THOMAS O'BRIEN ~ DESIGN ON FIFTH AVENUE

Interior designer Thomas O'Brien was called on to decorate the Veranda's fifth annual Designer Vision show house.  Using American made antiques, pieces from his own collection, and an extensive art and vintage collection, O'Brien designed the show house with a perfect mix of furnishings, fabric, and texture.  The result was a comfortable yet chic home.  ENJOY!

MANY THANKS

I was wearing the lucky hat during the holidays and won several fabulous giveaways! I can't tell the sponsors of these giveaways how much I appreciate the nice gifts I have received.  Thank you, thank you!

I received this beautiful Balsam Hill lighted wreath from Barbara at Hampton Hostess.  This wreath has me rethinking artificial greenery. I thought they had made a mistake and put a live wreath in the box.  It is that beautiful.  THANK YOU, BARBARA!

I won this gorgeous necklace from a giveaway sponsored by Claudia at The Paris Apartment.  The necklace, from Tarnished Lace, is so beautiful.  This image doesn't do it justice.  THANK YOU, CLAUDIA!

I won this beautiful embroidered bag from Emily at Splendid Market.  This bag will last forever!  Inside was a fresh branch of greenery and Splendid Market notepads and matches. THANK YOU, EMILY!

My darling friend, Vicki Archer, author of the blog French Essence and owner of the beautiful online boutique, sent this gorgeous glass ornament just because.  Vicki, I love my ornament.  THANK YOU!

I won this darling bracelet in a giveaway by Jessie over at Mix and Chic.  The add-a-bead bracelet from Cutey is gorgeous! THANK YOU, JESSIE!

I won this gorgeous antique print at a giveaway by the sweet Kerry at Design du Monde.  I can't wait to get this framed and hung!  THANK YOU, KERRY!

And a big THANK YOU to my sweet friend Karena, of Art by Karena, for hosting the giveaway of the book Hidden In Paris.  I can't wait to read this book, Karena!
