All That Glitters Is Not Gold

Silver is the New Everything

 

Well, actually, silver is not new. Far from it.

Silver 's the all-time classic ultimate in timeless beauty when it comes to almost anything from fashion accessorizing to interior design, to tabletop.

What are most cherished family heirlooms made of? Right. 

Interior design and decoration is currently calling upon the timeless classic that is silver to create a dazzle that will never go out of style. Consider silver the ultimate neutral. On its own or in conjunction with other colors, silver and silvery gray are powerful tools for the decorator. They work well in both traditional and modern settings and in rooms that are very bright as well as those that are dark. 

Historical Buildings

Consider a decorating palette of cool pastels ~ pale greens & blues ~ with accents of silver and silvery gray from wall to floor to ceiling. Glints of silver take your eye from one special silver device to another, a lamp, a frame, a table. Unforgettable!

Sorcha Lamp

 

For a traditional decor, try adding a splash of contemporary in classic silver, and do the opposite in a modern setting. Nothing and no one argues with silver.

Silver, the old and new cool. Permanent elegance.

Silver ~ simply no substitute!

Awaiting a Royal Baby! ~ Yours!

As the world waits eagerly for the arrival of a royal baby in England (due end of July, and no particular reason these words are pink!), curiosity about the future heir or heiress' nursery is growing. So what exactly do royals watchers expect that bundle of joy will be coming home to?  As much as we are going to love the royal baby, let's talk about the only baby who really matters at the moment, and his or her little world ~ on this side of the pond!

It's a Girl!

From the moment you bring your precious bundle home, his or her (or their!) room will become a special place for you and your baby. Even if you keep your baby in your bedroom at night for the first few settling-in months, you'll probably use the baby's room for ch­anging diapers and other everyday tasks. The sooner you and your child feel comfortable in the nursery, the better. Choose soothing colors, the traditional baby pinks and blues are always beautiful. 

Going To Grandma's Huggums

From London: Reporters are camped out at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Merchants are prepared to sell souvenir mugs and plates. Union Jack decorations and baby decorations are everywhere ~ awaiting a future King or Queen.

Baby Animal Snugglers

Soft snuggly blankets and soft studded animals may becomes a true companion for years.  If your taste tends toward the lively and modern, a baby's room in black and white with pink or blue accents may be just the ticket. Think about keeping the colors on the clear and bright side to appeal to baby as he grows and makes the room his own. 

The royal rumor is that Kate is choosing neutrals and classic colors for the future HRH. Tradition reigns! 

The Ottoman Empire

The humble ottoman, originally the 'other man,' has a long history, dating back to the 1600s. This furniture piece, which is sometimes associated with the coffee table, provides options, accent, and a dash of color.  No matter your style or decor, don't overlook the ottoman.

Long and low for a coffee table effect, or in fact. Think about a glass top or a large decorative tray atop an elegant ottoman or footstool.

Footstools too!

A petite palate of color, a footstool provides a visual novelty, and a cozy accent.

Everyone likes a place to comfortably rest their feet, which is the primary use of ottomans and footstools. However, their function has evolved: now they can double as coffee tables, spots for seating, a decorative accessory, and more. Take a look at your space to determine how an ottoman might benefit you.

Take the beach home with you to the coldest or warmest of climates with a beachy upholstered footstool. Seaside theme never fails!

Design advice when using animal prints: use sparingly. Overuse is probably the only caveat when it comes to the cats, the cows, and the zebras. But by all means, don't be timid or intimidated ~ be bold! You simply cannot go wrong.

Pink Leopard Rug

Introduce an animal print rug or a carpet for starters. On the floors or walls, or running up stairs ~ any room in the house ~ even in the bathroom for a bold and beautiful statement. Animal prints have been around so long they qualify as classics, and are a safe & stunning fashion and design bet ~ animal prints are here to stay.

Happy Birthday America!

From Sea to Shining Sea

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...

American Flag Pillow (sold out)

 

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
