Fabulous Black and White Bathroom

I love all of the black and white accessories in this wonderful vintage bathroom. via

Clothespins and Pinecones

Just playing around with overlays on PicMonkey having fun. After the hurricane I had to cut down the other tree holding up my clothes line. When spring comes I will put in a post because I miss it very much.

Antique Acquisition

I attended the last day of a house contents sale recently when the pickings were slim. I walked around several times and found a few treasures and then I spotted this shelf. It was filled with junk for sale and when I asked the price, nobody knew. The boss lady conducting the sale said it was a 'prop' but if I wanted it she would sell it for $8.00. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Just remember, it always pays to ask!

A Kitchen to Adore

I absolutely adore this Los Angeles kitchen belonging to fashion designer Heidi Merrick. The vintage white porcelain stove is wonderful. The simple white cabinets with white marble countertops are perfect. And have you ever seen a better stack of wooden cutting boards? See more rooms here.

Barn Friends

They look pretty pleased to know one another, don't they? The log-cabin type structure is pretty amazing. I don't blame them for not wanting to get their hooves and feet in the snow.  via

New Stone Cottage

Castro Design Studio, Atlanta. It is much bigger than it looks too. Step inside and take the house tour here. Have a great weekend.

Sewing Mice by Beatrix Potter

"The mice stitching button holes." 
From The Tailor of Gloucester, Beatrix Potter, cira 1902. I never tire of looking at her delightful images. via

Love-ly View

Looking through a heart-shaped hole in the fence. So nice. via Have a great day!
