If money grew on trees...I'd flip the built-ins in my den.
My sofa is on the opposite wall and I'd love to have a nook like these.

Give me some dark and moody gray bedrooms and I'll pretend it's not ninety degrees with ninety percent humidity here in good ole SC.

tortoise

original source unknown

I'm crazy for tortoise right about now.
This coffee table top isn't helping any.

One of the last times I was at Scott Antique Market in Atlanta,
I found this vintage tortoise shell cuff.
I wear it almost every day.

Check out these heart-stopping antique tortoise shell pieces...

...a beautiful tea caddy


and a tortoise shell cameo from the 1700's.

(found these on pinterest, of course) 


I'm also crazy for vintage bamboo pieces with that tortoise shell look.

The Glitter Guide

I found this great English coat/umbrella stand at an antiques auction
 several years back. 
The bamboo has that light-and-dark amber tortoise shell look.

And, of course, my bar cart has a little tortoise on it...
