Pins of the Week!

Pinterest is quickly becoming the favorite site for collecting and storing images and ideas.  I've pinned so much that inspires me this week, that I thought I'd share some of my favorite pins with you.

There were plenty of inspiring rooms this week.

Table vignettes....

M. elle Design

Loving this yellow-drenched space (not sure about the foot pillow or the funky art!)

desire to inspire blog

I always love a creatively painted piece of furnitue.  Isn't this fun?

Sheridan French

I wish I could tell you where this lovely breakfast area originated (one of the less than perfect things about Pinterest), but I liked it so I pinned it.  Isn't it a pleasant place to have a meal?  (Thanks JL for letting me know that this photo is from Pottery Barn)

I couldn't leave out some amazing artwork.  This just took my breath away!

Emily Tom

This pendant shade from Shades of Light is made from a Fabricut fabric that I've chosen to use in my own Master Bedroom.  I love the colors and the whimsey and it's silk....just lovely!

Isn't this a beautiful color palette...and that it's in soft pretty yarn?.....I'd like to cuddle up with it! (or knit!)

I have grandsons, and this typography just made me laugh!

I think these speak for themselves.  I swear I'm not that bad!!

I pinned way too many dessert recipes this week.....way to many!!  But doesn't this look yummy!! Check out my "Decadence" board for many more!

 "On a stick!" Cookbook by Matt Armendariz

I'd love to have you follow me on Pinterest.  There's so much inspiration there, and I pin alot!

I need your help.


I have a great coffee table....black and silver base and a cherry tray top.  I love the lines on the base...a little curvy yet simple and sleek.

What's that huge, black blob on the floor, you ask?

That's Henry, Big Dog, totally passed out from his busy day at Doggie Day Camp!

(He goes every Friday and sleeps most of the weekend so I can get things done!)

I couldn't get him to move to take the pic!

Sleepy dog!

Anyway, here's where I need your help.  I want to do something interesting on my coffee table.  I need ideas!!  What kind of vignette would you create?  Why is it so easy to design beautiful spaces for other people and so hard to do it for myself??


I need a little collaboration here!


Although I'm sure the remotes will spend some time here I don't want them to be a focal point like they are in this pic.

I see alot of books on coffee tables...stacked, open, color coordinated.

Christopher and Suzanne Sharp's London flat

A little sensory overload for me in this one!

Pinterest - Jane Gallant 

Candles and lanterns are always good.

Markham Roberts

Mi Casa Reformadas

I'll just take the view in this one!

I see a lot of flowers on coffee tables.

Christina Rottman in House Beautiful

but maybe this is a little too much floral going on.

I don't have a huge goddess head to use, so don't suggest that!

I do like the horn on this one.

Objects d' art  and shells are a popular choice.

Jeffers Design Group

John Derian

Martha Stewart

Way too much to dust here....remember, black dog hair everywhere.

Love the pop of color in the orange boxes, but a little too much stuff for me. 

Decorator to the stars, Ozzy and Sharon Osborne (and many others !), Martyn Lawrence Bullard, used all of these elements on an entry table in the Osborne's home.

I guess "The Hand" in black is an homage to Ozzy....I'll pass.

A tray table like mine is a bit more of a challenge because flat objects don't work well, so we have to think vertically, but not too high because we don't want to obscure TV viewing!

Apartment Therapy

....and I think I'll keep my shoes in the closet!


I like the clean lines of this vignette....and the crown doesn't hurt either.

So, any unique ideas out there in decorator land for this designer who's run out of ideas to decorate her own home???
