Hollow's Eve - Part 1
Some people celebrate Halloween, I celebrate Hollows Eve. Halloween is too commercial and becomes an advertisement for bad taste in costume and horror movies. Hollows Eve on the other hand tackles the sense of darkness and spook. A small difference for some a big one for me. Vintage prints go up framed in black , mice appear on my doorsteps as do bats and crows. Black. white decorations are all over the house and Luna pumpkins are in the garden to reflect the color of the moon. Sorry to disappoint you but there is no Adams Family music or screams coming of my front door, no blood spilling, no body parts scattered about. No Hollows Eve still has a sense of style. Call me old fashioned.

Smittened with Darryl Carter - Part 1
OK so I will admit I am smitten by Darryl Carter. Some of the things he designs I like, others I love like the SHAW light (DC-9532) available at Urban Electric, http://www.urbanelectricco.com/, some I would not put in my house, but rather it is the way he pairs everything up. It looks like it has always been together but and manages to stay light and airy.

Welcome to our new table
Well after waiting for over 4 months our new dining room has arrived. A simple trestle table from Restoration Hardware. Natural in color, wood and shape I am in love with its simplicity. I can already imagine the dinners, filled with friends, food and laughter, I feel lucky to be able to have such a beautiful piece of furniture in this house, our labor of love.
Now comes the question of seating...what to do next? Options anyone? let me know what you think!>
