Blog Love

-

I 've been bursting with blog love lately and feel the need to spread it... it's just too good to keep it to myself any longer...

First off is the gorgeous and talented Kellie of  Cashon & Co.
She never ceases to amaze with her vast repertoire of fascinating posts.  Besides her thoroughly amazing blog, she is a brilliantly talented interior designer residing in Dallas and raising two young sons.  I look forward to each and every post she does and I think you will too!




Next up,  is my dear friend Kathysue and her new blog,  The Good Life of Design.
She is not only the sweetest lady on the planet which you can tell from the way she writes, but she has an amazing ability to show you things about the design process that you never knew or thought about!
Trust me, you will develop an addiction to her blog! 




Donna, from  A Perfect Gray,  is the newest kid on the block. The first time I visited her blog, I was smitten by her design sensibility and passion for the perfect shade of gray!  I have since found out she was an antiques dealer and trust me, it shows.  She teases me with occasional glimpses into her fabulous abode always leaving me wanting more!!  Please go and check out her blog and leave a comment  requesting her to post more photos of her amazing home!!





Beautifully 50  is another favorite of mine!  I just love this woman who is on a quest to accept turning 50 with grace and wisdom.  Her blog is chock full of tips, advice and insights into the joys of turning 50 and accepting mid-life with aplomb.






Amanda of  Tart Paperie  is a burst of fresh air!  She is a young woman with her own stationary line who is living her dream!  In the relatively short time she's been blogging, I've seen her grow and spread her wings and love being a part of her journey as she makes her way in the world.  She constantly  amazes me with her charm and creativity!





Another young blogger I love is from Finland.  Her blog  Lumo Lifestyle  means "enchant" in Finnish.  I love seeing things from her vantage point and part of the world!  She is one of the best things about blogging, which has given us a medium in which to cultivate a friendship that could have never been possible at any other time in history until now.  Blogland has become a global villiage.





Two other blogs that I've recently found and look forward to following are,  Karina Gentinetta  and The Dowsers Daughter.   Both of them just started blogging but from what I can tell... they are keepers!!
Definitely check them out when you get a chance... you'll see what I mean!






Happy Weekend!!

I agree Terri. Even though I don't have my own blog yet, I have to admit I go away drooling and I mean literally drooling at all of these beautiful blogs you have turned me onto. Not only does my design imagination get ignited, but also because I have a BFA in Photography, I am taken away for hours by all the images- be it a vintage photo or an awesome pic of someone's home or piece of furniture, what have you... I was just discussing with my hairdresser that there is a bevy of talented woman bloggers out there presently and it is the new art movement. It is an art and it is deffo a woman's movement. The talent that is out there is absolutely amazing. P.S. I met my husband on a music site! Maybe one of the reason's I don't have my own blog. I am living with the love I found on-line! :-)

Terri, thank you for your kind words! I have loved to read your blog from the moment I found it and now I even see my own blog featured in it!!!

I hadn't even read many blogs before I started to write mine in August. I have ever since started to follow other blogs and have found via them so many interesting blogs and people with their own unique thoughts from all over the world.

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Image
Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
