Passing It On…

Hi gang!  Today I'm posting over at Fancy Little Things about "green decorating" so I hope you'll pop over and say hello! Remember this? Well, I bundled with love the second canvas from KariAnne... And sent it across the country to a gal who has blessed me immeasurably in the past year. I "met" her almost exactly a year ago when she won a Willow House giveaway on my blog.  We struck up an online friendship and she invited me … [Read more...]

Looky What I Found! {Wall Decor}

I was all set to share some new Catalog Finds with y'all (love all the fresh new catalogs arriving in my mailbox!) but I was stopped in my tracks by One King's Lane this morning.  Heard of OKL??  One of my favorite online decor sales sites.  While their beautiful wares don't always fit into my budget, this morning I found two lovely pieces I couldn't leave behind.   And her big sister...   What I love?  The round shape, … [Read more...]

Beautiful Hamptons Tablescape

These gorgeous images came to me via One Kings Lane's Facebook page, but I had to share!  A beautiful tablescape sets the tone for your party and makes your guests feel special.  These tables were for a luncheon hosted by One Kings Lane at the 2010 Hamptons Designer Showhouse.  Created by Geoffrey Ross (of Dransfield and Ross) and Hillary Thomas (Hillary Thomas Designs) these gems are the perfect illustration of attention to detail … [Read more...]

Hard Working Decor

Organization challenges me daily and no where am I more challenged than in my home office.  After all, it's the hub of my home, where I write, and where I run my SLAH business.  But after many stops and starts, I've realized that sterile organizational systems are not for me.   What works for my creative and over-active mind is organization with style.  Fortunately, my SLAH business has afforded me many beautiful … [Read more...]

E-Decor…Genius!

I have stumbled upon an absolutely genius concept in affordable decorating or redecorating, I Heart Design by Avenue.  In my opinion, it's brilliant!  Begun by three young designers last year, this company brings professional decorating on a budget to a whole new level through e-commerce.  The website is simple to navigate, walking you through step by step what YOU need to do, and then explaining in detail what THEY will do with a … [Read more...]
