Better Than A Magazine

Walking into the sea captains home.

He displays treasures from other continents he has visited in his travels.  

His home is very personal. A reflection of his self.

After rough seas he likes the calmness of his space.

Every detail tells his stories.

I love seeing my customers homes and the way they translate their character onto their home. As though they give themselves to the walls and furnishings.

Christmas Afternoon Walk In The Woods

Found a hunter's site.

Huge nest where the Hawks live.

Around the corner was the Nome.

The nest of a Chipping Sparrow.

Working On An Interior Color Scheme For Next Season

I am leaning toward this blue

with this rich green

and pure white for the inside of the store. I always try and change the palette of the store before I go on my buying trip.

Green Screen Doors

The green leather sofa appeals to me, as a matter of fact, so does the fireplace and green screen doors. Thanks, Shelter, for posting.
