Shine a Light

So as I am currently remodeling I am obsessed with unique lighting and placement that is not ordinary. Some of these lights are re-purposed from vintage shades...some from the Peddlers Home Design (potato baskets) and some deliciously Ikea.

Renewal

It has been quite a while since I have blogged....the circumstances have sad pieces including my dear Mother's death. The truth is though that I missed the pretty....I love putting the colors that inspire me and renew my wonder and love of life. So today to honor my Mother and the sunshine she brought to my heart .....here is my yellow obsession roll!

Knack Number Chairs!

Anyone that knows me know of my number and letter fascination/and or obsession....So what delights do I find on amazing blogger/good girlfriend/customer's Barb Blair's blog...but these perfectly perfect chairs!!!

Pink and White Delish

I am spending time with family this week and have been so bad about posting!!! But I have been obsessed and compiling pictures with hints and pops of pink, white and otherwise....I love the girliness of these photos several of the photos are taken by Polly Wreford...others have been gathered for several months...various places!

Southern Living and My Porch re-do

Yay...my porch re-do in Birmingham finally found it's home in Southern Living...these photos were shot for Cottage Living before they folded (BOO...SO SAD). I found out recently that they were picked up by Southern Living for this special edition of makeovers...it's kind of fun because the paper quality is much nicer and also less advertising! Sorry the quality of photos is sketchy...but I do not want to tear them out yet...and cannot find them online :-)

Three Potato Four

This store is just adorable....so many vintage yet fresh ideas I wasn't sure that I could stop....whew! The restored orange phone is total perfection!!! And their vases precious....I am a total sucker for graphic design of all kinds and the coffee bags recycled into baskets are completely clever, charming and useful!!!
