A PEEK AT MY BOOKSHELVES IN DAPPLED SUNSHINE

I quickly snapped some snippets of my bookshelves as the sunshine swept across them.  They’re filled with vintage books with marbleized covers and wavy pages.  Architectural fragments are bookends. A bowl holds glass beads and an old oil painting introduces something different.  Large wooden candlesticks repeat on the shelves.  An old French clock face is an interesting back drop for art on an easel.

How do you style your bookshelves?

CHRISTMAS INDOORS AND OUT

No Christmas tree again this year.  Instead, I’ve just added touches of Christmas both indoors and out.  For long-time followers, you know that every year I did a tree with a different theme.  It was so much fun and I loved every one of the trees.  I still  have the ornaments from each one stored away in case I ever want to repeat.  If you'd like to see the trees over the years, just click on the highlighted link at the end of this post.

Let’s start indoors with the foyer.
