This May Have A Lot Going On, But, I Like It!

This entry has a lot going on, I admit it may not be a bad thing to lose and element or two, but I really like it. I love the straight lines of the console table, paired with the bamboo chairs with the animal print inspired fabric. Then of course I love the gold guilded mirror surrounded by the white plates. Did you even notice that within those plates are urns sitting on sconce shelves. Lots for the eye to see, that's for sure. But... its all good. What do you think? Image via Cottage Living.

Don't Just Store it, Display it!

Don't you have some fantastic serving plates that you rarely get to see because they are wrapped up in bubble wrap, or stored in a cabinet? Change that! Make a conscious effort to use your beautiful serving pieces. Display them in a beautiful arrangement in your home, its art you didn't even know you had! Above is Kelly Wearstler's design at the Viceroy in Santa Monica.

A display of Hermes plates. Now this to me is brilliant! Who would want to cubby up a gorgeous collection of Hermes place settings?
