eclectic walls

 

I love the idea of an eclectic wall arrangement.  It takes some work and a lot of time to get it right but it can be so fun when it comes together. 

What about you- do you like everything symmetrical and neat or does balanced and fun do the trick?

Art Statement: Gallery walls

 

I know I know.. we have seen it all before... I am wondering though do you prefer the mismatched sizing of a gallery wall or the organized defined area of pieces that are all framed the same?

I am a mismatched girl myself and have them all around the house filled with family pictures and vintage documents alike.  I am running out of walls though and need to figure something out as I still love artwork and will definitely need to add more to my collection..

I am loving the bottom pic of the vintage oil paintings..

In the olive trees..

 

Day dreaming of being in this amazing place... 

and loving that basket of goodies on the ground below the table.

So very perfect!

I am so thankful that my little sis gave me a subscription to Cote Sud for Christmas now I can dream about France all year long!

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!

flea market finds...

This is just a little bit of me... playing with some of the new things that I picked up at the flea market.

I was thinking the other day about the flea market and how much I love going.  It is the trill of the hunt, I love finding things that have a history and make me smile.  They can be quirky and beautiful and when they all come together they say something about the newest owner.  

I find when I am there that I have a huge range of things that catch my eye.  Even though I love some things they are not meant for me.  I keep them here while they wait for another home.  So I put up a little section in the shop that is perfect for these things..

A little on line flea market just for you..

Don't miss your chance to win from Shabby Apple here!

sometimes we need that.

Washed out walls

Love Love the feeling of this image.. 

of course it has my dishes and the color of the room is to die for...

I have been busy cleaning out around here and one thing that had to be handled was the piles and piles of magazines.  I have pulled out so many wonderful images, I cannot wait to start sharing them with you!

Happy February!

reminiscing..

I know it is a little early to be doing this but I think I will be posting some of my favorite pictures from greige here over the next few days to get me in the mood for the new {busy} year ahead. I have so much to remember and so much to look forward to in the coming year. I hope you will continue to join me!

All the best,

A little R & R

Busy days ahead... are you ready? I am longing for the simplicity of a vintage cabinet filled with lovely creamy blue dishes and steaming cocoa to drink while I day dream.

Next week I hope to have some pictures of my holiday decor and a little sneak peek into what has been keeping me so busy!

Tomorrow we will have our final post in our Guest wish list series.

Be sure to check us out on Facebook for all things greige

Contrast with exposed storage

I know some of you don't love exposed storage for your dishes... but look how pretty it can be...

Cream in the kitchen...

I just love exposed shelving and the clean white dishes!

Are you ready for the holiday? I am cooking turkey (second time around) this year and hosting the family. Should be fun and busy. Sometimes I really love just being the guest though... 

Hoping to have an update on the dining room makeover for you after the holiday!!!
