GREAT BONES!

The use of bones for everything from weapons to money,jewelry and even furniture has been around for centuries!  We have definitely see a resurgence of inlay bone objects and furniture in the last couple of years and the items seem to be getting more and more interesting!  I think its a cool touch to add one or two pieces to a space and I do love the pastel colored pieces for such rooms as bedrooms and bathrooms. As long as all of the animal is used as in the Native Indian times, then I have no problem with Bone being used in Decor! Here are some of my favorite inlay bone finds, enjoy!

Cool Inlay pyramids, great for bookshelves or fireplace!- Collectors Corner

Enjoying Many Shades of Blue With Kirsten Kelli Design!

I think I see the love of Purple and blue right here!!
Kirsten and Kelli
Its a rainy chilly Sunday here in the Northeast! I just finished painting two pieces for The Country Living Fair and needed a cup of tea desperately. What goes better with a cup of tea than a Veranda Magazine! I love this June Issue and was totally smitten with Kirsten Kelli design and the Hampton estate that was a glow with washes of blue and purple! Kirsten Ford and her Sister Kelli Fitzgibbons are a dynamic design duo out of Texas who summer in Southampton. I love there fun use of color and there brave choices of pattern and accessories, here are some of my favorites by this fabulous sister team!

Let The Sun Shine In!!

Finally a wonderful warm day in NJ! 80degrees and worked down the shore today, so I cannot complain. As I drove home from work I thought of how wonderful it would be to search for gorgeous sunrooms or conservatories.  I found some beautiful rooms that let  the sun in right on Pinterest! I hope you enjoy them and let them inspire you to find you little nook  in the sun!
