Welcome to the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts...

Patrick Dougherty...

I am happy to have gotten some really good photographs of this exhibit because it has been taken down. Southern Accents did a piece on this exhibit last year.

I was going to show you my photographs of some of the collections at the museum, but they have now put up a site with the permanent collections online. ENJOY!

They can also be found on Facebook.

You can find more on Patrick Dougherty here.

See you soon,

Teresa

This Is It

Finally...

After years of going back and forth on colors to use in my living and dining room area, I have decided on brown/olive brown as my color scheme.  I love this dining room in the June issue of Architectural Digest.

Many years ago the builders accidentally laid brown carpet in my family room instead of the sand color ordered.  Unfortunately, it was after they replaced it that I realized how much I liked the color.

I have always kept tear sheets and magazines, and I noticed that brown was the dominant color saved.  I will use brown and lavender in my bedroom.  So...wish me luck.

I wish I could find the photo that turned on the light in my stubborn brain, but I found these rooms designed by Kelley Proxmire via My Knotting Hill blog.

 Domino via Little Green Notebook blog.

I love the fabric used to cover the chairs above.

See you soon,

Now on to Embracing Etiquette With Teresa...



Shopping Short Takes at Yard SalesIf the sign says “no early birds,” don’t go early. Do not arrive while the seller is getting ready for the sales so that you may get some good deals. That’s considered “dirty pool.” Be quiet because the neighbors may still be sleeping. Do not block a neighbor’s driveway.

Do not leave items in disarray. Leave them the way you found them. Do not haggle, although a little bargaining is ok. Carry small bills and plenty of change. Don’t be upset if the seller can’t make change. They are not a store.

Tomorrow we start a new series, Dealing With Rudeness.

See you soon,
Teresa
