ditto :: a classic boy’s room
Monday, November 1, 2010 by {darlene}

I love this Plaid inspired boy’s room.
At least, that is how I see it: a room for a young man coming into his own. {Although it would make an amazing guest room as well.}  I am thinking, it would be awesome to pull some of these elements into his room, a bit at a time. You know. To grow things up.

Ditto. {what I would steal from this room}:
1. The black lampshades. Easy but bold.
2. The mahogany all-grown-up side table. {hmm. I would probably do one with some storage}
3. The black framed hunting prints.
4. The wool, plaid, brown-color-schemed blanket.
5. I would keep the window treatments unobtrusive and subtle {you can’t exactly go without window treatments in most bedrooms} by adding plantation shutters, or good-quality, white, roll-up shades.
6. The crisp, pure-white sheets with a strong presence. I love how they make an impact with the doubled-up pillows and the bold sheet fold-over.

beautiful thought
Friday, October 29, 2010 by {darlene}

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful,
for beauty is God’s handwriting.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson




the first time I read these words, my soul cried Yes!
Never apologize for loving beautiful things.
Just remember who Created them.

objects :: pewter serve-ware
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 by {darlene}

I was delighted to find these pewter serving pieces for a song at a local consignment shop.
I love pewter.

I find it warm and cool, all at once. But, most of all, I love it because each piece seems to have history, as if there is some great story behind it.

…and that is beautiful, whether your home is 180 years old or not.

try throwing a bit of pewter/a little bit of history into your space.
