A much needed reprieve from my daily grind.
Isn't Naples charming?
This is downtown.
And everyone is so sweet.
Most of the people who live here are from the mid-west!
YEAH!!!!
The flowers that are potted
are like the wild flowers you see all over Maine that are potted.
And you know how I love Maine.
That gorgeous woman is my nest friend from NYC,
she was maid of honor at my 2nd wedding.
But,
Let's not go there......
Her name is Sari and I love her like a sister.
And yes....she was a model.
She now is living in Naples.
We drove by this building and I went a bit nutzo.
I had to get out of the car and take pictures.
This is looking up in the entrance of the building.
It is a very mid century building.
The pool.
It looks very Bel-Air Calfornia.
This is the view from Sari's apartment where I was staying.
There are ducks and turtles galore.
It is very peaceful.
I feel like a new human being.
The next day I went to
Clive - Danial
Home.
I went in for an interview.
And again....
lovely people!!
Here are s few images taken there.
The store is huge and magnificent.
It is very cutting edge.
Their design department does absolutely everything,
from complete remodeling {kitchens & baths}
with an on staff architect etc etc.
For me, the showroom was living a dream.
There wasn't anything I wouldn't love to use in my own design work.
Look at these plates mounted on the wall.
A new take on the gourd lamp.
Right?
Love this dining room.
And the finishes were extraordinary.
This caught my eye.
It is very shallow.
Very.
And I am all about 'space'
so....I loved it.
The sconce in the middle was very different.
The crystals were draped like a fabric.
Another adored item!!
These discs were very clever.....
I love a long line of things mounted horizontally or vertically.
How about you??
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
I am heading back to the east coast momentarily.

- Things are looking up.
and a client just called me for some work this morning.
And then there is yesterdays interview at the above mentioned Clive - Danial.
Someone up there is looking out for me.
- Forgot to mention I spoke to Anne Harwell yesterday....
She really is the best.
