GREAT FINDS AT THE ANTIQUES MARKET!

Lots of things to see!

This Sette was gorgeous.. it gave me a headache!

Funky and Fresh...a new twist on a very traditional French
Stool...it was cast aluminum (it weighed a ton!) and was
covered in this cool lime patent leather material. There were other colors
available but this one caught my attention. Absolutely loved it!

The color and size of these old door drew me in.
What a great entrance these will make...


I have always loved Antique and Flea markets. There is always something there you have to have. It is always fun to find some quirky or intriguing object. I was at Scott's Antiques in Atlanta and saw some really cool pieces......some great chairs... a beautifully upholstered french sette, and a fabulous pair of old doors that had a great finish. I took a few pictures but these were my faves!

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ROOMS!

LIBRARY BY JOHN OETGEN

SUNROOM BY KAY DOUGLAS

LIVING ROOM BY WILLIAM PEACE


These rooms really make a statement...I love the use of colors and textures and the blending of different styles that have come together to make these rooms personal and individual...while still maintaining a very strong sense of style.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As I am new to the world of blogging, I wanted to find a fab photo of a Dining Room setting or a great photo of people gathering and enjoying each others company...but decided to just let the words speak. I give thanks for my family and friends near and far and my hope is that we all celebrate the life we have and be thankful for our blessings big and small.

Great Chair


The Holidays are upon us again....and it seems that every year people are in a scrabble searching for Dining Room Furniture. Chairs in particular seem to be the hardest thing to find. I like dining chairs that are interesting, stylish and yet understated... I have come across some by Designer Maxine Snider that I thought were just that.
