The Harvest And The Moon In Maine


A local Harvest Moon shot taken here in Maine.
You should have seen it over the ocean , 
with the dozens of sailboats still moored in our harbors.
It was gorgeous.


I am adjusting to my first few weeks of full time work....
I am just now feeling better about it.

I have never punched a 'time clock' in my life.
The punching of 'the time clock' is a complete post all by itself.




Anyway......this is what I did on my day off with my Mom.
We drove to Beth's Farm in Warren Maine.
The drive there was gorgeous.....
rolling hills, horse farms, and agriculture farms.
I LOVE ROLLING HILLS!!!!


I dream of what it would be like to ride my horse on those hills,
 and through the meadows which are still filled with field flowers.
He would have loved that!!!


Back to the harvest.....
PUMKINS.


Indian Corn
The corn looked like hundreds of garnets.
Beautiful.



The last time I saw brussel sprouts like this
I was in Paris.


And I actually grabbed an apple off a tree.
It was yummy.
Now I can say that I have picked apples......well, one apple.


And we have wineries here too.


I love beets.
Everything is fresh off the farm....
like in back of this building.


They even have hay for the horse farms.


Aren't these adorable ?



We drove to lunch past this lake.
There are bazillions of lakes and rivers here.



Have a lovely weekend.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the fall season.

Wood, Stone, Marble, Concrete & The MICHAEL FULLEN DESIGN GROUP


There is just something about CUSTOM doors,
and everything else that is custom.

It's CUSTOM!!!!!

Made for a special use or effect.
(that almost certainly wouldn't fit in another place 
and or would be useless anywhere else)

LOVE THAT!!!!


I am really into this type of paneling.


The wood wall above most certainly has storage behind a few of the panels.
It is so clean, yet has texture and warmth.


Contemporary can definitely rest the eye. 


Concrete.


Details.


This kitchen is so inviting.
Love it.
(but I am not loving the accessories or the pendants)




Tailored perfectly.


Marble/onyx
makes a lovely 'anything.'

Tall Ships in Camden Maine on Labor Day 2013

Tall Ships in Camden Maine on Labor Day 2013

I thought I should share with you just one of the amazing areas in
Mid-Coast Maine where I am living.


Camden is about 15 minutes from where I live.
There is always something going on there.
....and the shops are fabulous.


These images were all taken a few days ago,
when it wasn't raining
The weather was perfect to view the harbor filled with historical tall ships.


I think you will see why I love Maine.
BTW
Camden Maine is the most photographed city in the United States,
other than NYC.





Behind the lawn that I am standing on 
s a spectacular venue for small concerts.
It is under a canopy of trees.

The seating is a terraced lawn with huge granite rocks for seating,
and from those seats you can see the performers
and you can see the harbor behind the performers.
It is truly glorious.


Hope your holiday was wonderful.

XX's from Camden Miane

False Pride

False Pride & This Fish Out Of Her Water

“Learning to live on less pride has been a great investment in my future.”
Katerina Stoykova Klemer


I started out part-time and am now working full time!!
~~~~~~~

Ever since I arrived in Maine, I have tried to fit in.
(and I am beginning to)
I wasn't sure about how to find my niche in design up here,
so...
I came to the conclusion that I should understand the area 
and the people first.

Only then will
'MORE BE REVEALED TO ME.'

and ...
It's coming .... slowly.
But, it is coming.

I am enjoying the ride.
(wasn't sure if I would)

Boy,
I never thought I would be working where I am working now.
.......
Orange is my new Black.

I am still struggling with blogging,
I am rediscovering myself...who will I be here?
and blogging topics are going to be really different.

Like there is the coolest coastal shack on an island that I want to post
but
It's just so different than what I used to post about.
It will,
it will come to me 
and I will begin posting as frequently as I used to post.

all my BEST
XXXX's

Catchpole & Rye .... Tubs, Showers, Fittings, and Pull Chain Toilets To Die For

Catchpole & Rye 

Not for me 
but 
maybe I could take a bubble bath in this tub.
Could you?

http://luxurylifedesign.blogspot.com/2013/04/catchpole-and-ryes-swarovski-encrusted.html

Each crystal is applied by hand 
with a price tag of  about 200 plus thousand.

But wait,
there's more......

I don't know about you but I adore pedestal sinks.


I found the prettiest of everything at Catchpole & Rye.


I love bath tubs that have wall mounted fittings 
and that are mounted in the middle of the tub rather than on one end.
It's impossible to share a bath with the faucet on one end.
Right?



There were several watering holes 
that I frequented in NYC that had pull chain toilets.
The last time I visited one of these places....
they were still there.
I just think that they are cool, 
in a 'time traveling'  kind of way.



I thought this water tank was super clever,
and to the point



I have always loved wall mounted faucets.
Have you ever noticed that all the gunk gathers
 around the base of you faucet? 
Have your next faucet wall mounted 
rather that in the counter top 
and you will eliminate the gunk problem.







Check out the Catchpole & Rye below.

Have a great weekend.
I will be around to visit.
Hugs & xxs
