Keep Calm and Carry On....

I'm Back Baby!!!

After a wonderful week away with one of my best buds I am back on the hunt!  One book every decorating nut must own is "I Married Adventure" by Osa Johnson.  After I kept seeing it's beautiful cover in image after image I decided I must have it.  Best place to buy one is on ebay, click here to score one of your very own.   I got mine for around $25.00.  See for yourself.........

Out of town for the week with my best bud!!! See you next week with some new great finds :)

You're My Lady...

Lately I have been obsessed with vintage lady portrait's.  After seeing a few this summer I decided I had to have one.  The hunt began and after months of searching I finally found "the one" on etsy from Coco+Kelley.  As I said before my lady is going in my powder room but I love them in living rooms, bedrooms and offices.  I am particularly fond of an entire collection covering a wall, how FAB!!!  You can find them from every era but I prefer the 60's/70's they are less old fashion and much more glamorous.  Since they are so hot right now the prices for them have gone up on ebay and even etsy--so keep your eyes peeled for one at an estate or garage sale!

Hanging Over Your Head...

After reading Finn's post yesterday on French Blue I was totally inspired.  I love when people use objects/things in kitchens that are typically not found there.  Here is what Finn recently found on her Paris Flea market trip (something I WILL do someday).  She hung it over her kitchen doorway, how lovely!

So to my surprise as I was hunting through etsy (which I do daily just in case) I found this....

Purchased from one of my very favorite stores on etsy Patina Posh.  It is ready to hang and finished in gold with a gesso wash.  I too am planning to hang it over my kitchen doorway just like French Blue!  Just in case my husband is reading this it was under $20 bucks, I swear :0

Desk For Success!!!

Adore the white desk, photos and overall color scheme
