Adorable Home Furnishings




A Savannah swing upholstered in burlap.  Curvy little back and sides.  Nailhead trim.  Cool. 

 







I love this soft, minky colored velvet

 




An Antique Warehouse Cart repurposed as a cocktail table.  Love It!

 




A neat loose, burlap lampshade.

 





It is always such a kick in the pants to visit artsy boutique stores. There are so many talented folks

in the South to "glean" ideas from.  (Does plagerism apply to decorating?)

Furniture..Texas Style

  I visited family in Dallas over Thanksgiving holiday and did a little Christmas shopping while I was there, of course.  I stumbled across a boutique furniture store on Lover's Lane called Mary Cate's that I just loved.  I wanted everything in there.







A little antique chest at the foot of a bed.  Adorable.



So cozy looking.



A fleur de lis chandelier....just what every Louisiana girl needs.



   

Just beautiful.  Go take a peek on your next visit to Big D.

Coconut Lover's Fantasy Cake

     My Mother-in-Law gave me a cookbook recently called, Somebody Stole the Cornbread from My Dressing.  Besides being a hilarious take on life in the South, it holds inside a recipe for a yummy
"Coconut Glop Cake".  I highly recommend it if you like coconut.  You really should give it a try.
Super delicious and easy to make.  What could be better?

Almost gone....... heavenly.

Fanciful Trees

I've been on the road a lot with my job recently, so no posts for a while...sorry. I did however, score lots of pictures of creative ideas in home and holiday decor. Some of them turned out better than others...  These are trees, garlands and ornaments that I have seen across the area in home decor stores.  Lots of ideas for Christmas this year.


                                              Red, Blue and Green...

Purple, Blue, Pink and Green

                                                     Red, Green and Natural Browns

This was a garland covering a post with lots of pink, green, blue and purple netting, giant ornaments and sparkly ribbon. More is more sometimes.

                                                                Glittery Ornaments

Fuzzy, curly ornaments

 And last, but not least, my personal favorites...pink and green sock monkey ornaments! So cute!

Now it is time to get decorating...........................
