Graham and Green








I have recently discovered Graham and Green, a British company with some really great designs.  This is what browsing around the internet can get me in an evening.  Don't you just adore the first sofa piece?  Note the contrasting buttons- why didn't I think of that?   It reminds me of the vintage piece that I am hoping to pick up next week from the upholsterer.  I suggest you take at least a moment to be inspired by their collections, I love them!

Vintage Chic




I am so glad for the weekend, although I won't be resting too much, I like the idea of it.  Just a little vintage chic inspiration here..  

I received a sweet comment on the blog that made me think about somethings I had planned for this year in blogging.   I wanted to share more of my personal projects with you here, more of what truly inspires me to design in my own home, is that of interest to you my readers?  This year looks to be really great for getting some of the personal projects I have been planning actually done, making them so much more fun to share!

Have a great relaxing Saturday - it's always nice to spend a day doing things for yourself right?

Las Vegas World Market


So last week I had to sneak away to Las Vegas for a day to go to the furniture show.  I had some ordering to do and a few projects to hunt for.  There were some great new pieces so it was worth while.


Love these new hanging lights... must find a spot to use them.  They are made here in California by hand!



Perfect art for one of my projects!!  It is so nice to find something that works so well!




Another super cool grouping of lights!


Sorry for the blurry photo (I was low on batteries) but this table is great because it is taller than your average barrel style table.  Perfect for a side table.



NEED these!


The Iris wall lights- totally cool!



A great view of the large Bling Chandelier.



It was nice to see Bliss Studio in person.



I love the chests with the mirror inserts.



I ordered some of these pillows for jobs and a few for my son's bedroom.
 They are perfect in Orange and Grey!
Love this chair.

Apparently lighting in multiples was the thing to do (or maybe it is just one of my favorites).  I love love this.





These are so cool as a low profile dining chair for a different look.  


It was a quick trip but I found what I needed and had a little time to shop in the hotel which was nice.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Dreaming {by invitation}




Dreams are such a fun thing.  I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me.  I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

 I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas.  A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!


This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites!  Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans.  Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food.  It would be amazing we would cook and read.


We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere. 


Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..


My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.


 

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.



A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?



Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!
