Filthy Gorgeous

-

I find myself in Walnut Creek quite often and when I'm there I rarely miss a chance to stop by Filthy Gorgeous.


It's one of my favorite haunts in Contra Costa.


I always leave inspired...
 

It's full of one of a kind treasures
 

and fabulous displays.
 

Enjoy...
 
























The next time you're in Walnut Creek be sure and stop by if you've never been.  It's located on Main Street across from Starbucks!

Great treasure trove...it looks absolutely dangerous! Thanks for stopping by French Kissed and asking to see the rest of the Paris apartment...I added a couple of links to past posts to give you the entire tour you asked for so go back and take a look. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

what a lovely store. I rarely get to WC, but might have to make the trip soon.

Also, will you be at the flea market this weekend? Would love to say hi in person.

Filthy Gorgeous is one of my favorite stores in town. I love living in Walnut Creek! Have you ever been to Vintage Home in St. Helena? I just visited them (again) last weekend and it was just as great as always.....

YOU are so right: it's really an inspiring place. And look at your adorable mama, sitting so patiently as her little blogger snaps away! I might even consider having real birds in my home, just for a sweet cage like the one pictured. Loved the botanical charts and the gorgeous pillows, too. Great stuff! xx Suzanne

That's funny...
I LIVE in Walnut Creek - Hollywood, FL that is... lol It's only the name of the development and unfortunately, does NOT have the fab finds!!

I especially liked the shot of the linen forms next to the table of mini-tin buckets... as well as the clam dish of keys and the stacked books tied with twine...

:D Lynda

That name of the store alone is great... And I have always wanted an aviary that big! My breakfast room is smaller than that aviary so there is NO way it would fit in my house. Lol!

What a name! How cool is that? What isn't cool is the drool on my computer screen of all these fab places you find. I'd like those birds complete with cage but it would leave us no room to move in the house.

Terri, I am laughing because you know how often I am in WC and I have never been to this shop but I know exactly where it is, I think next time you come this close you need to come on down the road for a coffee break!! I make a really good cup of coffee, Love ya,Kathysue

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
