The White Booth -- Five of Us Gals in our New Antique Booth, The *B* Hive

Posted on 10:18 by tripal h


Most of my readers know that I sell antiques and that I have a space at an antique store here in Newnan, Georgia.  It has proven to be a wonderful experience for me to be at Rockin B' Antiques, as I have made some great friends, had some great sales, and received a lot of hugs and support after the passing of my husband in January.  As my friend Denise told me "You are meant to be here."  I can't even express what the people of Rockin' B have meant to me.

So, when some friends from Rockin' B invited me to join them in another space in the store, I was excited.  What we have done is create a white booth, which is right up my alley, as I love muted colors...white, gray, cream, pink and robin's egg blue.  With Denise, Nicole, Martie, Kathy and Georgia, we have created a dreamy white booth featuring a different accent color for each month.  We call ourselves "the *B* Hive."  We started in late May and continued into June with the accent color being "Coke bottle green".  During July, our accent color is Apricot, with tones of Amber and natural elements scattered about...lots of sea shells, wood, and other gifts from nature.  I have featured some photos of our booth, along with a link to our blog.  Please check out  the blog and add yourself as a follower.  The white booth changes daily. And if you live in the Atlanta area or are just passing through, please stop in and see us.  You won't be disappointed!

A Touch of Grey - the Most Romantic of Colors

Posted on 22:04 by tripal h


For the last couple of years, the entire design world seems to be obsessing over grey...interior designers, architects, fashion designers, photographers...all turning to grey for inspiration.  I have to admit that I didn't jump on the grey bandwagon immediately...then suddenly I realized that so many of the homes that I love, most importantly the interiors, feature this most romantic of colors.  What is it about a room, empty with the exception of a banister or chandelier, floating in grey, that makes me swoon?  For me, it's a reminder of why I love cloudy, misty days, old, drafty mansions and dapple grey horses...it's pure and simple romance.  A naturally weathered grey picket fence makes me smile, as does a wall of stacked gray stones against a backdrop of foot high grass.  Over the past two years, I have brought several shades of grey into my own home.  In my office, I have paired lavender with grey for the walls, and have accented the room with white, deep gold, silver and black.  In my master bedroom, I have brought together grey, cream and taupe, accented with a very deep, almost brown, red.  I have featured photographs of some interiors that make me say "ahhh", along with some of the cloudy days and dappled greys that remind me of why I love this color so much.  Enjoy.

It's All About Location...English and French Country Houses

Posted on 09:41 by tripal h


While surfing the internet, perusing blogs and websites devoted to all things old and must, crusty and dusty, I found this wonderful site, JJ Locations, that provides locations for film, photography, fashion and commercial shoots.  I could easily waste a day looking at each and every house...but as always, was drawn to the old houses of England, with a few from France thrown in for good measure...you Francophiles need love too!  So I decided to feature a few of my favorites.  I know the maintenance on these homes must be incredible...but a girl can dream...I just want to check in for a month or two..in May or June...with my dogs and my laptop...and an Aston Martin to get me to and from.  Enjoy...

Old brick, slate roof...old shutters...perfect

Do you really need more than a nice swing on a  grassy  country path on a spring afternoon? Nope

That's the kind of "green" money cannot buy - it takes time and age 

This would make for a beautiful walk each day

Don't you always wonder what's behind a door like this?

So "Price and Prejudice" - what's not to love?

What a lawn...



So lovely --- snow and an old farm...

I could easily hang out right there...

Overgrown, neglected....and wonderful

Interior view of one location in England -- the  natural light in this hall is nice

Beautiful Meadow - this could actually make me skip:)

Another beautiful farm

This photograph appears to have been taken in the spring time  -- perfect time to explore England

How many horses have trotted along this path? across this wooden bridge over time?

More snow - beautiful - this is near Scotland

How incredible is this staircase? And all that muted white and gray?

Probably someone's weekend estate -- I would settle for just one weekend

Same house...this reminds me of the film "The Duchess"

Peaceful Perfection

Let's have a girl's night out in the conservatory, shall we? We can invite Prince Harry


Scotland location - probably really cold but I can handle cold weather

Gothic Spendor - and the steps!

Another gothic beauty

This one is in France -- it looks like a fairy tale

I have always dreamed of living next to a river - love the sound

Potting shed from the above estate - love the simplicity of this space

Southern states aren't the only place to find wisteria - such a beautiful vine
