Designers Bringing Sexy Back!

I cannot believe that it's the end of Summer! Where did it go? It was a Summer of loss and change yet I don't want it to go away. I thought I would leave you with some sexy furniture to ease the end of Summer blues. These designers have done a wonderful job of creating timeless yet sexy pieces. I hope you like them as much as I do. I wish everyone a lovely and safe last weekend of Summer. Cheers!

Hood Wink!

We are in the process of helping a client replace an existing range hood. Do you remember anything "wink" worthy growing up when it came to range hoods in our kitchens, not I!  These days the sky is the limit when it comes to range hoods. Hoods can be simple or ornate, metal or stone and even plaster! It is amazing the design thought that goes into something that is now the center of our kitchen. I found some amazing hoods out there! What's your favorite hood simple or go for broke?  Name your favorite from 1 -15. Happy Hump and Hood Day!

Feeling Foxy!

We all know that Summer is coming to an end! We don't want to admit it but Fall is around the corner. I even hear my little Fox friends have been making quite a ruckus lately in the evening, I think they know that their season is almost here! In Hunterdon County we have an abundance of these fluffy tailed sneaky little Foxes. I have seen them many a morning scurrying through my back yard and even chasing my poor Remy up a tree! I still can't help but love them. It is coming up on Hunt Season as well here in New Jersey. My daughter will occasionally ride with the Amwell Valley Hounds in a Hunter Pace, but never a Fox is caught, thank goodness! 
Since the leaves will soon be changing and the colors will turn to a glorious rust I thought it fitting to pay tribute to the little Fox who will hide amongst the foliage during this soon to be Autumn. Enjoy!

A lovely Little Hunterdon Fox!

New Love For Old Flooring!

I guess I have always been attracted to antique flooring but it seems as of lately that I have become a bit obsessed with it! Although we love our old farmhouse and have been here for over 15 years we have been toying with the idea of moving on. We just cannot decide if moving on means finding another home or building from scratch!  While contemplating all of this I started day dreaming of what I would put in a new home if I had the chance to do it from the ground up. One thing is for sure, I would definitely use some old stone tile! I love that old stone really doesn't have a cold feel because of the worn quality and patina. After the number my adorable dogs did on all my hard wood flooring a change would be good.  Here are some dream rooms and definite dream floors that I could live with and enjoy for years.
