Fabric for Friday

Dara by Manuel Canovas is part of the new collection. I saw it today in Atlanta at Travis and Company, the very best showroom in ADAC and my old stomping grounds. It is bright and beautiful!  I adore all the characters, color and pattern within this pattern.  It is a visual feast. It reminds me of my dining room table in my Pixie Spring Cottage. My table is inlayed rosewood with really ornate Indian figures, horses, camels, elephants.  The colors are very vibrant…the pictures do not do it justice.  Have a fabulous...

Terrific Turquoise

Turquoise is a universally flattering color says my mother… Remember the days of "Color me Beautiful", a color book from the 80's that told you what colors to wear?  I agree turquoise looks good in most rooms too.  A few of my favorite turquoise rooms…What are yours? I am loving the spring weather and feeling ready to wear all my bright turquoise and orange…   Veronica Beard's NYC apartment Albert Hadley Parish Hadley Kelly Wearstler for the Viceroy Kendall Wilkenson Bunny Williams Victoria Hagan Miles Redd via Pinterest Katie Ridder Katie...

Weekend Update

We had a great weekend.  It was our first weekend at home in a month.  Baseball and soccer seasons have started that keeps us close to home. Highlights include a few favorites… Saturday am treat after a long power walk…The Flying Biscuit Cafe is great for breakfast.  Their grits are a standout.  Honestly, the best I have ever had and as a GRIT(girl raised in the south) I have had a LOT of grits. You need the cookbook if you do not live near one… I made a quick stop by an art show at a friend's house.  I left with another painting I did not need but, LOVE. Now I need to rearrange my playroom to make a wall....

Mad Men Mystique…Season 5 Premier

I am beyond excited for the 2hour premier of Mad Men Season 5 tonight on AMC.  It has been a long 18 month wait.  I am sure it will be worth it.  This show has captivated us with the perfect set design by Amy Wells, sexy characters and dark plot.  It is perfectly cast. January Jones and Jon Hamm are beautiful creatures to watch.   Elle Decor did an article on the seductive set twice.  The set is certainly a starring character in itself.
