Hello! Well, it's been a while and a lot has happened! First of all a grandson was born back in May and I have been traveling to visit both grand kiddos ever since they were born!! It is a 750 mile round trip and worth every mile. If you are in that spot between empty …
I spy a fiddle leaf fig tree. Everywhere. If you haven't noticed them yet, then you're a little late to the party. But that's okay, I live in Montana and everyone's late to the design/trend party here. Not everyone, but you get the gist. This is the fiddle leaf fig tree, and not only does …
Hello friends! We are deep into winter. Snow. Ice. Cold temps. I have learned to embrace winter, well in January anyways, March and April, not so much. We started out the new year making a harrowing 350 mile drive on snow packed icy roads to meet our precious new granddaughter! Words truly cannot express the …
Linen. Belgian linen. Once you get those two words in your head it's hard to think of anything else. With my heart set on a Belgian linen silpcovered sofa nothing else would do. Now, normally I am an implusive shopper. And tactile. I want to touch it, feel it and hold it up to …

Hello freinds. With fall in full swing I tend to enjoy dark and dusky interiors, and since my house is mostly white I am enjoying via pinterest! I don't know about every one else, but I like a variety of styles. More specifically I like elements of styles. So today I am crushing on these... …
Whether they are ‘sheds” big game animals drop every year or “fake” ones on the market today, you can still find this design element today!
Antlers.
I will be the first to admit that I didn’t exactly, how do you say, “like” them for a very long time.

Now, I have always loved objects of nature. Bird nests, pine cones, driftwood, lichen covered rocks and twigs, and more recently sea shells and coral.
But antlers?
These have always represented big game hunting to me. And I am surrounded by big game hunting territory! People travel from all over the world for the opportunity to hunt elk, mule deer, moose, etc. in what seems like my backyard.
