I thought I would post a chair rehab I did using an old chair I bought and painted white (first painted orange, which was hideous and then blue).  I was living in Maine and visited a now-defunct Maine Cottage showroom and bought some fabric I used to cover the seat. It is my favorite rehab as I've painted a lot of furniture in the past. BEFORE:  AFTER: (Images by

It has been so long since I have been an active blogger, so I'd like to aim for one post a week that is vaguely interesting. I have owned about 10 different homes and a lot of my photos are, the real thing, taken way before instant uploads. I wanted to share a couple of before and after photos of the kitchen in one of my previously owned homes.  My former husband and I didn't have a load

I haven't posted in 3 years!! For my first post back: From House Beautiful a few years ago - this home in New Orleans is designed by Hal Williamson; photo: John Kernick This room is so beautiful with the mauve walls and Louis XVI chairs - so charming and comfortable looking.

More retail inspiration from two stores - Jonathan Adler and Anthropologie. Colors and patterns that catch the eye and can easily translate to home design. Nervous or unsure about a color combination? Look to your retail stores in fashion, design, cooking or even stationary to get ideas and confidence about what might work. Jonathan Adler Anthropologie coasters(Photos by me)Be sure to

Nothing but blue tiles...I thought these beautiful blue subway tiles were gorgeous enough to photograph.  Where are they? In a new Starbuck's inside a Target store. Staff were concerned I was taking a picture of their menu.Which would you prefer? Blue or white (or a combo) subway tile?  Would you consider a color rather than the classic white?Photo by me for Monaco Interiors

On a recent visit to Anthropologie, I spied more of my favorite gold and white as well as fur.  The fur is definitely a Scandinavian design influence.  What do you love?Photos by me

I thought I would share a few of my tried and true products I don't like to be without.  You have heard a lot about Argan Oil in the press and there is no better or more pure and authentic than Josie Maran's. Face cream, face oil, body butter, creamy blush, concealer, it's all fabulous. Comfort Zone is an Italian company (I used to sell their products) and lucky for me, one of my very

For all the budget shoppers who love natural texture, a bit of the old west and my favorite trend of the moment, gold, look no further for furniture and objet's de art than Target. Always on trend and so affordable, it is worth visiting one of the newly designed stores. They have vastly improved their home sections into livable vignettes that allow the shopper better visualization for their

I love gold and silver, but I am particularly loving all the gold in design. Are you loving the influence too? Would you add gold to your design scheme? Photo by me

Hello bloggers! I haven't posted since May and it feels like its been that long.  Sort of lost the old mojo if you know what I mean...but in the spirit of Christmas, I think its time to hit the blog again. Are you in the spirit? Have you bought all you need in the way of presents? More shopping to do? Well, I still have some items for sale in my shop, so if you are interested please private

This is a gorgeous little country kitchen -with a farmhouse sink and big faucet (looks like a Rohl), vintage blue chair, classic round rug and pale blue walls.  I love that you can see a glimpse of a bookcase in the foreground as well, in case you want to thumb through a volume while drinking tea. The cabinetry with glass is also a nice touch that doesn't make the kitchen seem too small. &

Happy Memorial Day and I hope you are all enjoying the time off.  I am sick, so I'm spending more time than normal on the computer.  I just wanted to share some pcitures I have taken in the last couple of days. The weather is spectacular here in the New York area and I hope it is wherever you are too. Also, I am offering some new services UNDER $50.00!! See the

Well, my God, its been ages and ages since I've visited my space here.  I started working full time and have been so busy, my little blog has taken a (way) back seat in my life.  I have been blogging for years and its had its ups and downs, so this must be a down phase. I was so committed to it in the beginning, but when it didn't really 'grow' too much, I lost interest. There is so

Finally, I have Instagram and thought I would share some pictures I have been taking today.  I have been really terrible about posting, but, I am working full time now and just don't have the time I used to.  I am 'out of the groove' so to speak. I hope everyone is enjoying spring here in this part of the world, though I know, Down Under its fall. Have a great weekend!

Have a great Easter Sunday!  I thought I would post this fabulous picture from a few years ago...I am loving pink this season in all forms.  Just bought a piece of pink clothing, a vest, and have a lovely pink infinity scarf. It is so indicative of Easter to me...enjoy. ______________________________________________________________________- FROM AUGUST 2011: Wow! A foyer is your

Decorating Your Walls With Prints On Canvas Home decor is one of those projects that never seem to end. Just when we think every aspect is covered, a sense of inconformity arises regarding a special wall or corner. Naked spaces can be covered with paintings, prints on canvas or wall graphics, depending on the available space. While some people proudly display renowned artists’ pieces, there
