This use of color is not so subtle. Its not for the timid. Check out Gaelle Le Boulicaut's portfolio for more amazing photos.

For all those who are color-phobic, a great design trick is to use color in small quantities. Of course, for more of an impact; its better to use a strong color that really stands out. This French home is a WONDERFUL example. It has amazing punches of color in every room. Another trick is to repeat the same accent color through out the room. How about painting the inside of cabinets?!
Do any of you ever catch yourself living a particular pattern over and over? Like when you buy a new dress or pair of shoes, and then realize you already have multiple pairs that look exactly the same! Yet when you were buying the shoes or dress, you didn't remember that. Well, that's how I am about photographing chairs, of all things. As I scroll through all my photos, there's always at least one photo of a chair! I find this to be rather amusing, so I decided to group my chair collection on my Flickr site. Here are two of my recent favorites. I'm not sure if this some insight into my soul, or if I just like sitting down.
So last week I wrote about my current infatuation with marble, and discovered that I am not the only one who loves it. While scrolling through Phorm Design's blog I found the amazing bathroom above. I was salivating on my monitor! The best part is that the rest of the house, designed by Pierre Yovanovitch is just as fabulous.
Alright, its almost 1:30 a.m. so I think I will go to bed. I'm sure a lot of you are losing sleep tonight watching the election results. With all the emotion, I'm having trouble winding down. Its definitely the verge of a new day here in the U.S. You all may realize, that the party I supported didn't win so obviously I am somewhat disappointed. On the other hand, I am SO proud of all the people who took their responsibilities seriously and voted! Even a young girl who had to call her mom just to ask what her address was. Hey, she got out there and did it. I really hope and pray, that more than a new President, we have a new found sense of patriotism and responsibility. I know I already used that word, but I think it is very important. I don't want to sound preachy, so I'm trying to keep my thoughts restrained.My point is that although, I didn't vote for our new President; I feel that only good things can come from so many people realizing that they have to be involved in our country's affairs.
Again, sorry for the preachiness:)
'Cause that's my fun day. Ha! A gold star for anyone who remembers those lyrics. I really did have fun on Sunday at the Urban Market, but Monday I spent feeling sick...not fun. So, I'm going to keep the writing short and sweet, but I will share my favorite photos. (I guess that isn't very different).
These two lovely ladies are Sally Wheat and Jackie Sharbrough. Jackie took ownership of organizing the Market this year and is an antique dealer herself! Sally is also an antique dealer and designer who refurbished the amazing set of white chairs above. Some of Cote de Texas readers, may remember seeing her amazing house here. I've become a fan of her mid-century furniture and driftwood pieces. Both of their items can be found here.
So, most of my shopping trips consist of walking around and taking photos. I am happy to say that this trip actually turned up a treasure I had to have. This table is will work perfectly for a small project for my house. I need my husband to adjust it a little, so I'm not going to promise photos of the finished product. Sorry, Mark. I love him to death, but projects often take longer than I like.
We went on our first Trick-or-Treat trip. We really had so much fun, especially since the "big boy" picked his own costume! He was "Handy Manny"...its a toddler thing.
