Onions and Branches

These cute little round fluffy purple things are an Allium 

These were planted as bulbs about 5 months ago and have now have started to appear everywhere

I completely forgot where they got stashed in the yard 

during bulb planting season

But surprise.....they are really tall and peek out over the tops of the other shrubs in the beds

I love how they look paired with the branches of the 

chartreuse smoke tree branches

Since this house does not really have an entrance that makes a statement....you literally walk right in to the living room from the front door

I like to always have something from the garden displayed 

on this wonderful old scrubbed pine table

The branches are really unique 

and last a long time in a vase

I like the simplicity of the green vase too

Even with out a formal entry...it's not all that hard to find a little spot that shows off unique things that you may be collecting

Where is your special spot?

I would love to hear your ideas.....

~Cheers~

Designers that Inspire: Briggs Edward Solomon

I am seriously in big time love 

with the design work of 

Briggs Edward Solomon

Clean, uncluttered and beautifully curated

 He mixes vintage and modern 

making every piece of furniture, art work and finishes stand out

 His interesting use of light fixtures is wonderful and fun 

As spare as these rooms are they really seem comfortable to me

 The way he grouped the items on the wall  below is really unique...don't you think? 

White, grey black and neutrals

 are repeated in most of his projects

I think I went through his portfolio for about an hour and just couldn't stop looking at the homes he has designed

 If you would like to see more, grab a glass of wine and 

 find it here

Have a happy weekend
