And, The Paint Goes On…. La-di-da-di-dee, la-di-da-di-dah…my painting class goes on and I finally put my Fish Houses painting to bed. I say put to bed because, while it’s not perfect and it could use a lot more work, I’m done with it. I needed to move on, so I did. The following pictures are of my third pass (I really wanted it to be my last), a revisit of the original inspiration painting and then, finally, my final pass on Fish Houses. Fish Houses, Monhegan by Bernhard Gutmann. One of my resolutions fo...

Thursday, February 16, 2017. Neutral But Not Boring! Doesn't it seem like neutral decor has taken over? I love that neutral palette is easy on the eye and allows one to decompress when entering a neutral space. However, I sometimes get bored seeing the same theme over and over again. Neutral need not be boring! These next ones are wonderful as well! I absolutely love the inter mix of neutrals by Highland Court for Duralee. These can add style to any neutral space taking it from yawn to YES! There is one ...

Sunday, January 31, 2016. Tullamore Farms And The Farm Cooks. I had the great fortune of having a surprise 50th Birthday celebration with close friends and family at Tullamore Farms in Stockton, New Jersey. I had read about The Farm Cooking School in a magazine and recognized Ian Knauer from one of my favorite PBS cooking shows, "The Farm". I also read that Shelly Wiseman of Gourmet Magazine had joined forces with Ian for teaching class so this really intrigued me. I for one am already looking at the veg...

Wednesday, April 19, 2017. Slightly South Of Simple. I cannot believe that Kristy Woodson Harvey. Of My Design Chic. Has written a third book! She is one very busy talented lady!

To get your copy of this wonderful book please go HERE. So I wanted to see if I could recreate in my minds eye Ms. Ansley's home, so here goes nothing! Still waiting fo...

Thursday, September 29, 2016. Plum Crazy about plum! This season I am drawn to plums, aubergine and deep port wine. There is something warm and rich about this tone and if it's textured or glossy or shimmering its even better! Here are a few things that make me plum crazy! Well, any room done by Garrow Kedigian but especially this gorgeous hued living room below! I got to speak with Garrow at Traditional Home's Art Of the Table. And he is one of the nicest people! I love the new line of bracelets from.
