Accessory Love

I recieved my new Ballard Designs catalog in the mail today and it is so much better than ever- even kind of Resoration-y! Here are some pieces I adore.  Suzanne Kasler is giving this brand some great updates.  Weathered gray and eco- green....

The Durham collection- with planked wood tops and an aged steel finish

cool right?

Storage bench with burlap seats- numbered from 1-99!

Bookplate botainals

I love succulents- this is a great display idea

Brimfield Days

A beautiful day spent at the Brimfield Fair today.  I  barely scratched the surface- definitely could go back for more!  Between the junk and over-priced- found lots of interesting pieces and inspiration...

I have this vendor's contact info- I am giving him a call! Love these reclaimed barn pieces!

Love the rusty fish!

This is now residing with me! Think I will use to store blankets!
Brimfield, see you in September!

Pine Straw, Wellesley, MA

Great shop discovery in Wellesley, MA today.  A little bit Anthropologie, a little French Country, owner Tracy Cranley has impeccable taste! Her 6 month old shop has everything you need for gift giving, gardening, entertaining, etc.  She also focuses on organic and sustainable materials, amazing style and great price points.  A welcome addition to Metro West!

Hollywood Glamour

This months' Elle Decor features this lovely home full of old world Hollywood style.   

The home owned by the creator of Will & Grace updates a 1930s Tudor house in Beverly Hills for his family, mixing eclectic antiques, contemporary ease, and a dash of West Coast glamour
