Black, brown and greens for the Holidays
a very chic Holiday taboo
That evokes the richness of well worn leather
and memories of gingerbread, hot cocoa and licorice
the crystal will definitely shine a little brighter
with this toasty palette

Classic and warm

“Since everything is in our heads, we better not loose them”
Coco Chanel

Inspiration is the indispensable foundation of
the building of your dreams.

It is immeasurably helpful in both synthesizing your
vision and communicating it to the other members of
your team. besides Pinterest and Houzz, which are both
invaluable assets in chronicling your vision

Luxe Interiors and Design 

A wonderfully inspiring place to archive your inspiration.

Inspired By Owl

Inspired by owl’s house london

Antwerp House in Blue/Grey

John Locke’s model of the human mind suggested that ideas associate withone another and that a string in the mind can be struck by a resonant idea. Therefore, inspiration was a somewhat random but wholly natural association of ideas and sudden unison of thought. Additionally, Lockean psychology suggested that a natural sense or quality of mind allowed persons to see unity in perceptions and to discern differences in groups. This “fancy” and “wit,” as they were later called, were both natural and developed faculties that could account for greater or lesser insight and inspiration in poets and painters.

Whether it be Fancy or Wit
Color schemes were on my list today
thanks Owl for the inspiration!

The Holidays | French Toy Theaters

Just to prove there are World’s Away
and places you never thought you’d find
in a Universe of Year’s,  I thought I’d share
one of my guilty internet pleasures

Somewhere, sometime I chanced upon
Anita Rivera’s site Castles, Crowns and Cottages
She weaves the most evocative melange
of images, words and music as she creates purely
inspirational magic

She and her friends have created for our
holiday pleasure a quintet of tiny performances

Enjoy!

Bringing in the Green

The Skyline Design Group

Number 99

We only half remember that evergreens were once an object of worship.
When nights are long and the land lies sleeping we long have loved
continuing the ancient custom of brightening the house with festive greenery.

It makes no matter, fine needled or broad leaved, the season transforms these
hardy plants into something wonderful.

A living proof in winter that nature has not abandoned the earth.
Wreaths, garlands, clumped on the mantle, arching the doors, scenting the house.

Green, forever reminding us of the timeless cycle of love.

Redwood, pine, fir, eucalyptus, laurel, rhododendron, holly, it makes no difference.

A short walk, crisp air and sharp shears.

Cut with reverence.

Dear Locus

 Dear Locus,

Personally, I think Victorian fantasies are going to be the next big thing, as long as we can come up with a fitting collective term for Powers, Blaylock and myself. Something based on the appropriate technology of the era; like ‘steam-punks’, perhaps.
