Good news....looks like we all made it through another week.

Around here it was pretty darn busy.

First up was a trip to Scotts with a client.  Normally that kind of situation can be a disaster but this chick likes to shop so it was like Disneyland for her.

Our goal was inspiration for a 12 ft dining table which will have to be custom made.  

The biggest decision was the base.  Here are a few we saw.

Love this look and especially the fact that no "legs" will get in the way of seating.

I got excited over these 2 looks...

Crazy over the simple lines of this one.

The next 2 were nice but not as unusual....

After all that.....no decision yet but I will keep you updated !

Another thing on the agenda was a chest or some inspiration for a vanity.

This was beautiful.  Love the warmth of the wood tone.

This is how it might look with 12 x 24 Calcutta marble floors carried 1/2 up the wall.  Throw in this Cole and Sons wallpaper, an ornate mirror, a couple of Circa Lighting sconces and some art from my favorite artist Dawn Raulet.

Saw these great KW pillows....I mean what is a Scotts post with out at least one pillow:)

And this huge marble bowl.....lawd....I love this!  When I say huge it was like 20-24 inches wide.  

This fun propeller mirror was a thought for the "man cave"

How cool is this old teeter totter.  

I am always interested in unusually shaped chest.  This killed me.

 The light wood on this spindle chair.

These cool teak stools...

And.....this gargoyle was purchased to ward off evil spirits.  I feel safe now.

There you have it.....the best of the best.  Oh yeah....thanks for all your encouragement on my ORC.  That wallpaper got installed and dang if it wasnt a game changer! 

I hope you dance away this weekend:)

Thanks so much for all of your amazing comments on that bathroom.  You know how to make a gal feel good!

There were a few questions so I thought I would answer them here.

"Is there a sink in the separate toilet area?"  Yes there is.  Not sure why I didnt get a picture of it.

"What is under the vase of flowers" [you guys are observant!].  

I got it at HomeGoods.  Its a piece of petrified wood.

"What is that small niche in the shower?"

Its a place to put her foot while shaving her legs!

"Give me some details about the tile"....I have to admit when we went looking at Floor and Decor I thought since it was such a small bathroom we would just stick with 2 selections.  The "wood" floor tile was the first one we selected because I am sure you will never know when it is dirty:)

We selected the shower tile next and then spotted  the glass tiles and I thought it would frame the tub nicely.  Paint would have done the same thing but the tile added more interest.  

Another factor was that I like a mix of shiny and dull.  Think about the reclaimed wood against the shiny mirrors and then with the countertops being kind of in the middle.

The soaking tub was the first thing picked and the whole room then designed around it.  Before the sledgehammer swung.....everything had been ordered and was sitting in the garage which made the renovation proceed smoothly.

Now on to Scotts.  I took a quick trip down there on Friday and to tell you the truth I had not been in about 2 months.

The minute I got there I realized why I love it so much.  

Cause where else can you see cute dogs in cribs?

And all of these wonderful things.

Like great fabrics.

And pillows....

My weakness....

And other things I dont need but wanted.

Im not really a wreath person but I was digging this one.

Vintage green velvet chairs.

Beautiful rugs.

And these gorgeous pressed plants....

From Sweetgrass Botanicals.  Love.

I have some vintage ones I purchased about 15 years ago and Im still crazy about them.

They used to be in my LR

And now they are in my guest room....

 Just one more thing.  

I went to get some lunch and ended up getting a soda and a chocolate chip cookie.  I dont know what came over me:)

Anyway I ran into a few people after that [one I knew] and Christy who works for Lacefield Designs.  When I got in my car I noticed had chocolate all over my face.

a. I cant believe my friend Mimi did not tell me.

b. What a great impression I must have made with Christy. 

Can I even be trusted to leave the house anymore?
