Ахроматический серый - нейтральный, поэтому хорошо сочетается практически со всеми цветами. Очень эффектно смотрится сочетание серого с яркими цветами - серый становится фоном и уравновешивает картинку, а яркие цвета сверкают во всей красе. А серый с мягкими цветами создает нежные и элегантные…
** FIRST ** My new office assistant! I've needed a book/pattern stand for a LONG time, this one works perfectly and it's aqua! Super sturdy and easy to store when not in use this book stand is perfect! Here it is from the back.

Make This Cool LED Lamp by Drilling a Single Hole. Easily make this cool lamp with a wine bottle and a set of cheap AA battery powered LED string lights. Go find yourself a nice wine bottle from your collection in the garage, (if you need to drink the wine first, it’s best to wait until the following day before making the lamp lol!) Any shape or colour works really, the more exotic and colourful the better. Soak and scrape off any labels etc. Gather together your drill and a ... Read More

When I came home this afternoon, I was beside myself with excitement because my main man was waiting for me on the front porch! He's back! lol Yes…my favorite designer has released a new book…Details by Charles Faudree…and I got my copy today! I was so excited to have a peek inside to see if his wonderful Country French style had changed…if it had been affected by the campagne chic or the minimalist crowds. And no…not one tiny bit! He style is still elegant, but comfortable, with lots of warm colors, beautiful antiques and layers and layers of wonderful...well...details! He is still my main man…the one I go to when I have a decor question or need to make a change in my home! This book is different from the others in that he doesn't concentrate on the rooms, but rather the details that, as he says “may seem like a small subject, but these finishing accessories are by far the most important part of decorating. People’s lives are expressed by little details. They give a room its soul.” I love this approach, since I often go to his books for just that purpose...to see what to put on my coffee table or mantel, for example. He focuses on several areas, including tablescapes…(I am lusting after that bouillotte lamp!) …and wall decorations…including pages and pages of plates on the wall. (You know I love that…and those buttery yellow walls!) …including a hutch chock full of blue and white porcelain from his own dining room…sigh! …as well as mantels. (File this one away in my inspiration file!) There are also sections on fabrics…lots of wonderful layers of fabulous mixes of fabrics…and lighting…so many beautiful and unusual lamps! Sigh again! Sooo…in honor of the publication of Charles Faudree’s new book Details, our Miss Kitty, the Plate Addict version of his Cavalier Spaniel Nicholas, would like to show you… …a few changes in our dining room…Faudree style! First, I have finally found enough double happiness jars to fill the top of the hutch! Yaay! The latest one is my favorite…and was the least expensive…a Goodwill hunting trophy at only $8.00! Woo hoo! I was also able to find the last two Spode Blue Room plates that I need to finish filling up the hutch…also both GW finds at about $6.00 each! I now have four of these from the Regency series that have the nice white scalloped edge. Of course, if you know my house, you know that I could have just taken a Spode plate or two off of the wall…but those stay there in case of emergencies…like if 25 people show up for lunch! lol Another great GW find is this pharmaceutical jar from Portugal for less than $3.00! I have been wanting one of these and they can be expensive! It reads U:CAELFUL:FO which, from what I understand, was a strong blue ointment used in 17th and 18th century England. My wonderful Blue Willow tureen anchors the bottom shelf. I found it at half-price when a local antique/gift shop went out of business! On the table is another tureen and one of my favorites, since it has such an unusual pumpkin shape! It was on display at the Blue Luna Café (now closed) in Grayton Beach, Florida and had to come home with me! And, of course, no Faudree-style hutch would be complete without a pair of Staffordshire dogs…Cavaliers, like his beloved Nicholas…picked up from my favorite flea/antique shop at half price! I know my little blue and white collection is not as wonderful as his collection of fabulous antique porcelain, but I think it’s not bad, considering much of it came from thrifting! So, I think you can see why I am so excited to have his new book Details! I will be devouring every page! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my dining room!
