My Wish List for 2010

.

While I was relaxing in my marble bathtub, in my multi-million-dollar mansion, I thought of a few of the items that I wish for in 2010. Now I really don't have a marble bathtub, or a multi-million-dollar mansion, but I do have plans to make the wish list below a reality in 2010!

This beautiful cashmere jacket from Ralph Lauren has been on my list all season. One more price drop and it is mine!

No woman looks finished without a beautiful shade of Chanel lip colour choice.

This lovely quilt from Waterford will work beautifully with...

these Hotel Bed Linens from Williams-Sonoma Home.

Trapp candles are a must-have in my home!

This Breville Panini Press can be found at Williams-Sonoma.

Ok... I am saving the best until last. My very own coffee maker! This Breville Single-Serve Coffee Maker has been on my list for a while and can be found at Williams Sonoma.

Julia Childs and Beef Bourguignon is what I think of when I see this Le Creuset 5 1/2 Quart Dutch Oven from Williams-Sonoma.

Hickory Chair quality is the reason I have chosen this Devon sofa. The last sofa I purchased from Hickory Chair lasted over ten years, and is still holding up to the beach crowd.

I am excited about 2010, and I hope that you will enjoy my choice of posts! We are going to be busy!

Tartan Plaid ~ Part Two

A beautifully set table, such as this one set by Ralph Lauren, takes time and effort, but will allow your guests to feel special. Searching for ideas that serve as a template will make this task easier.

The furnishings and the accessories in your home should create an environment that is enjoyable for you. When you feel comfortable, the task of being host or hostess is joyful.

Shown here are some ideas using the tartan plaid for your home, tabletop, and comfort. Add love and hospitality, and your house becomes a home.

TARTAN LINENS

A table must begin with beautiful linens. These nutcracker napkins, from Williams-Sonoma, go beautifully with the placemats and linens that follow.

Williams-Sonoma Home has a large collection of linens. Shown here are their tartan linens.

This tartan decked table setting by Williams-Sonoma Home shows a small portion of the accessories that they carry. creating a perfect setting.

CHRISTMAS CHINA

This beautiful Nouveau Christmas china from Lenox brightens any holiday table.


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree. This traditional Christmas china has been around for as long as I can remember. When Spode is mentioned, this Christmas Tree china comes to mind.

TARTAN FURNITURE

Ahhh... Ralph Lauren never disappoints me, and this tartan filled room follows suit. Once again, tartan proves itself glorious.

This tartan upholstered Wylan chair by Ralph Lauren looks as inviting as beautiful.

This fabric by Ralph Lauren Home pairs beautifully with the black Chilton chair below.

This black Chilton chair by Ralph Lauren goes perfectly with the black tartans.

This Spencer chair by Ralph Lauren adds just the right pop to a tartan filled room.

ACCESSORIES

Cozy up by the fire with one of these tartan throws from Williams-Sonoma Home.

These tassels would add class to any tartan filled room.

You know that I can't leave out these engraved cards by Crane. The little tartan bow is a Christmas classic.

This photograph of a Christmas tree is on the Brooks Brothers website. It is so bright and cheery that I wanted to share it with you.

TARTAN UPHOLDSTERY FABRIC

This is the lighter of the tartans, and it is made from wool by Ralph Lauren.

This is just another one of the wool fabrics from Ralph Lauren's upholstery fabric line.

This is a silk tartan fabric by Ralph Lauren.


An example of just a few tartan fabrics.

All of these fabrics, by Ralph Lauren, are of the highest quality
-- providing years of beauty.

This is the end of my tartan posts. I hope that you have enjoyed these posts as much as I have enjoyed creating them. As with any decorating endeavor you must have something to work with, and tartans certainly provide this.

Within the next week I will be posting some photographs that were clicked especially for you.

See you Monday, and as always this time of year, Merry Christmas.

I've Gone Zebra!

Follow me through the Jungle...

This beautiful stairway runner is zebra, designed by Renea Abbott for Veranda Magazine.

This room, decorated by Anthony Todd,is featured in Elle Decor. It is designed around a zebra pelt from Wildlife Etc., layered on top of a sissal rug.

This beautiful dining room, featured in Tradional Home, is arranged atop a Dash and Albert wool rug.

The Trophy Room Collection, Inc., provides zebra upholstered furniture, pelt rugs, and upholstery pelt priced by the foot.

These rugs are from Williams Sonoma and Target. The Williams Sonoma rug would work especially well in a kitchen or breakfast room. The Target rug, priced for those on a budget, would be perfect for a teenagers dorm room or bedroom.



The real thing -- the pelt. The prices are determined by the grade.
ZEBRA UP!

See you soon,
