Grainy photo of the library taken with my cellphone.
The hallway, showing one of the Cherry Tree Design sconces.
View out the library window, into the courtyard.
Chez Panisse posters framing the french doors. The doors will have post and lentil trim once we sort out some problems with the doors.
Beautiful Chez Panisse Tenth Birthday poster in our kitchen, looking towards the foyer.
Looking over the kitchen island with the atrium in the background. These are quince boughs that I cut when they were starting to bud. It looks so Japanese!
Lilacs from my lovely friend.
We had just received our custom floorcloths from Gracewood Design. When I saw the Sun had created an artful pattern across the floor, I set up my camera and tripod, then Jupiter walked over instinctively and posed.
This is the art glass pendant shade that we bought at Lundberg Glass Studios in Davenport http://www.lundbergstudios.com/shades/shades.html. Is is 8 inches tall and will hang above the sink. I am holding it up next to the pulley pendants over our island. I am trying to compare the two styles, hoping they complement each other. Too matchy-matchy is not good.
This is serendipitous how the design on the shade reflects that in the Chez Panisse poster, or is this not a coincidence?
Pretty? The bumblebee is the backsplash around the sink. We had the floorcloths designed by Gracewood Design with the same bee motif. This is so much fun...
I like this so I took a picture at the Lundberg Glass Studio. The search for lighting over our farmhouse dinning table has been difficult, I think a oil rubbed bronze fixture with three of these shades would be lovely.
Nice warm, blue bath!
