french shutters.

there is a great blog flights of whimsy who posted this image awhile ago. i love it as we have the most incredible shutters at red ticking seen on 1stdibs.com that would be great used in this way...

this is such a fabulous room... love the orange chairs... paired with gray... and the shutters... wow.

2 days and counting...

i am giddy with delight... 2 days until my toes hit the sand... what are your plans for the 4th?

i love this.

this amazing piece has a long history... and the color and patina show it well.

the sea chest will be on 1stdibs.com this week.... not only is it lovely...

it is completely functional as well.

wish i were here...

eating this right now..

"turkey terrific"

fresh roasted turkey, hot homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce on a portuguese roll... thanksgiving in your mouth... in the middle of summer!

pack them up, take them to the beach and you will have the best picnic ever...

or, if you can't wait (which i usually my case) eat it as soon as you pay for it!

at provisions... on nantucket...

try one... you will never be the same.

happy sunday everyone... xx

what if?

life would be so good...

but really..

i am ok with being... me..

happy weekend everyone...xx

what's your style in one picture

my pal ally over at the from the right bank has a wonderful challenge that she runs from time to time

i pondered it... could not come up with anything, finally did and thought ... well i am late to the party as usual... but i will add my 2 cents ... better late than never....

this image is really lovely... i found it over at the brilliant blog simply seductive...

it is such a cheery, sun filled room with cozy soft white cushions...

the painted white floors...

crystal chandeliers.. (not too fussy)

a touch of a well worn vintage leather chair...

well loved candles... life is good.

i think we should keep ally's fabulous challenge going... anyone else?
