Something Fabulous on Captiva Island

on the west coast of Florida.
Let's hope 'the spill' doesn't destroy this tiny island forever.
*Vintage Salviati pendants suspend from above, while reverse-painted glass forms the back splash.
I fell in love with the colors.....
and I have a real thing for reverse painted back splashes!!

But this is really to die for!!

my head cold has progressed to a sore throat that is killing me.
and the coughing is no fun either!!!

  5. Great colour combination Renee. I saw the most stunning chandelier in a museum in Quebec over the weekend. The artist had collected old glass bottles in all the colour featured here and placed fishing wire on each and then strung them together into a massive collection, like one bit tear drop, beautifully arranged.
    You can just imagine what it looked like when lit up...reminded me of all these photos...
    Beautiful!

  8. OK, Renee...you've outdone yourself on this post. I love this house, especially the kitchen, and probably know exactly where it is. I spent a week on Captiva couple of years ago. Those hanging fixtures in the kitchen rock big time, don't they? Are they hideously expensive? Feel better so we can talk. xx's

  9. Divine outdoor space! And the color combination in the living room is quite stunning, including the flower prints on the wall that add stronger hues.

    All the best!

  14. I can see why people near water would like these colors. I would never pick these combos in a million years (except for when I decorated my dorm room with them in fall of 1969, the year being an anomaly for a generation or two or three!
