love an unmatched mirror pair...

original source unknown


Although it didn't work out in my bathroom re-do, I love the look of two different mirrors in a bath space. 

black and white and sepia, too


I'm such a nut for antique etchings and engravings. Love these with their over-the-top gold frames. And the addition of the more modern white console piece is perfection....

ohhh, those curtains...



I thought this space was beautiful when I found it on pinterest. I really like the way the room is framed by the curtains. This makes me more determined than ever to have black and white patterned curtains one day. Remember when I became obsessed over those almost a year ago? These are lovely but I think I prefer a more graphic design....

Here's hoping the bunny leaves you lots of goodies.

As for me, I'm already wearing countless chocolate cadbury eggs on my hips.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday weekend!

inspiration to reality; my master bath

design red studios

Remember when I posted this image as inspiration for the feel that I wanted in my new master bath? It took me a while to find a french-style piece in the right size and color....  


my master bath vanity and side cabinets

...but it finally came together. This is the first time I've had a chance to compare the finish to the inspiration. Gotta say - I'm pretty happy. My cabinet maker built two tall side pieces that are wonderful for storage. I'd highly recommend going this route. My bathroom space is small and it's such a bonus.

I hope to have more photo details up soon... 

is it possible to fall in love with a lamp?

It always happens when you're not looking. I was helping a friend search for a table lamp. We had our minds set on a traditional gourd-shaped based.

And there it was.
Kind of traditional; kinda fresh. And in a beautiful metallic finish.
This one will come home with me.

did I mention I like mirrors...?



have a great weekend! donna

fresh


Looks simple. But it's not.
Combining old/vintage and new/fresh. It's what I try hardest to do - I love the look. But sometimes it just escapes me.

I thought this fresh, over-dyed rug was perfect with the gray antique piece. So simple.
Have you had any luck with mixing old and new in your home?

how pinteresting

It's spring.  I should be loving light and airy interiors. Instead, I'm all over these dark and moody rooms today. What gives?





karina gentinetta's vintage interiors




I was so happy to see the home of antiques dealer and blogger Karina Gentinetta featured in this month's Southen Living Magazine. Do you remember when I featured her home here last July? I think it looks refreshingly undecorated

Check it out.

And have a great weekend...donna
