Gone Fishing...Metaphorically


Hi Friends! I'm in Israel exploring the land of milk and honey, not able to make it to the intenet easily and therefore, not able to blog as often. Every building here is either beige or in ruins so although I'm spiritually inspired, visually I'm not there yet. I'm traveling with family and friends, one of which is decorator Julie Hillman who's mastered the art of travel chic. I have to buy her white Calypso scarf with the pom poms the second I get back--it looks good with EVERYTHING. Shalom and looking forward to connecting soon, around April 5.

Going to Pieces... I wish!

I have a fantasy.. I wake up race to the airport... fly to Atlanta ..take a taxi to the store Pieces... hang out buy everything... then come home in time to eat dinner with the kiddies. It is going to happen one day the only question is when. I love this store so much it hurts but I have never been there. I base this all on the Piece written by the fabulouse Interior Designer Vanessa De Vargas on the blog Decor 8

Pink and Yellow Chairs that make the room

I have two bright green chairs in my living room that make the room pop but my ultimate goal is to have my apartment feel like a bag of jelly beans. I could NEVER live in a beige apartment... You?

Gloria Vanderbilt at Home

Gloria Vanderbilt at home... this is Glamour!
Photographer Jack Robinson's work is heaven but I warn you if you visit his site you will get lost in photographic fantasy for awhile. You can actually buy these photos with frame and so much more.

A great Eye....Amanda Nisbet

Amanda Nisbet Design inspires me. You can feel her passion for decor in the rooms she designs and shockingly she can make the boldest of bold appear calming. Note to self - say no to beige.
