My fetish

Ribbons, yes ribbons, are my fetish.  I am seriously addicted to ribbons.  So, this weekend I hauled by two babies to a store dedicated solely to ribbon.  Rows and rows of ribbon.  I think it's a given that moms can continuously use the word *babies* to describe their children regardless of age, don't you agree?  Anyhow, while my kiddos occupied themselves quietly by pretending that they were spies and the security cameras were lasers, I walked the aisles slowly inspecting each shelf.  It was a treat.  Seriously, like an "anthropoligie" type treat.  It could be worse.

So here are a few of my goodies, which I determined were all from the same supplier.  Funny how your taste just meshes with some companies.  I poured through aisles and aisles and of mismatched ribbon and figured out that every roll I pulled was the same manufacturer.  

I love the thickness of the ribbon and the quality of detail. 

The two above have rows of fuzziness that remind me of a pussy willow.  The symmetry also gives it a post modern feel.  Love it!

You'll see these babies again soon as I combine their gorgeous textures with the ceiling tin pieces in my shop.

Loving Turquoise

I've taken this time worn tin and gave it new vibrancy by turning it into this turquoise welcome sign.

I *love* turquoise in natural hues or as a bright accent.  This beaded chandelier may as well be a gorgeous piece of jewelry.  It makes the room!

While this toned down earthy version feels relaxing & calm.

I love how this large bit of color not only works as a focal point, but it also makes the variety of colors & patterns that are going on in the room (closet...can you imagine?!) somehow work.  

How about these tall turquoise curtains in this eclectic room?

And finally, a room all its own in all its turquoise glory.  

enJOY!

Bedazzling My Walls

Okay, not exactly "bedazzling", but I am looking to give my walls a little pick me up.  My style has been shifting a bit and wall hangings are an easy way to morph my old & new styles.  

I've been scanning Etsy for a few pieces and am overwhelmed with the wonderful choices.

I love the detail of these letterpress prints.

And letterpress cards are a perfect way to fill a small frame.

Hope you enJOY!

If I were decorating with ceiling tin...

In my family room, I'd place this magnificent handmade sixty-four drawer apothecary cupboard in place of an entertainment center.  Of course, my better half would require a flat screen above and I would, of course, agree....I can't help it I love movies.

To balance the primitive-ness of this piece, I'd pair it with a few modern-ish pieces (besides the flat screen t.v.)...

I'd place the "enormous" ceiling tin board as a architectural art piece above the couch (minus the pictures).  The tin has such a beautiful design on its own and I want to keep the area somewhat simple.  

A little added texture & color from these stunning curtains.

Lastly, to add a little character, I'd place this instant collection of vintage clocks on the apothecary cupboard.
