Beds and pillows and pillows and beds...

I am seeking inspiration and sunshine.
 TODAY I am in sunshine heaven!!!
 My work and my play run together so I am trying to focus on fabrics and colors and pillows but the sunshine is keeping me outside just walking around.

pondering spot

things I love

I have a big deadline coming up so I decided to put polka dots on my rusty fridge at the beach to help get the creative juices flowing…… and help me focus...

white always inspires me

and so does color

and so does art

a bit of shiny

a bit of bold

My old fridge with a new "do"

My bed with colors and white and texture ..dreaming my project complete...

Valentine's Day ..Blue Sky and Sunshine .…Hallelujah !!!!!

I made a fast trip to town and felt like I had crossed the ocean to some magical street in some foreign country when I saw this display at Whole Foods in Savannah.


I  just wanted to drive off in this cool old truck full of flowers  but I thought better of it……
Instead I just took some pictures.  Seeing it just made me so happy.

the truck belong to the owner of the florist

I am a flower freak and a color freak

the magic was everywhere

hydrangeas are my favorite

  I just may make it to spring… Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Cottage Cottage...You Make Me Smile....!!!

I am working on several new projects with new clients and I wanted to share a few idea with them. I decided to post the photos since they do not live in Georgia....................
 

Cottages are big on style but usually small in size...

Cottages usually have porches and use the outdoor spaces to expand their inner walls

Cottages are no good without their windows..

Cottages reflect what is most important to you..not full of Just "stuff" .Not enough room for that

Cottage make you smile when you drive down the road toward them..

Cottages are for sharing but also for hiding in....

Cottages are dreams come true!!!

Cottages are no stress zones

Cottage pondering time..
This cottage was featured in Coastal Living Magazine a few years ago. Richard Leo Johnson Photographed it .Elizabeth Beeler styled it .Anna and I and the wonderful home owner were the helpers..We had a ball even though it was 98 degrees outside..
