I'm feeling inspired by an Australian furniture store called "The Cool Room".This is a guy after my own heart. He started collecting quirky and unique
objects since childhood and now shares them with the world.
This reminds me of being a kid and begging my mom to buy vintage jewelry and 1950's dinette sets.Not that she usually listened to me, except for the jewelry. I collected vintage earrings, rings, and
necklaces that I would wear while still in elementary school. The funny thing is, to this day;
my jewelry is collected in the exact same manner!

The dilapidated mansion was sold in 1979 after the death of Big Edie Beale.Before setting out to renovate the house, the new owner took the time to document what was
left behind. The New York Times is showing this collection of photos to the public for the first time.
They are not just a look into a homes interior but into the minds of its former owners.
Over the last couple of weeks the photos of my most recent house stalking excursion,have traveled around the web. I wanted to say a quick thanks to those of you who
posted my photos and a quick hello to all the new bloggers I've met.

P.S. I thought I would share one more little treat from this amazing house!
I actually saw this yesterday, but didn't get it posted on time.Anyway, I was making my regular trip to the Guild Shop and saw a lot of great pieces.
First, I found a couple pairs of shoes that I fell in love with! Unfortunately, no matter
how much I tried, they were both the wrong size:(
These were calling me from across the room! I know what some of you are thinking,but I did NOT buy more chairs. Honest! Anyway, Mark would kill me if I brought
more chairs home.
These may be the coolest find of all! Vintage dental cabinets. Dental or Dentists'? Not sure.Aren't they are amazing?! I have to say, I have rarely seen pieces like these.
Except they ranged from $700.00 to $900.00. That was a little rich for me.
So, I didn't buy anything but I did enjoy seeing all these little treasures.
It seems like we haven't had much of a Spring time around here.
In this part of the world we're used to feeling Spring by late February:)
Oh well, I'll take it whenever I can get it. These pretty photos put me
in the mood even more!

Having never been to Paris, I imagine it has more amazing boutiques than any other place in the world.For now, I can virtually enjoy the simple and dramatic showroom of Damir Doma.
I'm particularly infatuated with the beautiful marigold color draperies and chair!
P.S. I found these images via a "new to me" blog called Childhood Flames. The writer has a great style!
We had several days of pouring rain in Houston, but today is sunny and clear.
Just right for kicking back w/ some ice tea and listening to good music.
I think this song fits the bill:)
