The Lucite Collection

Back in the day (circa 1975) my cousin had a white acrylic desk and chair. It was so edgy and modern. I asked my mother if I could have new furniture like hers and she said NO. I had to stick with an antique white painted wood set with kelly green and royal blue painted trim.

Well, I have made up for lost time purchasing several Lucite pieces for my grown up home.

Take that Mother!

We asked our shopping Guru, my sister, to gives us a handful of her favorites.

Can't stop thinking about Outdoor Spaces

It's still too cold to plant our pots with annuals but it is definitely time to clean off the deck or patio, wash the outdoor furniture and get ready for sunshine, fresh air and entertaining.

An Airstream Trailer emergency briefly took us to the Lowes in Moses lake, Washington. Our trailer problem faded away the minute I saw the outdoor collection at Lowes. It's much less picked over than ours in Seattle which motivated me to go online and see more.

City Living-Two hip pads for sale

Tara and I dream about owning a condo downtown. Mostly we dream about decorating it. I have a feeling that is the motivation behind Tara shopping for a summer home. It's all about decorating...

These first photos are from a listing, that we staged, by a very savvy agent that we love working for-Colleen McCann. It is over looking Seattle's Lake Union neighborhood with Queen Anne views as well.

Look at my sister and her fine art of arranging. Such concentration...

In the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle is a listing by Greg O'Leyar. We get to do very fun projects for him.
The views are amazing from this 12th floor unit. As we work we watch the cruise ships come in and the ferries cross the Sound. Also, there are pretty gardens all over that you look down on. It is city living at it's best.

This photo shows a low profile couch purchased from Moe's Home Collection. The geometric pillows are from West Elm and the cool coffee table came from Antique Liquidators. A nice urban look.

Again, more laughing as I try the timer on my new camera. It's moments like these when we really enjoy our job.

Sweet Vignette

A sweet vignette from the 2009 Hampton's Designer Show house. Love how well the vintage phone marries with the hip chair and modern Lucite side table. It's a simple recipe that is not difficult to achieve. Look around your house and challenge yourself to grab a chair from a room, a side table from another room, and some cool accessories, books, photos and see if you can create your own vignette with your personal signature.
