Monday Must Share!

I cannot believe the weather men! I completely changed my plans this weekend based on this "storm" we were suppose to get. Well as I look out my window it's sunny! I guess the universe really wanted me to stay put for some reason. I guess NYC  will be later this week but meanwhile I have some Monday musing I want to share.  Happy Spring everyone!

I just got my sample tile pack from FIRECLAY Tile !
The are just gorgeous and the colors remind me of  a Belgium palette soft and gray green.

They even do embossed with great graphics!


If you haven't tried FIRECLAY please contact and ask for samples you will love them as much as I do, and the customer service is wonderful.

RECYCLE
I love interesting wine bottles such as these Gavi ones.
I clean them and use them as water carafes for dinner parties.

Obsessed with the relief over the old fireplace mantel in the Philadelphia Anthropologie
Its beyond gorgeous I wish I could frame is on put if over mine!


I adore this Etsy artist and the perfect combination of Spring colors in the abstract paintings.


Fun yellow chinoiserie lamps just in time for Spring!

Searching for stencils for a powder room project and found this- WOW!

Beautiful European style linen pillows with Spring embroidered colors!

Lastly, I have been searching for a vintage Peter Rabbit for years to replace the one I lost as a teenager in a house fire.  My mother every year would give us a wonderful collectible doll or animal and I had two favorites, "Scarlett Ohara" and "Peter Rabbit".
Both lost in a fire that occurred while I was at a prom. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and that is certainly true. Enough about me, how about this felt bunny! He is precious and handmade on Etsy better grab him before I do!
They have the most amazing felt pieces!

Spring Transtion

We are on the cusp of Spring! However, we have snow in the forecast and mixed weather to deal with. Do how does one achieve that Spring feeling in our interiors while still conforming to the weather at hand? I found the perfect Spring transitional room. It has touches of Spring while still remaining cozy for cold days. I also found some pieces that may help one transition from One Kings Lane. They certainly will add a little Spring in one's interior step. 
Have a great weekend! 
Enjoy the first day of Spring!

Favorite Irish Hotel - The Shelbourne

In light of Saint Patrick's Day I am sharing my favorite Irish hotel, "The Shelbourne".  We had the pleasure of staying there two years ago with my entire family and we all had a wonderful time.  
It's located on St. Stephen's Green across from the park so it's perfect for children too. The Shelbourne is a 5 Star Renaissance Hotel with updated rooms that where designed in keeping with the classic integrity of this historic place.  Dublin is such a fun city in and of itself but when paired with a great hotel like this  it's fantastic! 
Just check out these images of the hotel below and imagine it smelling just as gorgeous as it looks with their own signature candles wafting throughout the lobby. 
 Happy St Patrick's Day and luck of the Irish to you all!  The below images are a combination of my own and that of the Shelbourne's, enjoy.

They even had a design  board available to see what was used in the renovation

Our room was done very well and I took a few ideas home with me!

The girl's room was very chic, they loved it!
Cannot wait to go back soon.
