Neutral, then a shock of pink

I applaud George for embracing the pink!

This room is in George Stephanopoulos' Washington D.C.

home and features a vintage army cot as coffee table,

pink John Derian poufs, and Motley colored walls by C2 paint.

Another Nice Paint Color...

I have been looking and looking at paint swatches for

several days now — trying to decide on the 2010 colors

for Finderskeepers. While browsing, I came across this

handsome color from Benjamin Moore called

Creekside Green. Kudos to designer Amelia T. Handegan

for using it so flawlessly in this dining room.

Bubblewrap Snowdrifts...

Genius window display at the Seattle

Anthropologie! I love the animals with

their knitted headgear — and the bubblewrap

snowdrifts lit from within are a great

inspiration to repurpose whenever you can.

Color Combinations...

Nice color selections by Jeffrey Bilhuber for

this Pennsylvania farmhouse. The walls are

Van Deusen Blue by Benjamin Moore.

Lonny Magazine Issue Two

The second issue of Lonny Magazine

(http://www.lonnymag.com/) premiered Dec. 10th.

For all of you that deeply miss Domino,

Lonny provides so much comfort. Enjoy!

Dolly Tubs were once used for washing clothes... and children.

After the clothes were washed, the children

would line up and then come out smelling like Dreft!

Now, the Dolly Tubs are great, functional accent

pieces. They make great side tables, firewood storage,

or planters like the one showed in the photo.

Look for them soon at Finderskeepers.

Vintage Desk Accessories...

Stylish and functional vintage desk

accessories are popping up everywhere.

I especially like the wire letter trays.

Finderskeepers is putting together

a nice little collection to share with

everyone in February.

Merry Christmas...or, Why Do We Eat Like Pigs?

We shared a wonderful, blessed Christmas

with Randy's family in Morehead, but boy

am I feeling the results. I've consumed

way beyond my reasonable limit this holiday

season and feel the need to get back on track

with healthier eating habits. Still, we

sure had a lot of fun. We celebrated Christmas

Eve at Glenna's (Randy's sister) house with

some game playing, tons of nibbles, and more

laughter than you could even imagine.

Christmas day started off, once again, at Glenna's

house with Christmas breakfast, unwrapping

presents, and a cozy nap beside her lovely

tree. Later on, we headed to Mitch and Patty's

(Randy's brother and sister-in-law) house for

Christmas dinner.

I feel so blessed to be a part of such a

wonderful, loving family!

Here's wishing you all the same sense

of love and acceptance this

holiday season and all the year through!

Counting Sheep Not Necessary...

The layered rugs, the shirred armoire, red and gray —

and those beams! There is something both contemporary

and homespun about this space... and I love it.

I'm soaking in it...

I wish.

Inventive Tablescape...

Mikkel Vang

So many things to enjoy here: an elephant centerpiece,
a whimsical hare keeping watch, ocean relic lighting,
hand-thrown bowls, and a beautiful color palette.

Christmas and New Year Break...

Saturday, December 19th is our

last day here at the shop before our

Christmas and New Year break begins.

We will re-open with some amazing surprises

the first weekend in February. Stop in and

see us before the 19th for savings up to 50%

on all of our remaining Christmas items.

During the break, we'll be scouting for vintage

pieces at the Scott Antiques Show, shopping the

January Market in Atlanta, and giving the shop

an exciting facelift for the new year!

We'll be looking forward to February

when we can share all of our new finds!

Until then, we hope each of you have a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks for your support.

Don't forget to stay tuned in to the blog

for updates and information during

our little break.

A Little Vintage Chair...

... is often the perfect accessory

in just about any setting.

The secret to hanging artwork...

Be playful.

Just look at these results!

Christmas Wishlist...

My Christmas wishlist always includes books.

The Impact of Color...

Bold...
... and subtle.

I do love a good branch...

More photo-staging magic...

Skona Hem

Possible Acquisition...

The pose, the moody background, the expression —

all of it makes for a striking piece of artwork.

Now — is she right for what I am trying

to achieve? A little more planning and

time will tell.

Giftwrap...

What a simple and pretty giftwrapping idea!

I forgot to mention inexpensive.

First Snow of the Season...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Paul Lowe's Photo Staging...

Stunning stuff from Mr. Paul Lowe.

For the Love of Chalkboards...

Make an old storage piece even more functional

by turning the doors into message boards.
Chalkboard as room divider in an already
dramatic loft space.

I love the industrial elements in this kitchen.

Somehow, the chalkboard walls seem to cozy

things up a bit.

The addition of frame lights balances the

casualness and formality.
