A New Vignette

-


I did some rearranging in this room just before the Christmas Holiday.


I replaced the concrete faux bois demi-lune console table with this vintage bamboo screen I've had for over 20 years stored in our attic.


  As you can see, it needs fabric panels but I'm loving how it looks on this wall.


I found some wonderful silk last week at the most fabulous shop.


I look forward to introducing you to Laura & Kirin, my newest sponsor, in my next post.


Some of you might remember several months ago when I bought this pair of Ginger Jars at auction.


I originally intended them for my mantel which is where they've been until I moved them over to this dresser and placed them in front of the large Henredon mirror.


Now I realize they belonged here from the start.
They are absolutely perfect in size and scale and have made this part of the room come alive!


This vignette will definitely be staying long after the Christmas Season!


Sans the festive touches of course!


So, what do you think?


Is it a keeper?


Hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend!

Just stunning! Your ginger jars look perfect on the chest, in front of that mirror. The whole setting is stunning and looks like something out of a magazine shoot.

It's beautiful...but I would like to see something smaller in scale on top of the books. As it is, it distracts from the beauty of the ginger jars.

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!
