I think I've said this before, but something I admire most about your home is that it's unique. A reflection of who you are as a couple, and as individuals. I had to scroll through several times to take in all the photos. I adore how you combine sophistication with whimsy. That part of you who won't take herself too seriously. I LOVE that! So many things you wrote resonate with me this morning, but these words: "But sometimes when achieving a new look we must elevate our comfort level and relax enough to dismiss our fears of what other people may perceive" are profound. Relax, dismiss our fears of what other people may perceive, and create; this is a place in my own life where I've chosen to settle. What matters to me now is: do I (CAPITAL BOLD "I" love it? Thank you, dear Vera. Now I must read through one more time.

Your artistic ability is amazing! Would you please come to Texas and paint a few things for me? :) LOVE the harlequin pattern more than I can say...the fleur de lis, any kind of bling, zebra and cheetah, the olive branch and focusing on beautiful words. I think "Believe" encompasses so many areas of our lives. I could spend a week in that guest room I'm sure! The little lamb is adorable and I love the angel house. New Orleans and the people of Louisiana hold a special place in my heart! The buddha is amazing! Every little unique touch is a reflection of you and I'm sure, John.

What joy it must be, two artists creating together in the same home.<br /><br />My husband is artistic (he made handmade collector quality smoking pipes for years), but we've spent so much time building buildings in the past 8 years that art has taken a back seat. Now he is back lost in programming again. Multi-talented and always going in multiple directions!<br /><br />I love all you share, dear Vera.<br /><br />Sending hugs,<br />LinLin from A {tiny} Cottage In The Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852855396042947932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047532841234141141.post-55653201984975306252015-03-11T09:30:03.535-04:002015-03-11T09:30:03.535-04:00Personal AND lovely :-)Personal AND lovely :-)ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047532841234141141.post-60389963958224992392015-03-11T07:20:34.307-04:002015-03-11T07:20:34.307-04:00My dear, dear friend!

You know I love harlequin printing, and that armoire is divine. Penny's art work graces your home as it does mine, and Doré's outstanding detailed work gives that old-world feel. How gorgeous it is to admire and have aged pieces in the house....how I wish society would value aged people as such!!!!!<br /><br />Sending you a hug and a smile on this 60+ warm day! LOVE!

I am honored that you found such a place of honor for my pieces in your home, I so see how the light captures the creole angel home and how it plays about in your dinning room just so, it could not have gone to a better suited home.<br /><br />Now I have to discuss Johns building of his gifting to you! ( Draculas) castle....oh my, it's a favorite of mine....now why have you not removed the coffin for the staging and put on a the atical production on its stage. It's the best thing I have ever seen in this scale in a home of art. You could do black swan ballet, or a haunting nightmare on elm street, but not elm your street or a Beatle Juice kind of opera production. Exactly what is this made of, and plans? And the inside texture to the walls, arches, flooring? Is this a kit? I so want one, I need to paper mâché one! It's just amazing like everything else in your row home.<br /><br />The grange like sleigh bed invites me to stay the night, can I please? Pretty Please?? It's layers of bedding is softly aged with perfect beauty all the right kind of rightness :)<br /><br />As for the faux wall paper checkerboard wall pattern I thought it was just painted to the wall, the paper adds so much demention to the layered walls, and if stretching or flaws took place in the hanging of it? Oh well, I would embrace and welcome it adding again every bit an artistic edge to its design, not perfect, but not imperfect.<br />Really I once wanted all the checkerboard flooring, and Harlequin patterns in my home, I too have done this work for years in model homes and clients along with faux painting and always meant to repeat this work in my home, I can see myself still doing it, in fact so much so I will do them in the aged tinted grey's and tree bark beiges fogging them into the walls as if they had been there and<br />aging for a 100 years.<br /><br />You live life like in a art studio kind of way, know wonder your head is going 24/7.<br /><br />Thank you beautiful for showing the side of you know one could have imagined in a million years...Authentically you.<br /><br />Xoxo<br />See you soon,<br />Talk to you soon.<br /><br />You are inspiring me, really inspiring me :))<br /><br />Xx<br />Bisous<br /><br />Doré <br />Burlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047532841234141141.post-39911649801456346062015-03-10T23:10:43.572-04:002015-03-10T23:10:43.572-04:00I really like how you are attracted to the olive b...I really like how you are attracted to the olive branch.
