This week’s Friday Find is a little late – for a good reason. I’m at IDS ‘11!!! Meeting some really cool people!! But more on that later….
The pendants are part of the Sibling Revelry booth at IDS 11. They are in the Sarah Richardson and Theo Richardson rooms and were designed by Theo’s NYC based company Rich, Brilliant, Willing.
Aren’t they cool?
Stay tuned for more from IDS ‘11!
The snow is blowing, the temperatures are low and I’m f-f-f-freezing.
So what better subject to think, dream and write about … yep … garden stools.
I love my garden. And I love accessorizing my garden.
You know, that little pop of colour peeking out from between plants.
But garden stools are popping up everywhere these days.
The reason is their versatility. And I love them for that!
Check out these great rooms that incorporate garden stools:
Sources: My apologies, these have been in my inspiration file for quite a while, so I’m unsure of the sources.
Ahhhh, now I’m feeling a little bit warmer (and really looking forward to summer to boot)! Hope you are too!
Have a great week everyone!
I found this little gem in the “Best for the Bath” feature of February’s House Beautiful. It’s a peanut shaped teak bathtub from the Purify Collection at Gardenside. Read about it and it's creator here.
Isn’t it gorgeous???
The February issue of Country Living arrived today and right there on the front cover was my dream. I was so distracted that I may have missed something important that hubby was saying to me. When I finally did look up from the magazine, dinner decisions had already been made :o) !!
What, you ask, could have consumed me so. Well, I’ll tell you. In fact I’ll do better than that, I’ll show you!
Built in shelving and cabinetry!
I’ve had a love affair with built ins for years. Not only do they give you the ability to display your collections, photos and books, they also provide much needed storage. And, probably most important, they provide architectural detail to the space.
I would have built ins in every single room of my house if I had my way. And here’s why …
So, I’ve been researching … and here’s what I’ve found so far …
A perfect little spot to relax and peruse your collection …
I absolutely love the blue pitchers – and isn’t the fabric on that chair perfect!
Not sure if I’d ever need two washing machines, but I love the clean, crisp, organized feel of this laundry room!
Built in seating is also something I’d love to incorporate into my dining room!
This unit incorporates media storage and display space, a great combination! And I love the contrasting dark walls.
And I’ve always had a thing for window seats!
If you’ve got built ins, or great sources for built ins, please share!

First, let me wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2011 be a year full of health, happiness and prosperity!
Secondly, I apologize for missing Friday Find last week (Dec 31). Hubby and I were celebrating with dear friends on our annual winter trip to Mexico. This is the first time we’ve been for New Years and I would recommend it to anyone. There is nothing like champagne and fireworks on the beach!
Now, let’s get back on track with the first Friday Find of 2011…
I love a lot of things about this space. The pops of green, the form of the chairs, the wall of windows in the back, but I have to say the painted floor really caught my eye!
