Happy Birthday to Me!


I love this photo. I posted it two years ago on my birthday and I think I might make it an annual tradition. What could be better than a paper crown and a doll in a cake?! I also want to thank everyone who already sent me lovely birthday wishes! I really appreciate your continued support and encouragement! Here's to wonderful birthdays for everyone this year! XOXO!

More of the Maine Beach Cottage

I wanted to share with you more of the photos Jamie Salomon of Salomon Photography, sent to me of Interior Designer, Francine O'Donnell's wonderful Beach House in Maine. Of course the blue ceilings in some of the rooms really caught my eye, but it's the whimsical, vintage decor that kept me wanting to see more.
From dining room above you can see the kitchen (and the beautiful blue ceiling) through the doorway. Notice the fabulous door moulding.
I like the use of the garden table with marble top and a mix of two different chairs. The addition of old chippy garden urns and the crystal chandelier adds to the warm, relaxed feeling.
Here you see a better photo of the table. Adding a thin stone piece on the radiator creates an instant shelf and display area for the owner's garden urns. Painted antique desk continues to enhance the cottage feel.
What an incredible eye O'Donnell has! She truly has a gift for combining vintage objects into beautiful vignettes.
Here is a closer look. Urns, statues, marble, painted tables, iron furniture, distressed mirror!! Fabulous!!
An old stove becomes a table for two antique garden chairs!! So many great ideas!!
Here is a great shot of the dining room looking in from the living room and beyond into the kitchen.
Gray walls continue from the dining room into the living room and provide a great backdrop for the interesting artwork. Clever mix of florals and painted antiques continue the cottage vibe.
Another view shows more vintage mirrors and books.
Another stone piece creates a radiator shelf.
Garden statue brings additional whimsy to this room.
The bedroom has a gorgeous antique iron bed.
Again we see a garden table base topped with stone - I love the artwork.
One of my favorites is this whimsical ampersand "framed" with two vintage frames. So creative!!
Finally the bath with industrial cart holding bath products and towels. Above vintage hand mirror becomes an art piece on the wall!
Francine O'Donnell's Maine Beach cottage is filled with great ideas for bringing a more whimsical flair to your decor!! Thank you Francine and Jamie for sharing this great home with us!

RUSTICO MARINO PARTICULAR

................................


Algunos interiores rusticos marinos no son tan caracteristicos, pero siempre la cercania con el agua del ayuda.

Los tonos celestes y azules profundos, ya no son tan importantes, y si los accesorios toman mas fuerza.

El blanco estara siempre presente, como las farolas marineras y algunos cabos con nudos.

DULCES Y RUSTICAS VERANDAS

...........................................


Las verandas son tan tradicionales en la arquitectura americana como en ningun lugar del Mundo.

Son sitios ideales para el verano, y en el campo como en la montaña, son esos lugares en los que se disfrutan las tardes, el paisaje, y las noches.

Las verandas generalmente son semicubiertas pero en algunos casos son cerradas, especialmente en aquellos sitios frios en los que seria imposible su utilizacion.

RUSTICO INFANTIL

............................................


El estilo rustico, es sabido que se adapta perfectamente al publico infantil si se es original y divertido a la hora de diseñar la ambientacion.

El estilo rustico no es solemne, anticuado, ni aburrido por si, sino que a veces se cae en estos tipos por no hacer una busqueda mas intensa de ambientaciones alegres, incorporando colores, formas y luces interesantes.

Se adapta especialmente a los dormitorios de niños y a sus salas de juegos infantiles.

Chic Reads: An Education

I didn't realize until recently that the film An Education was actually based on a piece of the same name that appeared in Granta magazine in 2003. That led to a longer memoir by Lynn Barber that picks up where the film leaves off. I am in the middle of reading An Education now and I have to say that I think it's actually better than the movie. The episode with Simon is only one chapter of her life that is rich with interesting episodes and jobs, one of which was working for Bob Guccione! If you ever wondered what happened to Jenny at the end of movie, then definitely pick up this book! Bon Weekend!
