Dylan...


This may be one of my favorite posts! I dedicate this to my beautiful loving sister; Bethany! Why...because she shares this common passion and reasoning for loving Bob Dylan and all that he has to offer to our past, present, and future generations.
He is one of my personal favorite icon legends who I will continue to grow with through all stages of my life... Not just for his songwriting; but for his movements, poise, and talented poetic way of viewing and looking at why God blessed us with this life and ways to live, cherish, and speak out about it!
I remember listening to his original Folk Records prior to my teen years in my Dad's basement-piled with the Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton, and John Lennon classics..and felt connected and drawn to his 'Minnesota-twang. Born in a time where many didn't speak out; Dylan became the icon of Anti-war & Civil Rights..and clearly put a mark on dramatically changing our history of music, entertainment, and political lifestyle. He incorporated a variety of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences in his works. He is an artist. True Poet. Outstanding Songwriter. Minnesotan. Political Changer. Folk-Musician. and lastly; My Favorite....

Home Sweet Home

I would say my favorite place to date is....back HOME at my Dads farm!

The more I'm away, the more I crave it!
The cows are real. The air is fresh. The stuff is old. The food is good. The life is great!
It's country-It's vintage-It's broken-It's hardworking-It's American.
It's a Good old'fashioned Great way of living!








The Modern'Vintage Home

I grew up loving antiques, refinished furniture, and gilded moldings! But I also married someone who loves white walls, high ceilings, and modern architecture. When I seen these photos from HouseBeautiful, I fell in love with the modern details and vintage flares throughout the entire house that both myself and husband could enjoy! I adore how they paired crystal chandeliers in every room with subtle tone-on-tone hues, gold framing, and a neutral color palettes ...Perfecto!

To Banquette....Or not Banquette?!

My latest client is in need of a banquette for her seating area...I'm debating between that or a settee- since she only needs it for casual "bar" seating with scattered cocktail tables anchored with zebra print chairs! (classic)
To banquette...or not banquette ?!
