My Naples Escapade & A Visit To Clive -Daniel Home

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.

I have my next interview on the May 21st with a major fabric showroom at the D.C.O.T.A,

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....

we will get together next time I am over here on the west coast.

She really is the best.
