Just throw it all together!

I've read in multiple places that the best rule of thumb when shopping at antique shops, vintage stores, flea markets and antique malls is to buy what you love - and you will make it work.

Here is the perfect example of that!

AMAZING flea market find that I should not have passed up on.... but unfortunately kept walking. At least I got the picture. :) But isn't that just gorgeous?!

Happy Colors Make Happy Furniture!

I love painted furniture. It spruces it up, makes it more fun, and can really become a "show stopper." Here are a few examples that I absolutely loved. If you have seen any great ones, please do e-mail me a picture.
I love how they painted the inside of this breakfront. The color combination is exquisite.

I love this lilac, high-glossed buffet table. It especially looks fantastic with the white wane-scotting and wallpaper.

ADORE!! How sick is this dresser? Chippendale/bamboo is my thing. Maybe, not red - but the combo with the pale purple walls and the pale turquoise lamps, then the interesting additions of the white shades and black chairs, its all pretty chic to me!

From the Personal File

I have a feeling that my posts, "From the Personal File" will be happening a lot more than just once a week. My file is pretty hefty!

So, here is another one. This is true "Hallie Style."

1. GOLD accents are my thing!!
2. The wheat stack sconces - ( I have a wheat stack coffee table, and some gold sconces that I adore!)
3. The mix of cultural elements: the Moroccan pouf, the French chaise, the Egyptian type head sculpture....
4. The hits of hot pink. (Hot pink is a whole new love for me!!!) I love how the book shelving has all been unified with the hot pink. It pretty much acts like a neutral.
