PRE HOLIDAY MANTLE...


Too early to decorate for the holiday's, Jan refers to it as a transitional time..
We cleared her summer arrangement of vellum books and replaced them with
rich red antique Books for the fall and Thanksgiving.

The summer look..




Red books for some rich red punch.



Then she added some magnolia from the yard and some miniature pears and walnuts.






The Master has struck again!

TIMELESS BEAUTY


With the lack of magazines these days I find myself going into my archives
and pulling out ones I have saved from years past.
I came across this spread from a 2004 House & Garden.
I was amazed at how timeless it is. This could
easily grace the pages of Elle Decor today.
I looove this bedroom!!


It is hard to tell, but these architectural prints are just taped to the wall.
looks great!
