Spring Flowers 2010.

This past week has been amazing! My mom says this is the first time March went out as a lamb since 84. Well I cant seem to remember but it is glorious outside. I'm also LOVING Martha on Hallmark! Everyday is like Christmas with all these beauties being re-aired!


Everyday there is more flowers! Here is a little assortment in a blue ware bowl. It smells lovely!

Spring Cleaning..

My new Faux Bois Ottoman!

Technology has become so sleek. Cleaning all of this stuff takes a while.

Cords

Tons of stuff!

Consoles.

I try to keep it all organized!
Its the Martha Stewart of it all.

Its everywhere!

Some of my Easter decorations this year.

Spring Cleaning..

Snow day..

My town has been shut down today. Snow covers everything!

The little Guinea Fowl are trying to stay warm.
They have a heated roost but choose the snow.

Another Guinea bracing against the wind.

Unfortunately it wasn't like this at Christmas time.

Channeling Martha Part 2.

Everything I do has some relation to Martha Stewart.
Its like six degrees of separation. I think the only thing not is maybe video games.

I found this mirror. I was trying to emulate Martha's acanthus leaf mirror that hung in the formal dining room at Turkey Hill. MS partnership with Bernhardt offered a almost exact replica of the original. It was more of a white wash finish than luster.

This is my homage to her over mantle looking glass.

And another.

I put stacks of books everywhere. I'm running out of room. This marble table top has deep veining similar to her brown room dining table.

I have a center table like Martha's Skylands main hall table. However I noticed that in the September premier its no longer the large round table but a long faux bois table.
I also have my faux bois cachepots.

Valentines Decoration.

Cherubs and copper luster.

Paper heart doilies.

Finally can get to that pumpkin. It had been buried under piles of snow. It also looks like two clay pots were left out. Pulverized by the winter wetness.

Valentine wreath. Handmade of course.

I love this little container. Usually you can find it missing all its red hearts. Probably due to the dishwasher.

Room Shots 01/12

Two old but new to me Paris porcelain compotes.

My game fowl set up high while I paint the cabinet. The drab color didn't fare well.
Back to the paint store for a solution.

The most used area of my room.

Pretty green damask drapes from the Cotswold's.
