I wouldn't mind if my office looked like this...

Minimal, organized, functional, and stylish. Yeah,

all of those work for me.

Surrealistic Interior...

Perhaps it is because there is just so much going on here —

but the surrealistic slant still seductively pulls me in.

Then again, maybe it is just an opium haze.

Serena & Lily

Loving this cover of the new Serena & Lily catalog.

Now this is a nook!

I love a good nook — and this fantastic retreat designed by

Tom Scheerer is the perfect little sheltered spot.

Monique & Keith Keegan's Personal Style...

Vintage Industrial?
Modern Country?
_____

It doesn't really matter — I enjoy just about everything they do.
I posted about their home in Granville, Ohio a while back.
The images that Country Living captured remain some of my
favorite interior shots to date. If you have not see them,
take a look here.

Never a wrong turn from the stylists

at Tinekhome.

Gather the family...

This family room gets a shot of Belgian style

courtesy of Kay Douglass. The horizontal planked

walls and the antique French doors on the media

cabinet are my favorite touches.

Of course I love all the natural history elements

in this Jill Morris-designed family room. Old globes

are always a favorite of mine.

Hattie Wolfe and Abby Rizor included two

leather and raw silk chesterfield sofas in this

Florida family room. The layered frames

and personal collections really

"cozy up" the space.

Mona Hajj designed this American cottage

family room using a soothing cream and blue

color palette. I love the paneled fireplace wall.

My Sparrow...

Vintage Industrial Metal Tray Basket / 42.
Every single pillow creation is amazing.

Just look at these Barbara Barry Poetical

Linen Pillows / 168.

Of course the vintage finds are my favorite.

Take a look at this Framed French Document / 98.

If you are not familiar with

My Sparrow's limited editions and

one-of-a-kind finds on Etsy, I suggest

you head over and take a peek.

Visually defined ruralism at its finest...

You've probably already read about J. Morgan Puett

on a few other blogs already, but I just could not

resist sharing these images here on the NVR.

Puett is a coneptual installation artist. As with the

work shown here, some of her projects recreate

vignettes that recollect her simple

southern heritage.

Her artfully arranged and studied spaces

seem plucked from some Appalachian shack

inhabited by someone with a flair for making

their simple, appreciated belongings shine.

Here is an old photo from a display at

her Wooster Street store in NYC.

Some of these images are also from Puett's Eastern
Pennsylvannia artists' colony, Mildred's Lane.

The 96-acre property has been described as an

experiment in romantic decay.

Read more about Puett's world here.

Resting...

Getting some rest after a crazy open house weekend

here at Finderskeepers. Back to full-on blogging

tomorrow. Enjoy what remains of the weekend!

I am off to see The Color Purple at

The Lexington Opera House.

Beekman 1802 Milk Shake...

More fantastic packaging from The Beekman Boys.

The Beekman 1802 Goat Milk Bath Soak is a

Bendel's FNO exclusive.

Seeking some Fall color inspiration?

Look no further than Todd Haynes' 2002 drama,

Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore.

I honestly don't think I have ever seen Fall color

look this ethereal.
