These two prints of vintage French textiles (titled Pignier Carousselle 1 & 2) are brilliant use of color and pattern, and the palette of greens–from those chinoiserie throw pillows to that lime ottoman–is a perfect (nearly botanical) setting for it.

Wish I had a shop in Florida.

 Having a shop in Northern Michigan is rather restricting as far as light, airy, decorating year round. Customers tend to treat their cottages more informal almost rustic in spirit of water, pinetrees and sandy feet. If the homes are used year round then they tend to lean on the lodge side of cozy and comfortable. 

Fresh, full of light, blue and white.
Soft edges and lines.
A little more "picked up", not as casual.
Let's wear a skirt to work attitude.

I find myself wearing jeans to work, more often than not, but the blue jean style lends itself to the area.
 Lady like confines of decorating, minding your manners, enjoying the pretty surroundings of your home reminds me of Florida style.

A thought for this morning!
