gray rules...
Gray gets its day in Benjamin Moore's Color Chats, an on-line guide to color and design! My sincere thanks to Jane Dagmi for featuring a perfect gray in Decorating with Gray Soothes the Soul No Matter the Style. Check out this terrific site for insider information on how designers, stylists, and bloggers all go gray...
almost there...
good housekeeping
If everything goes well and I hold my mouth just right, we should receive our marble for the master bath vanity top at the end of this week. It's been a long haul. I'm very happy so far. Hope to have some pictures up soon...

One, you guys are the best. Thanks a million for your advice about my old pine doors. Most of you said keep the paint on, which was my first thought, too. But a good many of you said the paint definitely needs to go. I think the best suggestions were to hang the doors, live with them awhile, then decide. Your comments brought home the fact that the paint remnants look more rustic and cottage-y while the stripped doors look more refined, sophisticated. Thanks for helping me crystalize that thought.
And two, Nate Berkus knows what's up. Did you see his goodies on the One Kings Lane Sale Saturday?
Look at this baby:
Vintage stainless steel cabinet

Here's the one I bought a few months ago for $300
ok, ok, mine's missing a knob.
guess that makes it worth only $3,000

my home away from home
It had been too long since I visited my good friends Bill and Barry at Antiques on Augusta in Greenville, SC. Those guys are amazing. I took a couple of quick shots recently of one special little corner. Bill and Barry commissioned a local artist to paint a few large canvases for a design project last year. Now they are in the shop on display. Awesome dark and moody colors in a scene depicting the low country south; and so dramatic looking in this corner. And that linen-covered custom headboard with oversized nail heads?
I may move in.
