french chandeliers....

i wish i could have them all....

thinking about this 

for my dining room...

or one of these...

they are all so beautiful.....

what do i do?

i know stainless steel is timeless, 

but i am over it!

i am wanting a fresher

brighter

look...

finding this isn't easy...

but this is a cool new line i found 

that is pretty cool...

how cute a green fridge?

or a pink range?

i personally am thinking white...

maybe white 

AND

stainless...

i really like this retro 

style from big chill.....

i wonder wat i will end up with???

ahh

decisions... decisions,,, decisions...

candles vs books...

what a great idea!

since receiving my new sofa....

my fireplace is exposed...

since it doesn't work, i painted the interior 

all white.

i was thinking of filling it with candles...

BUT

i came across this idea

which is quite cute...

 fireplace filled with books...

which one do you think i should do?

amazing interior...

well i am dying to get to india for a visit...

these are pictures of 
Liza Bruce’s home in India...

india doesn't seem to be the place you picture 
popular for a second home.....
unless of course you are wealthy, eclectic, and enjoy
the exotic...

take a look...

still thinking about pillows and textiles.....

grain sacks are wonderfully charming and 

have a great deal of history to them.

they are quite rare and of course very valuable.

Kymberley Fraser of 3 Fine Grains

has been collecting these sacks for years. these sacks are around 

100 years old and 

are hemp linen in a herringbone 

pattern. most originals have patches

that only increases its value.

these chair and pillows are just charming and elegant.

their history definitely gives a sophistication and elegance

that only something handmade and 

100 years old can give.

when done correctly, these textile chairs and pillows

could go in a dining room,  kitchen, even a bedroom.

they are simply great.

some of these can be found on ebay:

i just adore these grain bags with the traditional

stripes. i think they would 

look great going down a staircase.

put feathers in this grain sack and you have a beautiful pillow

i would love

 to start collecting several and make bedding,hand bags  or even 

window coverings,

maybe a chair covering

these gems 

are very versatile...

i LOVE this winged chair!

 

so off i go antiquing ..... trying to find deals

on old grain bags...

i will turn these old sacks into 

something modern, and beautiful and each piece

will have a story to tell.
