In the business of decorating and painting you are always looking for inspiration where every you are.

If can be the way the sun is reflecting on the water, the presentation of a platter of food, the froth of a cup of cappuccino!

One of my favorite places to find inspiration is on Tumblr   if you click on the link you will see my page.

The patina on the door 

The combination of the white exterior and dark interior

The natural wood and white wash top

the use of an antique garden bench

The combo or blue and red hues on the secretary

The white and tin

The garden table in the foyer

The green side board

The combo or white and black

various elements of fire, stone and wood

I hope you  enjoyed some of the ways that I get inspired.  I would love to hear what inspires you!

Green Thumb?

I have this wonderful south - east facing porch totally enclosed with floor to ceiling windows.....I have been a devoted gardener for years....but now it is a bit difficult because of our current location; (due to the winds coming across the bay).....  I found this potting bench in  Brimfield Mass years ago.....


This potting table followed me from our Farm House to our New York City Apartment to the Bay House.... I've used it as a server, a bar, a book shelve...I recently gave it a face lift...

Now inspired by this photo....

I have incorporated this beautiful potting shelve into our  porch....as you can see her face lift gave her a totally new look...and a bit of serenity...

Some Fresh Basil growing..

Amaryllis is a bit late for the holidays.... 

waiting for orchid to bloom

It is great to have pieces of furniture that are so versatile..  Remember its fun to reinvent items in our home.  Don't be afraid to use some paint....and move this around a bit...
