A Penchant For Purple Transferware!

I was reading a lovely design book by Ann Grafton who is the creative director behind the wonderful GP & J Baker. Her book Interior Transformations is filled with classic English style, and what would an English space be without a bit of transferware!  In the chapter on color changes Grafton takes a all cream space and gives it an instant color change by adding hints of gray and purple and a lovely display of Purple(Mulberry) Transferware.  I forgot how much I love that color transferware! It's fun and gives a space instant personality. What is your favorite color transferware? Let me know, and have a great weekend! Tune in Monday as I will be posting images by a fabulous photographer that you wont want to miss!

Hammertown-Love Where You Live!

There is a store in Rhinebeck NY that I always have to visit when I am up checking on the antique booth, and that is Hammertown!  It is an eclectic mix of everything that one would need for a cool, comfortable and chic home.  They have a mix of basics from Mitchell Gold, Lee, and Cisco but have also mixed some very unique artisan pieces and floor coverings that are simply wonderful.

They have great vignettes set up so that one may envision what their space can potentially look like, and amazing accessories to fill any space.  I also love the unique art that is displayed from talented artists and photographers. 

Hammertown has three locations-Pine Plains-NY, Rhinebeck-

NY, and Great Barrington in the Berkshires.

Okay, so you dont live near any of these great stores!...No problem they also have a web site Hammertown.com!

Now you can also learn how to achieve Hammertown style without visiting a store too! The talented designers (Joan Osofsky and Abby Adams of Hammertown just published a fabulous book,"Love Where You Live-At Home In The Country"!  I am on the list now to get this great book due out in September and you can too by visiting Hammertown's website!   Here is a little glimpse of one of my favorite stores, Hammertown Rhinebeck!

The New Book!

HAMMERTOWN!
