Gone to the Animals

Anyone care to join me for a leisurely chat in this room?  This sofa is so inviting. 

Doesn't this sitting area look so comfortable and inviting?  Wouldn't you know it--it is in the home of Oprah's hair stylist--and now designer/decorator.

The entire grouping is put together quite well, in my opinion.  Although, I like things to be a bit calmer--no wallpaper or fringed sofa apron.  I do think that overall, for a new installation, the room appears "collected" as if it had been assembled over time.  

Is this a room for you?  Do you want or have a "gallery" wall--or is that too busy for your taste?

Tell me you thoughts.

Where's the Kitchen?

I really like this--a disappearing kitchen! 
 
Have you located all of the appliances?

Could you live with a kitchen like this?

Ahhh, Memories!



I can't get this out of my mind today.  I'm ready to go back to Blackberry Farm!



Who's going with me to Walland, Tennessee?  I'm serious.

Illumination Indecision


#1
Always classic

I've been given too many good choices!  It's a good problem.


#2
Warm and bright

What to do?  
Circa Lighting, don't you think you should just send me all of them?  I'd be really grateful.  

#3
Cool simple classic

Circa Lighting was founded in Savannah Georgia.  (Doesn't that mean it has to have timeless goods?)  I've admired their products for a while now.  Isn't it time I made a purchase?

#4
Modern/traditional/indecisive

I am so impressed by the styles that are offered through Circa Lighting.  They have partnered with some of our absolute favorite designers:  Barbara Barry, Thomas O'Brien, Suzanne Kasler, and Michael S. Smith. 

#5
traditional 

So what are you thinking about these lighting options?  
Tell me what you think.  
Do you have a favorite?
