DECORATOR TO THE STARS

BEDROOMS

2012-01-23T19:48:00.000-05:00

THESE ARE PICTURES I HAVE SAVED OVER THE YEARS IN A SCRAPBOOK, IT WAS GETTING A BIT LARGE SO I SCANNED THEM IN TO CLEAR THE CLUTTER :)

BEAMS GIVE A ROOM AN EARTHY FEEL &TAKE YOU AWAY TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

THIS QUICK LITTLE CANOPY CAN BE HAD WITH A BASKETBALL HOOP, SO EASY IT'S A SIN :)

.....FOR THE JUNGLE LOOK, HANG BUNCHES OF HERBS, SWEET ANNIE AROUND THE BED, BUT HIGH ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE KIDS &PETS

THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE VINTAGE TREASURE ROOM. HOW NICE TO WAKE UP SURROUNDED BY THE THINGS YOU LOVE. BARKCLOTH SPREAD, SUITCASES, SYRUP BUCKETS, VINTAGE ROSE PICS, TOLE TRAYS, HATBOXES & A BIT OF WIRE.

ANOTHER WHITE ROOM. I LOVE THE TIN CEILING BLANKET CHEST AT THE FOOT OF THE BED, CHIPPY WHITE SHUTTERS & SINGLE COLUMN

GREAT SLEIGH BED.....SIMPLE

ANOTHER 4 POSTER UNCLUTTERED WITH A TIN CEILING STATEMENT

WHITE LINEN BEDROOM WITH DIFFERENT TEXTURES OF MATERIALS

GREAT DARK BED CONTRASTING WITH THE WHITE COVERS

FRENCH TOILE ON A WHITEWASH BED

LITTLE BED ALCOVE, DRAW THE DRAPES & HIDE AWAY FOR THE DAY.....OR WEEKEND

WHO WANTS A ROOM WITH A VIEW OVERLOOKING THE SEINE?? I DO, IDO :)

WOULDN'T YOU FEEL LIKE ROYALTY IN THIS BED?

THIS GREAT BEDROOM WITH THE RUFFLED BEDSPREAD IS SO F*R*E*N*C*H, LUV THE MANTEL HEADBOARD. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR DECORATING FEATURE (MANTEL) FOR ME TO DO IN CLIENTS HOMES, EACHMANTEL IS UNIQUE & GIVES A DIFFERENT EFFECT TO THE ROOM.

THIS BEDROOM REALLY SUITS THE TWO GIRLS THAT RESIDE IN IT. A LITTLE BIT OF VINTAGE ARCHITECTURE ADDS CHARM.

WHO SAYS A BUNKBED HAS TO LOOK SOOOOOOO 60'S? NOT ME. I SLEPT IN ONE AS A CHILD & HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING A FORT & MY OWN LITTLE GETAWAY. EVEN THOUGH I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.....I ONLY FELL OUT ONCE LOL THAT EXPLAINS IT!
THE VINTAGE LAMO IS SO SWEET (MAKE SURE WHEN USING OLD LAMPS, TO CHECK OUT THE WIRING). POINT IN CASE. ON MY "BUNK" I HAD AN OLD LIGHT THAT IF I JUMPED ON THE BED IT WOULD BLINK.......I WAS ALWAYS SCARED BECAUSE I THOUGH THE HOUSE WAS HAUNTED.......I STIL IT WAS :)

THE CHECKS ON THE SIDES OF THIS BED MAKES IT SO COZY & CHARMING. I ONCE MADE MY OWN CANOPY BED, VERY EASY WITH 2 X2 'S & A CROCHET TABLECLOTH AS SEEN IN BOTTOM PIC.

NOTHING SAYD FRENCH LIKE OPEN WORK

VINTAGE ARCHITECTURAL PIECES CAN REALLY PUT A SPARK IN A ROOM WITH NOTHING ELSE GOING FOR IT, A POP THAT SAYS IT ALL. NOTHING MORE IS NEEDED, THIS SAYS IT ALL.

THIS BILLOWY WHITE ROOM IS SUCH A "GETAWAY FROM IT ALL" LOCK THE DOOR & READ.

WHAT I'M GETTING READY TO DO

2012-01-23T18:43:00.000-05:00

I'M WAITING FOR THE PERFECT SNOW, WHEN I'M REALLY SNOWED IN & CAN'T GET OUT. THEN I'M GOING TO MAKE MY WAY TO MY STUDIO, TURN ON THE FIREPLACE & REDO

WHAT WILL I DO?? STAY TUNED :)

BABY IT'S WARM OUTSIDE.........

2012-01-23T18:20:00.000-05:00

EVEN THOUGH IT'S WARM OUTSIDE, IT'S NEVER TOO WARM FOR :

GIONI’S GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE OR GEE CHEESY :)

THIS MAKES A REGULAR GRILLED CHEESE LOOK WIMPY. THIS IS A FILLING SANDWICH.

Use whole wheat, white, rye or any kind of bread you like :)

In a bowl add 3 eggs ¼ cup of milk salt & pepper whisk it

Use any kind of thinly sliced cheese you like or shredded, you can even mix cheeses

Put between bread smoosh together, dip in egg mixture, roll in bread crumbs, dip in egg again, then bread crumbs again.( you can do it only once if you wish).

Fry in a skillet with hot oil. SERVE WITH CHIPS & PICKLES & ENJOY

LUCKY FOR ME, THIS TIME I HAD MY CAMERA & SOMEONE GRABBED MY CAMERA & SAID GET OVER THERE, I'LL TAKE YOUR PICTURE ( I WAS BARELY OUT THE DOOR). WE CHATTED FOR AWHILE.

A MERRY JUNKIN’ CHRISTMAS

‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE

THE JUNK WAS ALL PILED

EVEN MY MOUSE

THE FRENCH STOCKINGS WERE HUNG BY THE CHEMINÉE WITH CARE
IN HOPES THAT BÉBÉ de SANTA SOON WOULD BE THERE
AND I WAS NESTLED ALL SNUG IN MY BED
WITH THOUGHTS OF “JUNK” DANCING IN MY HEAD
THE CATS WERE CURLED ALL UP IN A BALL
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
I HEARD NOISE IN THE HALL
I SPIED SANTA WITH BAGS OF WIRE & RUST
AND SOMETHING FRENCH WITH WHITE & CRUST
COULD IT BE A SANTO, OR EVEN A “TOWER”
OR A LOVELY BUNCH
OF LAVENDER FLOWERS.
OR MAYBE A TICKET TO PROVENCE OR FRANCE
I’D SNEAK A PEEK, TO TAKE THAT CHANCE!
WHEN WHAT TO MY WANDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR
BUT A CUTE LITTLE FRENCHMAN
WITH PERFECTLY SHAPED EARS

AND FOLLOWING BEHIND HIM WERE EIGHT REINDEER
WHEN HE LOUDLY EXCLAIMED
GET THE H*** OUTTA HERE!
NOW DASHER , NOW DANSEUR, NOW PRANCER AND RENARDE
ON COMETE, ON CUPIDON, ON DONNER AND BLITZEN

FROM THE EAVES OF THE ATTIC
TO THE BASEMENT STAIR
BRING ME SOME “JUNK”
THAT I CAN SHARE.
HE RAN TO HIS TRAINEAU &
AND I HEARD HIM EXCLAIM
AS HE DROVE OUT OF SIGHT
HAPPY JUNKIN’ TO ALL AND
TO ALL A” GOOD (JUNK) NIGHT”

TOMORROW I'M HEADING TO UPSTATE NEW YORK FOR A BUYING TRIP HOPING TO FIND SOME "NATURAL PATINA" :) OTHERWISE AS YOU KNOW, I'LL PAINT IT WHITE, SO HERE IS AN ARTICLE I WROTE ABOUT FINDING THAT FAVORITE PATINA.

NATURAL PATINA IS A GREAT LOOK TO GO WITH IF IT HAS THAT TIMEWORN LOOK; IF NOT I PAINT IT WHITE & BEAT IT UP & CALL IT MY OWN PATINA.NATURAL IS NOT ONLY PAINT BUT NATURE ITSELF:

FERN FRONDS IN A MERCURY GLASS VASE

MOSS IN AN OLD URN

A WEATHERED DINING TABLE WITH THE LEGS CUT DOWN

NATURAL TABLE COVERS SUCH AS LINEN OR BURLAP GIVES AN EARTHY LOOK TO A WELL PATINATED TABLE

OLD PORCH POSTS FOR FERN STANDS OR JUST AS AN OBJECT D’ART

VINTAGE APOTHECARY JARS OR JARS/BOTTLES WITH CHARACTER….ADD SHELLS, OLD BUTTONS,DICE, BEACH GLASS,CANDY, ACORNS, NUTS, JEWELRY PIECES….ANYTHING THAT STARTS A CONVERSATION & REMINDS YOU OF SPECIAL EVENTS.

LENGTHS OF VINTAGE ARCHTECTURE WITH NATURAL PAINT OR PATINA MAKES A GREAT SHELF FOR THE KITCHEN OR ABOVE DOORS & WINDOWS

FOR A BEACHY/ COTTAGE LOOK A MANTEL FOR A HEADBOARD
OTHER THAN ORIGINAL PATINA & WHITE PAINT, THE SOFT COLOR OF GRAY GIVES YOU THE FEELING OF A SUBTLE WASH ON OBJECTS; A CLEAN, FRESH LOOK

THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING YOUR OWN GETAWAY IN THE YARD. YOU CAN TAKE A STOCK BUILDING & “PIMP” IT OUT OR START FROM SCRATCH & CREATE
A CUSTOM LOOK. I HAVE BUILT MANY BUILDINGS & MY STUDIO, WHICH I USE FOR WRITING & SEWING IS NO ONE’S BUT MINE WITH SAVED UP ARHITECTURAL ELEMENTS & WINDOWS, IT LOOKS ONE OF A KIND & WAS SO EASY TO BUILD.

AN OLD FARM TABLE THAT YOU DON’T MIND GETTING RUINED IN TIME CAN BE KEPT OUTSIDE UNDER A TREE & HANG A CHANDELIER FROM THE TREE, FOR INSTANT PANACHE & A QUICK SPOT TO ENTERTAIN. I HAVE A FRENCH WINE TASTING TABLE UNDER ONE OF MY ARBORS, I KNOW SHAME ON ME, BUT IT'S TOO BIG FOR ANYWHERE ELSE & I’M NOT READY TO SELL IT.
