THANKFUL

PAPER SOURCE PLACE SETTINGS. A DIY KIND OF THING. ONE OF OUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVINGS WE USED THESE AND LOVED IT.

PEDAL TO THE METAL

DOVETAIL SHOP AND STUDIO IS THE COLLABORATION OF MARGARET AND JOSH SMITH LOCATED IN LEXINGTON, KY.  THEY USE PORCELAIN CLAY ALONG WITH SCREEN PRINTED IMAGERY TO ACHIEVE EACH LINE. 


DON'T MAKE FUN, YOU LOVE IT. ADMIT IT. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH SCHWINN.

IT IS A BIKE BY ANY NAME, BEST OF ALL WHITE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO AMSTERDAM TO EXPERIENCE THIS CLASSIC OR THE SPORT BELOW.

ENGLAND GETS IT. THEY JUST DO.

DIG IT?

"I LIKE TO WORK AS A VISUAL DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, USING CONTRADICTION AS A VEHICLE FOR FINDING MY WAY."-CAL LANE

TO THE WANDERER, THE TRANSIENT, THERE IS A PLACE.

"EXTREMES, THOUGH CONTRARY, HAVE THE LIKE EFFECTS. EXTREME HEAT KILLS, AND SO EXTREME COLD: EXTREME LOVE BREEDS SATIETY, AND SO EXTREME HATRED; AND TOO VIOLENT RIGOR TEMPTS CHASTITY, AS DOES TOO MUCH LICENSE."- GEORGE CHAPMAN

SUCCULENT

CRAZY FOR SUCCULENTS. LOVE ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES LITTLE ATTENTION AND LOTS OF SUNSHINE. THE COLORS ARE PERFECT SHADES OF GREEN WITH A SORT OF CHALKY DUSTING.

FOUND! SUCCULENTS CAREFULLY DESIGNED AND DISPLAYED ON THE SIDE OF AN ENTRANCE TO THE OCEANA HOTEL IN SANTA MONICA, CA.

UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION, THE ADDICTION BEGAN. FOR THOSE OF YOU LIVING IN CALIFORNIA, YOU'RE IN LUCK. THE CALIFORNIA CACTUS CENTER IS FULLY EQUIPPED FOR ALL TYPES OF LANDSCAPING IN SUCCULENTS OR ADVICE ON HOW TO ACHIEVE WHAT I LIKE TO CALL A "SUCCULENT INSTALLATION."

A SOLID WHITE OAK BOWL WOULD HOLD AND DISPLAY A BATCH OF SUCCULENTS ON A TABLE INSIDE OR OUT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE WOOD AND CACTI TOGETHER.

AS ALWAYS A PERFECT COMPLEMENT TO THE GREEN SUCCULENT WILL ALWAYS BE WHITE. BRINGS OUT THE DUSTING. USE THIS SHORT SQUARE PLANTER DISH ON AN ACCENT TABLE.
I LIKE THE GREY SAUCER KIND OF APPROACH OR MAYBE IT'S THE GREY. EITHER WAY THIS IS A GREAT OPTION TO USE AS A SMALL PLANTER.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF USING AN OLD VINTAGE BIRDCAGE AND TRAY TO DISPLAY YOUR SUCCULENTS. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET THE RIGHT KIND OF TRAY WITH A LITTLE DEPTH. OLD BIRDCAGES CAN BE WOODEN OR LIKE THE ONE SHOWN ABOVE. DISPLAY THE CAGE WITH SUCCULENTS INSIDE ON TOP OF SOME OLD BOOKS ON A COFFEE TABLE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LIKE ME, WHEN THE HOLIDAYS COME I SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT WREATH. I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT I LIKE TO FIND THINGS OFF THE BEATEN PATH OR THAT I DON'T SEE ON EVERY DOOR. THIS YEAR, I MAY HAVE FOUND MY WREATH. YOU CAN BUY THE WREATHS BELOW AT THE CACTUS CENTER IN CALIFORNIA OR AT SIMPLY SUCCULENTS IN WISCONSIN.

LEATHER SO GOOD, YOU GOTTA SIT DOWN

CHROME AND LEATHER LENDS ITSELF MODERN BUT WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO SEE THIS CHAIR PLACED IN A VINTAGE SETTING, WHERE THERE WERE "NO RULES" IN INTERIOR DESIGN.

FOUND THESE IN MOROCCO AT HOTEL AMANJENA AND OBSESSED ABOUT THEM THE ENTIRE TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, WE COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING QUITE AS GOOD. POUFS SIMILAR TO THE ONES SHOWN CAN BE FOUND HERE.

CANYON CLUB CHAIR WITH SADDLE LEATHER AND AN ALUMINUM BASE. CLEAN AND MODERN AND STILL A LITTLE SOMETHING YOU DON'T EXPECT.
