Can you tell I have the winter blahs? All I want to look at are bright light things.
Serving dishes really get me excited and that sectional dish is adorable. Below it is an amazing cake! It has a lot of detail but is still streamlined. The tedious monotony of making and applying the circles on the fondant is right up my alley for zoning out on a project. For the life of me, I cannot remember where the 3-D owl plaque came from. It’s made of some type of acrylic and they had other animals as well, like squirrels, in many colors. The pendant is a type of embedded quartz. The pearl ball is a christmas ornament. My mom and I used to make these when I was little (more monotony to zen out to). You take a styrofoam ball, various beads (sequins are fun too), and attach them to the ball with straight pins. Really easy and lots of room for creativity. The Japan poster print is from allposters.com for just $12.99. The color scheme is one of my favorites. I believe the d’Orsay pumps are Manolos. Beautiful place setting, flowers, halter top and Guess bag.
The silver cuff has coral shapes applied. I’m not a big fan of diamond rings. I have a modest antique ring from my grandmother and a few I will inherit but as far as engagement rings go, unlike with Elizabeth Taylor, diamonds have never really brought me luck. I do like the delicate open nature of this ring though. It’s light as air, symbolizes eternity and has a low profile. This would be an ideal right hand ring if you’re not into those door knockers. More d’Orsay pumps in a fun nautical stripe. I loooove this white woven bag but I can’t read that tag or remember who made it. The pendant is another chunk of crystal with a thin chain running through it. The seahorse earrings are dear and so is the off-center singular encased butterfly wing. A lot of people are working with wings on etsy.com these days. I love the silver deer ring but it would probably catch on everything. The Jane Fonda print was from a story on one of the Arquette sister’s homes. It’s controversial and I don’t particularly agree with how she handled that situation but it’s still pretty badass, especially in red monochrome. A breezy lattice bra, bright sunshiny koi fish tee, Steve Madden pumps and a wee blue clutch round it all out. Warmn weather please!!!!

Ohhh I love the robin’s egg and turquoise collage you’ve got in the first one… and that Owl hanging…! I’m totally loving finding 3-d things and then painting them all solid… as this reminds me of some tacky kitschy thing from the late 70s that someone found and painted solid robin’s egg blue. (Even if it was just manufactured to give off that feeling and is in fact cast in blue plastic from the get-go!)
I’ve been missing decorating a house / having a place of my own. Matt has his own place and I help with whatever ideas he has for things– he’s been totally overhauling quite a mess of a place, slowly but surely– but I won’t impose as far as how I’d decorate things if it were my own place.
Oh, le sigh. You have the winter blahs and I have no excuse, being in a permanent state of spring/summer.

I love the painted look too! Those plaques you did turned out awesome. Keep an eye out of cast iron figurines like doorstops too. My dad has found dogs and horses and cats and birds. Enamel spray paint takes care of them.
Hahah yeah, can’t really take over his place. I was nervous to even leave a toothbrush.
Yeah, the winter blahs are killing me! You know how it was in RVA… cold weather makes having adventures totally miserable and I’m sick of being cooped up and the idea of a bar is suffocating too. I need a good trip to Hollywood Cemetary!
