We had an amazing Christmas and New Years. Just getting back to normal, Christmas decorations are all down and put away. What a job that is, always vowed never to put up so many next year when I’m taking them down.
After Christmas, hubby and I went over to Liz and Dave’s for a few days. The boys played golf while Liz and I made the flea market/antique/interior design store circuit between Ft Walton Beach and Destin. Liz was in search a a buffet for her dinning room and I was hunting for anything! Especially inspiration. After 2 days of searching Liz found her dream piece at Lovelace Interiors in Destin. It’s the Addison cabinet from Aidan Gray. It’s a weathered wood, grayish lovely piece. Just perfect for their taste. And stores lots of china:
I’m making them a Lamp Tramp special…. a huge oyster shell mirror to go over this baby. Liz is searching for new lamps. And old wood planks to re-plank her table.
My favortie store that we went to, twice, is Antiques on Holiday. So many heavenly pieces and vignettes to feast one’s eyes upon. Enjoy all this great inspiration:
There are 2 huge floors of all this goodness, too much to photograph and digest all at once.
My Master Bath redo is still going on, cute Brazilian guy just left. I’ll get some pictures when everything is cleaned up and back together. On Thursday morning a new plumber is coming to spray foam under master bath whirlpool tub. Tub has been floating on air instead of a base of concrete underneath it to support weight of many gallons of water plus a body. Plumber is also installing new handles, faucets, shower nozzles, and hand held nozzles in two other baths. But the down side is, has has two cut huge holes out the walls behind these 2 tubs to change out faucets, etc. Lots more dust, coughing, choking, and cleaning. But we are getting things done and that is always a good thing.
Happy New Year to all!

I have a matching hole in my scrapbook room wall right now for the same reason! Tub/shower faucet change out! How dare them change the codes! :)
Wow. What a great store! I could live in there. Can't wait to look back at all of your amazing pics! Your mirror....outstanding. What an artist you are!
Love your oyster shell mirrors, they are awesome!!!!! I been inspired to try one and have my shells laid out on the 1/4" plywood. Before I glue them on I would like to ask you a question.
My husband (the engineer) seems to think the 1/4" plywood is not strong enough to support the weight of the shells without bowing. Have you had any problems with this? Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
Love all your ideas, thanks for sharing them.
