Fretwork Design

Over the weekend,  I took a drive  to Portsmouth, NH. Every house was beautiful.  The details were amazing.  I love the fretwork on this house.

and then I found this picture of a laundry room, genius.  I see a little fretwork in my future.

Organizing: Entertainment Center

Hello, again.  I’m back from Blogfest2013.  I had a great time and will be posting about it tomorrow.  Today, I’m bringing you a sponsored post that I’m very excited to share with you.  Wednesday is the day  I do my organizing and 15 minutes “Molly clean ups”   (Do you remember the kids’ show?)   I’m focusing on organizing my entertainment center in the family room, which gets lots of use, but little attention.

Between the flat-screen TV, gaming system, DVDs, and cords,  the entertainment center  is in need of  an overhaul.   I thought of disconnecting the gaming area, but when my boys come home from college we play the games.  We all love to play during the holidays, too.   To organize this area and get inspiration, I ‘m looking  to California Closets for storage solutions.  It’s important to me, that the entertainment center be stylish and functional.

I like the combination of open shelves to display decorative accessories and hide the videos and games.  Thank you California Closets for re-introducing me to your products for organizing the home with style.  California Closets is more than just closets.  Take a second look.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Week In Pictures

Time sure goes by fast when you’re having fun.  The week started with Mother’s Day breakfast by my 12 year old lovely daughter,  Next,  was Spring Market at the D&D Building, a dentist visit (not fun),  and sourcing for fabric.

Spring Market at the D&D Building with Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Mary McDonald.  Martyn has a new collection of wallcoverings and Mary has fabulous collection of fabrics exclusively for Schumacher.  (The black and white panels are from Martyn’s new line of black and white wallpaper.)   I also bought copies of their books and had them signed.   They were both very gracious with the time. 

Designers Michael Tavano, Alla Akimova, Christopher Coleman, Bella Mancini and Tara Seawright wow us with their tablescapes inspired from their favorite Spring getaways.

Fabric sourcing for project at Brunschwig & Fils.

 

Next week I’ll be in NYC for Blogfest 2013.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Crazy for Seersucker

 Seersucker for him…looks fabulous!

I love this wedding gown.  Perfect for renewing vows.

 A seersucker pencil skirt for the weekend.

Now you see why I’m crazy for seersucker.   Seersucker is like a favorite sweater, bringing comfort and style that is tried-and-true.

For the Graduate: Tulip Table

Graduations are exciting times filled with joy and accomplishments.   With my son graduating next year, I’ve started planning for his new apartment.  (Oh, to be young again. The excitement of a new career and  first apartment.)  Finding furniture pieces with good bones and comfort on a budget is easier when you have a plan.  With my son’s love for great meals, I’ve started with the dining room.  The tulip style dining table is my first choice.  It’s modern and will grow with him.

It makes for a good card table, too.  He could then pass it on to his sister.

With wedding season here, I think the tulip table is great for a couples first apartment.

The tulip table is available at various price points.   A great investment for many years of  dinners with friends and  family gatherings.
