Vintage Little Creamers

We were so eager to receive these little creamers - and they look even better up close! Our dearest friend from Vintage Picnic sent these two darlings over. They are one of a kind like all the vintage finds in her shop! The darker one has a jolie little mushroom relief that makes it look so cute. The earthy flower bouquet on the cream-colored has been putting a smile on our faces since we received it.

Origami Inspired Wall Vase

I'm not sure where you can actually get one but I simply love and had to share this Origami inspired Wood Vase I found on anczelowitz's Flickr photostream. The folds are perfect, with or without flowers and I would also see it in other vibrant color combos.

Berto Chest with Drawers

I came across this luxurious Art Deco Chest over at Atelier in NY and had to share. The Berto Chest is absolutely stunning completely finished in gold leaf. It has curves in the perfect places. I love they way they paired it with that hot pink plaster wall. I can't help but picture it in a modern space demanding attention.

Dinesen - The Perfect FloorFeb. 20 2009 12:30am | By Asia - Makes Me Smile | Permalink

Dinesen ? The Perfect Floor

The first time I saw a Dinesen Floor, I was amazed. I thought - 'What kind of wood floor is that? It's spectacular!' The long planks, the smooth finish, the color is magical. The way it boldly completes a room. Dinesen uses century old Douglas and Oak wood from Europe. You want to keep the floors cleared, the furniture to a bare minimum and enjoy the beautiful ancient underfoot.

A Fresh & Lovely Morning

I woke up to a fresh and lovely morning. We recently celebrated my B-Day - the small delicate flowers and lovely card from my little brother were begging for a pose. The lighting was cozy and just right. It made my day!

Vintage Vase Lamp

I like vintage-anything-turned-modern. I came across this one of a kind Vintage Vase Lamp from Q Collection and admired it for some time. The form is sexy slender, the shade is sophisticatedly simple and the silk gold cord running through the body adds just the right touch of luxury. Stunning!
