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/collections/planters/products/blue-and-white-chinese-dragon-planter">this</a> or <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/products/blue-and-white-fish-motif-orchid-bowl?lssrc=recentviews">this</a> that's priced more reasonably and wouldn't be a huge problem if it were damaged or broken.</span></div>

This lovely vignette from <a href="http://athomearkansas.com/article/blue-christmas/">At Home Arkansas</a>, is one of my all time favorites. Symmetry, plus blue and white, gets me every time. I love the pairs of jars on the sideboard and how the two heights work so beautifully together. The taller of the two is below.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's fantastic, isn't it? The repeated character is for longevity. <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/products/blue-and-white-chinese-longevity-ginger-jar">This ginger jar</a> is offered at TPP, and is 15% off right now. I've extended my holiday sale through the week, and everything is available at a 15% discount. </div>

Red cyclamen is my favorite for Christmas. I love amaryllis, too. A couple of Christmases ago, I planted cyclamen in a pair of <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/products/blue-and-white-chinese-dragon-planter">these dragon vases</a>. I moved them around the house some, but my favorite place for them was flanking the mantel in my family room.<br />

It's good to be back on TPP. I've been MIA, as my daughter, a senior in high school, is going through the college application process. If you haven't done this, but expect to someday, prepare yourself. I'd almost classify the process as a full time job. Certainly, it's left little time for me to be here. I've missed it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've asked my daughter to create a gift guide. It will be very helpful for me, and if you have any girls this age on your holiday gift list, I hope it will help you, too.</div>

Hello, TPP readers. I'm glad my mother asked me to to do another girl gift guide post. I did <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2013/11/guest-post-teen-girl-gifts.html">one for her a couple of years ago</a>, and it was fun. Wow, my taste has changed since then! I hope this gives you some fun ideas. Have a very happy Holiday Season!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1) Minimal, pretty, and works with anything. I'd love to have <a href="http://bit.ly/1NxJeSw">this staple necklace</a>. Every girl I know would wear it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2) <a href="http://bit.ly/1HNguoD">This bracelet</a> is amazing, but it's not happening at my house TBH. Maybe, if I were a couple of years older and more careful with my accessories. But a girl can dream, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3) You can't have too many cute socks. I'm so into grays right now, and <a href="http://bit.ly/1Q7dFRN">these from Madewell</a> are perfect and reasonably priced. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4) I have to have this <a href="http://bit.ly/1Q7dTsb">eye color set from Urban Decay</a>. A few of my friends have it and the palette is gorgeous and looks great on everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5) <a href="http://bit.ly/1ILSPzz">The Beats Pill</a> is a bluetooth speaker that any girl who likes music would be thrilled to have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6) Amongst girls my age, <a href="http://bit.ly/1LV6N2c">a Longchamp bag</a> is the thing right now. Lots of girls have theirs in cute colors with a monogram. For me, I'd skip the monogram and choose a neutral option.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
7) Awwww, these little <a href="http://bit.ly/1Q7d0zK">elephant earrings</a> are the cutest!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
8) We all love a good pair of boots, and <a href="http://bit.ly/1NzK5xA">these</a> are my favorite right now. You can't go wrong with Frye. They're great quality, gorgeous, and so much more reasonably priced than so many other brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
9) I have <a href="http://bit.ly/1NxLNUH">this sweater</a> in ivory and gray, and highly recommend. I'd actually love one in every color available.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
10) Madewell is a favorite of girls my age. <a href="http://bit.ly/1OMQ6dL">Their jewelry</a> works so well for everything we're wearing. <a href="http://bit.ly/1Oa85bm">This necklace</a> could be thrown on with everything I wear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
11) <a href="http://bit.ly/1NzMoAU">This lense kit</a> would be so much fun! I'd love to be able to take better pics for Instagram and Snapchat with my phone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
12) Obviously, not for girls with a "more is more" attitude. For me, this <a href="http://bit.ly/1HNhGIw">nail polish set</a> is perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

13) Girls my age all need a <a href="http://bit.ly/1Oa8EBQ">key chain/ring/fob</a>. I'd love <a href="http://bit.ly/1Oa8EBQ">this one</a>. I think it's a great stocking stuffer (hint, hint).</div>

14) Possibly the most fun gift I've ever received. I got a <a href="http://bit.ly/1OFP4Ch">Glossybox subscription</a> for my birthday last year, and it's run out. Another one would be so exciting! (More on Glossybox below.)</div>

Back to <a href="http://bit.ly/1OFP4Ch">Glossybox</a>. This is possibly my most highly recommended gift idea. It's a subscription, so it's actually like 6 gifts (six month subscription) or 12 gifts (12 month subscription). I LOVED getting these boxes, and was so excited when a new one arrived. I took these pics of one I received awhile back. </div>

When Paige, from <a href="http://www.thepinkclutchblog.com/">The Pink Clutch</a>, asked me to provide the art to hang over her blue lacquered credenza for <a href="http://www.thepinkclutchblog.com/2015/11/one-room-challenge-kitchen-reveal.html">her recent One Room Challenge,</a> I was excited. She described her plan, and I immediately knew what I wanted to create for her. I've been fascinated by antique Chinese textiles for years. Particularly, imperial dragon robes. Using them as inspiration for a large giclee is a project I've been dying to start, but haven't had the time. Paige's fantastic plan motivated me to finally get busy. I've never attempted anything even close to this large or detailed, and it took months to complete. My daughter drew the dragon which is obviously the best part of the scene. Paige referred to "him," but my daughter tells me this dragon is female, and her name is Delphine. </div>

I knew when I heard that Paige would be in the next ORC that she'd do something fantastic. I'm thrilled and grateful that she provided me with the perfect incentive to complete this project I've been contemplating for so long. That she's used my prints in all of her ORC projects is so very supportive and flattering.</div>

I love that my new dragon print can work with varied styles and colors. With a heavier, more masculine frame it takes on a completely different look. It's now <a href="http://shop.thepinkpagoda.us/collections/walls/products/dragon-emperors-robe-in-blue">available at TPP</a>, and I'll be adding size options. It was created at 60 inches tall which would be quite a statement, wouldn't it? Paige's is 46.25 tall, and at that size, it's plenty commanding. <span style="text-align: center;">Go <a href="http://www.thepinkclutchblog.com/2015/11/one-room-challenge-kitchen-reveal.html">here</a> to see all of her gorgeous project!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been dying to show you Jane's new <a href="http://christinabaker.net/home.html">Christina Baker</a> painting. Just WOW. Really, no words can describe how gorgeous this is. Oh, and if you haven't seen one of Christina's paintings in person, photos don't capture the loveliness. She'd emailed us an image, but when we took it out of the box, Jane and I both gasped. It's that pretty. And, it's probably one of the only times I've ever known us to be short on words : ).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've shown you the stair runner already, and here is the new area rug. Both are from <a href="http://www.karastan.com/">Karastan</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for visiting Week Five of my One Room Challenge. The ORC is a collaborative blogging event created and trademarked by <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/">Calling It Home</a>. Twenty design bloggers are redesigning a room over the course of six weekly posts. I'm transforming the entrance hall for my friend, Jane. She wanted an updated, fresh look. Go <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2015/10/one-room-challenge-week-one.html">here</a> to catch up. Next Wednesday, everything will come together, and I'm very excited to see this space finished.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jane's wanted to add a runner to her stairs for years, and just hasn't gotten around to it. I so understand. That's the beauty of the ORC; things happen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Jane chose <a href="http://www.karastan.com/carpet-search/Cobble%20Ridge/?return=carpet-result.aspx%7C%7Cxx=1%7Ccasual=1">Karastan's Cobble Ridge</a> in Driftwood for her runner. Isn't this woven herringbone pattern fantastic? And, the color is such a perfect neutral. It doesn't have undertones that create problems, and it's light, but not too light to be practical. Jane wanted this runner to last, and stairs get lots of wear. The wool and acrylic blend of Cobble Ridge is the perfect option. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have to include a close up of these rods which provide the perfect finish to the stair runner. Jane and her family love the improvement the runner creates. Working with Karastan has been so easy, and I'm impressed by the quality of their carpet. We've been so pleased that we ordered the area rug from them, too. It should be at Jane's house by the end of the week, and we're excited to see it in place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my dear goodness, it's Week Four. I'm keeping it super short today, because I'm horrifyingly behind on ORC, and I have a high school senior with college apps due. Not great timing. Catch up on my project <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2015/10/one-room-challenge-week-three-entrance.html">here</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm dying to see the painting <a href="http://christinabaker.net/home.html">Christina Baker</a> is creating for Jane's entry. Above is a sneak peek. I can see that it's going to be breathtaking, and I cannot wait to see it hanging on the wall. It will be the focal point of the entrance, and <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2014/11/2014-fall-one-room-challenge-final-week.html">I know from experience </a>how much Jane will love getting to enjoy Christina's art everyday.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is something to which I'm very much looking forward. Jane removed everything form her secretary, and I get free reign styling. Can you guess what I'll use? : )</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a shot of Jane's fixture. It's lovely, but Jane's wanting something with more weight. <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2015/10/one-room-challenge-week-two.html">We had a lantern chosen</a>, but Jane decided against it. And, everything else we saw. She made the observation that there are four or five different styles, and many companies have their very similar version. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I forgot I had this lantern, but ran across it while looking for something else. I offered it to Jane, and she immediately saw the possibilities. It's being refurbished which is actually fairly expensive. Using my old lantern won't save any money, but she's excited to have something a bit more unique. I'm really looking forward to seeing this transformed. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Interestingly, Lisa Fine's had no professional training in interior design. I notice many of my favorite designers haven't either. To successfully integrate so many colors, patterns and textures, she's obviously a natural. And, if textile design and creating a <a href="https://irvingandfine.com/shop/">fashion label in collaboration with Carolina Irving</a> weren't enough, she's also been a contributing editor for House Beautiful and Elle Decor. </span><span style="font-size: large;">In reading about her, I discovered that she graduated from the same school here in Dallas that my daughter attends -- small world.</span></div>
