I'm at The Pink Pagoda!

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be Guest Posting at The Pink Pagoda today! 

I hope you come by and say "Hi"!

Which would you choose?

This is a beautiful beach house on Nantucket. For me, this is perfection! It is for sale...

It has a wonderful Great-room with v-groove paneling, gorgeous hardwood floors, and a lovely fireplace.

The office has an amazing ceiling treatment

The kitchen is my favorite room! 

Another area for lounging

Custom moldings and trim-work that make my eyes water

An all white foyer....

A perfect pool with stunning views

AND....all this could be yours for the 8.8 MILLION dollars!

OR

YOU

COULD

HAVE

THIS

Elizabeth Taylor's 33.19 carat diamond. It just sold for 8.8 Million dollars! Which would you choose?



Jingle Bark & Holiday Humor

I guess I have been working on my basement too long....or smelling the paint fumes....because, I find this funny! My faux crown molding post is not ready yet, so enjoy

This weekend I will be watching my favorite Holiday movie, Love Actually

...and here is one of my favorite "always make me laugh, no matter how many times I have seen it" clips

Back to the basement for me. Do you have a favorite Holiday movie?

Gallery Wall

I am pinning away for a gallery wall in my upstairs hallway. I am finding this so difficult to commit to......I keep changing my mind and my style. What do you think....


I love the sophistication

So, as you can see...I just can't make up my mind. Do you have any ideas?

Button Brooch Bouquet

I have a pile of buttons just waiting for the right application. I decided to click around Etsy for some inspiration....or maybe a quick purchase or two before the Holidays! I don't know about you, but for me, I always begin my search by sorting the highest price first. I want to start with "the top of the line" and then decide where I should actually land. If you're going to dream, you might as well dream big!

Well, I have not been in the bridal market for quite some time....so, if you have seen these around or are familiar with the concept....I apologize for being late to the party. These are Bridal Bouquet's made from brooches and buttons! I have never seen such amazing eye candy. I am simply in awe of the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Not to mention the fact that I just want to know....HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT?

I think this is a fantastic idea. It is something that you would have forever! What do you think?

Sam Allen

Did anyone happen to see the CBS Morning Show yesterday? It featured a Young designer named Sam Allen. I loved his work so much, I wanted to share it.

 Here is some of his work

I love all the layers!

I am going to try this rope treatment.

It feels so easy and comfortable. It reminds me of California. Only, Sam lives in Connecticut.

Apparently, Sam was in such high demand, he left college after his first year. He is currently juggling 12 projects at once! I mentioned that he was young.....he is only 19! I am looking forward to seeing more from him.
