An Italian Villa

Architects, Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering, renovated this eighteenth century villa in Positano, Italy. I find it mesmerizing. I adore the low magenta striped seating.

In first photograph, see the top right insert of the second story room ? The third photograph is a view from the opposite end of this room. Just too intriguing!!

Jen Swift

Fabulously innovative artist Jen Swift of birdfromawire creates both decorative and functional sculptural works. She calls her line 'adorable little wire and fabric sculptures'. They are adorable on the one hand for their sweet leaf petals and bird silhouettes, but they are also nothing less than SUPERBLY ELEGANT statements for your home...with adorable elements WIRED in!

The wire bird table lamp is special ordered. The bird wall sculpture is available.

Jen Swift has a background in floral design and a love for mixed media. Combined with her imagination she creates magic...every twist and turn.

Honest...I didn't choose this artist because her name is so beautifully IRISH....I am truly just shopping around for chairs and have posted Mary Lynn O'Shea before. Wanted to see if there was anything new.

Takes me back in Time

Remember the high back wicker chairs in the 1960's? Pier I used to sell them. My aunt had one on the porch of her beach home. My cousins and I would dress up like hula girls (we were maybe 6 or 7) and my brother would just try to look cool with his shades seated upon this king's throne. All of us surrounding him. This was back in the late 60's.

Well, they have come a long way! More beautiful than ever, more solidly built....and look at the woven flower medallions. Impossibly cool!

And, as seen in other photo...there is a short one for us minions.

Smooth Lines with a wide brush stroke of LIME

This is FRESH!!

You can capture the lightness, even if your bathroom doesn't have windows or big floor space. The key is all white with a flash of color...maybe on one wall....or pick up some bead board and create your own wainscoting..painting either the top OR the bead board in lime......or any color that you adore!

Light colored flooring helps. If you are money conscious, inexpensive linoleum has come a long way!
