Palmer Weiss
Well, as if I needed a reason to move back to San Francisco; Palmer Weiss, my new favorite designer, could be one of the reasons. I find her look so fresh, fun and happy.
love the white chairs
I want to sit in that mod chair

the base of the table is so glam
love the white chairswhere do you find handles like this
I want to sit in that mod chair perfect balance of color
I will borrow this ribbon detail idea
feels like a vacation

another great ribbon idea
I'm inspired!
Santa Barbara Homes
Today, since it is raining AGAIN, my mind has headed West. Here are two homes I found on Realtor.com.
not what you expect in Santa Barbara
how relaxing
tv or view?
who does the windows?
more typical for Santa Barbara
you could live on that island
nice pop of color
I'm in!
I have never seen a water feature like this before
this is fantastic!
a nice place to read
Love the green accent wall!
Which one are you?
Red Rover, Red Rover, please send Sarah Richardson over!
I love Sarah Richardson. I have been a huge fan of hers for over 10 years. I'm sure you saw her "Island Cottage" series that just ran on HGTV. She is one of the best things Canada has to offer....here is a glance at the inspiring cottage of hers
marble floors with v-groove panel walls
A roof-top deck that I would sleep under the stars on
A farm table, upholstered chairs...and a bench
painted v-groove and stained v-groove (love the hanging quilt)
great idea to paint two tone, feels fresh
Love the headboard, not too difficult for DIY
Painted floors, I'm afraid to try this, but I love it
The view says it all
I have always wanted 4 club chairs around a round table
a new take on red, white and blue
Now that's a vacation home!
Shopping for Houses on Martha's Vineyard
Today, I thought it would be fun and inspirational, to shop for homes on Martha's Vineyard (virtually of course). All images are from Buyers Agents.
A Gambrel roof and a row of hydrangeas...wow!
A perfect spot for a quiet lunch
Who doesn't love a white fence?
A private doc!
Climbing roses
The perfectly understated pool
I feel more relaxed, now into the garden!
Front Porch Finished!
A while back, I was planning on a Front Porch Make-over. Here is one of the "before" shots
I was thinking of white cushions that I spoke about here. Well, truth be told....the white did not work out for me. The first set of cushions I made were too small. Tip, outdoor foam does not react the same as pillow forms (I like to sew my pillows an inch smaller all the way around, so they have that "poooff"). When I went to buy more outdoor fabric, white was gone. So, here is the "after"
A "Happy Accident", they are turquoise.
I also told you about my outdoor rug I bought on-line. If you remember, it arrived like this. So, to get it to lay flat, I did this
put it on a hot driveway, and before long, it looked like this
nice and FLAT! Here are a few more pictures of my porch

and my window boxes
onto the next........

Hallway Console Table
Today, I am thinking about a console table for my upstairs hallway. It is long and could use something. I would want it to be narrow. Maybe a shelf is the answer? Here is what I am looking at, all images are from "The Find"
This one has bamboo rope detail (feels coastal)
Too common?
This debate will go on in my head for some time......

Metal and wood (very Restoration Hardware?)
