Amazing how you can decorate a room just by pulling from other rooms. This slipcovered chair was one of the four I had in my living room. The view as you enter my room.
I love Old Leather Bibles and Photo Albums
Paper Whites to fill the room with the scent of paradise
I could never part with my magazine stand.
My favorite Chromolithograph of Sweet Birds
Love that little utility Stool, I wanted to share some pictures of my office I've just redone. This room was featured in Romantic County Magazine in 2007 dream Rooms when it was full of floral fabrics and my Rose Oil Paintings. I repainted the walls white and wanted to keep with a softer palette. It is much more serene and a nice place to work without all the distraction of color.
I did two posts because I had trouble with the pictures. I guess if I posted more often I wouldn't have this problem, haha.
Found this great Old Farm Table from one of my favorite stores BUNGALOW that worked perfect as my desk
Its fun adding different elements I'll call Crusty, Rusty Utility & Garden
to Romantic White Linen Slipcovers and ruffled Linen Lampshades
I couldn't part with this Old Medical Cabinet with my Favorite Statue
I managed to throw in a piece of Wonderful Old Ironstone and how I love Old Wire Baskets and Birdcages, which you can find on my website
This is a great Old Iron Planter My friend Sandy gave me
Perfect for a Vase of White Roses
Found this Old Bread Box, slapped on an old Glass Knob and its perfect to hide the ugly stuff.
I've had some fun re-doing my eating area with a Vintage Oak French Dining Room Set I picked up. I had some white linen ruffled slips made for the seats to bring in the white and make it look a little more casual. Its a huge table over 7 ft. long and has a 2.5 ft. leaf that I can put in. The backs of the end chairs are a tan naugahide but it works for now. I traded out my Primative Farm Table and 6 white chairs. The chairs are sold but my 7 ft. Farm table is still available for sale. You can see it in the magazine or my past posts.
I also picked up a wonderful Old Black Iron Bed from a friend so I revamped my guest room a bit. I love how the bed is so high now and looks so comfy...makes me wanna come visit lol.

Well this last month I made a huge decision to leave the Antique store where I've been selling for 15 years and re-invent myself sort of. So I took my little barn where I stored all my merchandise (which was disgusting inside I might add) and had it refurbished, now its like I have my own little store to putter in and decorate (which I knew I would miss moving from the store) because you know its all about putting it together and walking away knowing that your space looks awesome, that gives you that creative fix we love. Now when I have my sales from the house its more inviting and intimate. I had a sale here yesterday and it was so successful and fun..here's a few pics of how it looked in the process of putting it together. Hope everyones having a wonderful 4th of July. Oh and if you live in the L.A. area and you want to be put on my mailing list for the next sale date just post me a message. Also feel free to ask about whats still available.
My dear friend Jennifer (you all know her) had a great idea...she suggested I post more of the pictures from Romantic Country Magazine Summer 2009 that my home was featured in. A great idea for those of you who don't have access to it. I hope you enjoy what you see.

I am excited and honored to be in the lastest issue of Romantic Country Magazine, Summer 2009. I want to thank Fifi O'neil, Sunday Hendrickson and photographer John Ellis for their hard work and effort. It was such a fun day and when I say day, I mean they were here almost 10 hours. You think they just come in snap a few pics and waa laa.... but theres so much more that goes into this. I will give you a sneek peek but you should go out and buy the magazine because its full of great eye candy and inspiration for that decorating and creative fix we all crave.
This weekend on my hunt for "Fascinatingfinds" I stumbled across this great Bamboo and Wicker Bike. I've never seen one like this, have you? When I spotted it I thought.......this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Picture this in your garden or in your store for a fabulous display. Its Soooo Tommy Bahama or Ralph Lauren with a little Hawaiiana. Omg and if you cruise around on this cool cruiser you'll be the talk of the town. If anyone has any idea or info on a bicycle like this I hope you'll pass on the info. The man I bought this from bought this used many years ago in Hawaii. By the way you can see more pictures of this on my ebay sight, just click the link.
