Ralph Lauren Dining Room

Here is one particular photograph we were looking at. See the mix of western with english-no frame matches exactly the same. The crystal chandelier hanging above with blue & white transferware...such contrast just love it. Never get tired of this look...

Lovin' Ralph

We were recently talking about how to get a certain feel and look in your home-Venita said she wanted her look to be Ralph-but how do you get his look? I love how he mixes Native American prints with English horses-red plaids with kilim and persian rugs...his style is so interesting and distinct....

Isn't this distressed zebra ottoman fantastic? The old scuffed wooden floors and the bookcases stuffed full of great books. Maybe the best way to get "a look" is to study what you love?

Bright Turquoise Boxes

Love these beautiful bright blue turquoise boxes in with silver studs-what great accessory pieces they would make! They could be stacked in a bookcase or displayed on a large coffee table with wonderful books stacked around them...

Chicken-Andouille Gumbo with Roasted Potatoes

You can't go wrong with this classic Southern dish to fill you up on chilly nights featured at Southern Living. This gumbo is even heartier by adding roasted potatoes to the traditional mix of andouille sausage, Cajun seasonings, and veggies.

Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday Tootsie

Well one of our shop girls had her first birthday party-Thanks Aunt DD for throwing a fabulous breakfast party for our "tootsie". Your home is always inspiring and a delight to visit!

The theme is "red tulips" and early Spring-this deer mount is adorned in a cedar garland above her great brick fireplace. Red tulips are tucked all around his majestic head-love the burlap ribbon intertwined around the cedar and tulips as well!

Fresh red tulips in a wicker glass lantern-so charming! Fresh flowers can be a quick pick me up on an island in a kitchen or anywhere this time of year. After I saw these I had to go pick up some pink ones they made me smile...

Bright yellow and red parrot tulips on kitchen island mixed with wooden cutting boards and glass jars full of goodies...love the antique red transferware platter displayed in the center.

White hydrangeas and red tulip arrangement in the center of her farmhouse table-love the blue & white transferware mixed in with these beautiful ruby red glasses and picture!

Plaid napkins mixed with linen striped red napkins and a plaid tin box full of scottish shortbreads oh the details!

Such sweet details-chocolate brown paper with pink ribbon. Fresh cedar is tucked into the bow...

These were Madeline's cupcake favors-so much fun to put together. Natural brown paper boxes wrapped with pink ribbon and natural twine. Such fun until next time!

Great lamps and art-wonderful linen script pillows, bright pottery, fresh and bright table linens and so much more!

Antique Chinese Chest

Love this fresh new display with this wonderful old and scrubbed Chinese chest with hues of burnt orange, greens and blacks. The red tulips pop with the red Vietri in the shelves in the background! I can see this chest next to a chair with one of our great lamps on it or used as a great nightstand-the options are endless! It's a great size and has such personality-great price too!
