Exposure And Travel Are Vital...

For Re-Fueling Ones Creativity.

Especially if you create for a living.

I love love love  this color scheme.  Do You Like It ?


I especially like the collection of identical mirrors grouped together in this way.

Doing something like this can solve a problem... 

I have done this before, because I could get my hands on the right piece of art, in exactly the right size. 

You can always use the mirrors grouped in a different configuration elsewhere in the house, once you have found the perfect item for over the mantle. 

And, if you do not find it , well....

this would remain beautiful & timeless always.

Tomato Bisque And Blue

,I have from most of my career stayed away from ' Blues.'

But this chair fabric reminded me of a job I did with a woman who lived in Nantucket.

She insisted on BLUE. 

I squirmed in my seat and tried to talk her out of it...........no luck.

But, this is the exact color combination I used.

It ended up being one of my favorite color schemes.

The installation certainly was fun. 

Nantucket is a world unto itself. 

If you should ever go...bring the best camera you can get your hands on.

What do you think about this color combination ?

Boots & breeches, my all time favorite attire. And, to me the most comfortable.

Peonies........always.

May I Have an Ice Cream Please ?

Happy Mothers Day !
I am thinking today of the mothers that can not do the things they want to do for their children, for the constant lack of financial resources. I am not talking about any kind of extravagance. I am talking about simple things, like not being able to buy your child an ice cream cone, because you are watching every last dollar. An ice cream cone today costs about $ 3.00, and that is with no frills, no sprinkles, or chocolate coating. Imagine you have 3 children....

I am wishing for those in our country, and everywhere else that are suffering financially, that things will improve, and improve soon.
I am wishing , hoping, and praying for these mothers, and their children. 

With perfect financial circumstances, life and every 'little thing' that happens during the course of a day can be difficult. 

So, I pray that these mothers do not have to feel the pain, and the shame related to not being able to provide their child's everyday essentials. And to me.....an ice cream cone once in a while is a child's ' rite of passage' .

Is it not ?

Donate Children's Clothing.

Or maybe a woman's business suit, that you do not wear anymore....

Do what you can for those who are struggling...we all know someone who is.

And many are too proud to ask for help, they have never needed it before.

How The Other One Percent ........

Lives On Their Yachts!
( it might have been 2 % , before last September's Crash)





If one must be stuck in a hallway.............this works.

Could you see yourself living on, and working from your super yacht ???



*enlarge to see onyx
This bath is so great. I am an onyx lover anyway, but the application here with the glass is so practical.

' Interior Space ' on a yacht is priceless.
My favorite image in this collection.

What ???? So intimate...and are those are rubber made chairs ?  Not likely.





Oh look, the galley with people in it.
And without.


More Yachts....
