A Chateau...

Loving this image today...
I might need some plaid, wool and riding boots
to live here but I'm down with that.

Fall...

I love days like today...

the air is crisp like an apple
*
the sun warms you like a wool blanket
*
the colors are vibrant you need shades
*
the smells are sweet and sour
*
the sounds of falling leaves are like the rustle of a tuutuu

It's a perfect Fall day!

Happy Tuesday!

Vintage Signs...

I love the old signage that peppered our country from coast to coast.
They don't make them like they use to...these would be fabulous hanging on a wall
continuing to tell their stories.

Metal...

For those of you that know me, you know I love me a little metal.

the warmth...
the patina...
the way it reflects light...
how it can go with any style...

It's so versatile and fun to play with when designing any room in the house...


I imagine the chairs around the dining table, the lights over the kitchen island and the lockers in the entry way for outerwear...

This would be perfect in the loo or as a nightstand...

source

Self explanatory...


source

I love these as candle holders, convert them into pendant lights or just let them shine as the little beauties they are...

source

Trays...catch alls in every room, serving, bulletin board, make up tray, accent piece to reflect the light...you get the picture.

source

My favorite...the industrial cart, there isn't a room you couldn't use of of these

source

Next time you find a piece of metal that you just aren't sure what to do with...go ahead, buy it!
You will eventually find it's home, it will speak to you and you will be soooo happy you did it.

Ciao,
