Inside and Out

I love the exuberance of this multi-colored chandelier. And using it as an outdoor fixture is brilliant. If this were my patio, I would spend the whole summer out there. The chandelier can be found at Urban Outfitters (thanks Marie!).

I do it. My mother does it. My grandmother did it.
Always have a little red in the kitchen.

How We Live

A little inspiration for living as you are, where you are, and with what you have...

"When friends enter a home, they sense its personality and character, the family's style of living - these elements make a house come alive with a sense of identity, a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and warmth, declaring, "This is who we are; this is how we live."
- Ralph Lauren

Ibis Wallpaper

My husband and I have a thing for cranes and egrets. They always seem to appear during key moments in our life. I ran across this lovely wallpaper by Turner Pocock and can't stop thinking about it. Like it? You can get it here.
