A Swedish bench can take on many forms, but one thing is for certain they are quite beautiful. Of course functionality is always key for me too so maybe that is why they appeal to me so. Beautifu...

I adore a venetian mirror. I am sure it has something to do with the way it sparkles. She instantly adds a dose of pretty wherever she is hung. I like how each venetian mirror below is hung in a ...

There is chest of drawers that can fit into anyone's home decor. Maybe that is one reason why I gravitate towards them so. They are quite useful and can be used in any room. An entryway, bedroom,...

I love the look of plates hanging on a wall. If the plates happen to be transferware then the look is taken to a whole other level for me. {via House Beautiful photo: Luke White} The tra...

The French Market is having a Dock Sale! I got a small preview and thought I would share a few photos. All pieces in the sale are reduced dramatically. If I can find a spot for the burlap pendan...

I adore this image from Tommy Smythe's bedroom. It is quite masculine, but I think that is what draws me into this particular image. The dark mahogany makes this mantel  quite the statement pie...

A couple of weeks ago I came across a post that A perfect Gray did on antique engravings. I was in awe of the beauty of the pieces. A few days later I was in the French Market and noticed a few...

I love the idea of using a screen as a piece of wall art. The varying shades of red in this piece it quite beautiful. I am not a person that gravitates towards red normally, but this one is rath...

Every home has a mirror. They make for quite a statement piece when a piece of art just won't do. The mirror that I am drawn to most as of late is a gilded mirror. They can be rather simple or or...

I kind of have a thing for French barometers. Love how utilitarian they once were, but at the same time were made with such beauty and elegance. These two caught my eye at the French Market ... ...

I rather love this piece from the French Market. It has the softest touch of pink. It doesn't scream girlie though. I could see it almost any room... Wouldn't it be lovely used in a somewhat...

Green is my favorite color. Well, as long as you don't include white and griege into the equation. I love to spend time outdoors gardening so maybe my green obsession stems from there. One of my ...

Yesterday, Jenny from The Little Green Notebook did a post on colored matting. I can honestly say I haven't thought of doing that in years. My mother on the other hand has a beautiful array of a...
