Annechovie's Sihouettes

We all love Annechovie's Anne Harwell

And....

Anne Harwell

Recently posted on a new art series of hers.

I thought they would catch on ....

and create a whole new set of collectors.

::Silhouettes:: 

Miss Harwell's silhouettes would look better than these.

No?

From what I am reading, 

Annechovie's very art in silhouette

is ' trending ' right now.

Have you seen this recent post of Annechovie's?

Do you know anything about the history of silhouette or shadows?

There is a link below that will take you to some history,

as well as one that will take you directly to Annechovie.

13 Months

Have you

 had good, fair, to a not so good experience with a builder or contractor?

Or even a furniture manufacturer?

I was doing a clients home here in Florida 

across the street from the ocean in Delray Beach.

It was taking forever to finish this home.

We had to get the herring bone walnut floors done right,

the insets in the marble done.

And done right.

Expecting work 'done right' in South Florida is somewhat of an oxymoron.

Sorry Florida.

Only if you are using 'HIGH END' manufacturers, contractors, workrooms, and builders

can you expect good to perfect work.

And I need  'perfect' work'

Just remember there is no such thing as 'a deal,' 

or an unbelievably great price on something that requires any sort of skill.

Back to the builder....

beside the fact that he was a smug spoiled brat who was in his family's business...

the building of this house went on for 2 years.

It may have been 10,000 sq. ft.

but C'mon!!!!

{he had the same size crew working on the Delray house}

He kept telling me fibs daily about this and that. 

He said; " It takes a long time to do a home like this and of this size."

So...

I said;

 " Okay...You are a builder, and your family has been in the business

 here in Florida over 25 years. Right?"

 "That's right!!!" 

said the smug little 40 something brat.

I said;

 "I am sure that you know it only took 13 months to build the Empire State building. Right?"

You might ask me; "SO, what did he say then?"

He said nothing. Like most men when they are in the wrong.

DID YOU KNOW 

that the Empire State build was built in about 13 months?

Happy Weekend and Reader Questions Answered

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

HAPPY FRIDAY!



house to home



This is probably not an image that one would typically post smack dab in the middle of winter (actually it's probably not even the middle yet) but I couldn't resist.  It's snowing here again today, as it has almost every day for the last month, and the snow is white, pretty and all that, but this image makes me dream of the days when we'll see scenes like this again. :-) And how pretty is the honeysuckle in this image???!!!

On another note. I had some questions on the image above from this post.  I've already exchanged e-mails with the readers who asked the questions, but I thought some of you may want to know the answers too...

Question 1 -  Last week you showed a beautiful C picture, do you  know the author or how I could get in touch with the gallery?

Answer:  When she first asked this question, I could have sworn I had seen someone do a post on the origin of this sign but could not remember who for the life of me.  A few google searches turned up The Zhush's post, and she's got all the answers for you!  Find out all the details here...

Question 2 - Where can I find this coffee table?

Answer:  I think I found it at Jayson Home and Garden and it actually comes in three different sizes, but it's definitely not in the budget for the reader that asked (or for me).




This one from Wisteria is similar, but it only comes in white and is more of a side table size (although you could use two or three for a coffee table).  


Does anyone else have any ideas/sources for this table?

Unusual clock by Diamantini & Domeniconi

Diamantini & Domeniconi clocks often have some innovations in their design – that could be as innovations in time representation as innovations in materials the made from. Here are most of their clock models, some of which are new some not new, but all of them could find place in those homes whose owners like creative accessories in their decor. Clocks produced by Diamantini & Domeniconi always have something interesting and creative in their design. They create as modern conceptual products as clocks which take on classic designs. Such clocks could become a catchy accessory for any room design and make it look more interesting.
