Scenes from the weekend

One scene, actually. This single project consumed a significant portion of my weekend. We purchased the old decorative wood panel in Round Top, and more recently, a handful of assorted batik fabrics. Stretched the fabric over frames, then measured, marked and hung. Despite the rustic simplicity of pattern and hue, the large grouping provides a modern edge to our decor.

One more thing crossed off the list.

Scenes from the weekend

household projects, wedding preparation, garden projects. where did the weekend go?

Upcycling

New window treatments in Cristy's office to replace the tired draperies there previously. A clean look with the roman shades and an attempt at creating a transom look with the upcycled cabinet doors.

Smitten

can't help myself. Totally can't afford it, but a girl can daydream.

Layering

I have always adored accessories but have never attempted layering until recently. Today I'm mixing a beaded hemp bracelet with a gold bangle and a gold-tone link bracelet. Around my neck, two strands of beads, a pendant and a delicate little gold necklace. Maybe not as stylized as this fabulous collection featured in Redbook, but equally as fun for me.

Mother's Day options

It seems like every year I get my mom a purse for Mother's Day or her birthday, which falls a mere two weeks later. But with sweet pocketbooks like this one from Claire Sanchez, who can resist?

Scenes from the weekend

Gracyn entertains us with her imitation of a circus dog. Sunday brings a light thunderstorm, and I add a touch of nostalgia to the thrift-store dome by tying my great-grandmother's heart pendant to the handle.
