Could you just die for this plate? I have never seen anything like it!!!



But, as I get older, I give myself permission more and more to go all white, maybe with just a hint of color:





It's hard to do in my house with my leather and tapestry couch and chair and heavy antique wood dining table, but I work it in wherever I can and when in doubt, I paint it white. When I am buying something new for the house, I choose white. It all started when I was a little girl visiting family in Ohio, and we went into this place called 'Lenora & Larissa'. I'll never ever forget it. Everything was white, old linens, huge feathery beds, creaky wood floors, lavender and powder scents in the air, I was in heaven. I never forgot the feeling that store gave me. As I said, as I get older I give myself permission to go all white. I can't wait till I'm living {someday, not soon} in an all white environment. Yum.
But I'm also loving the bohemian granny chicness of these images, most from Atlanta Bartlett:




How nice to have choices! Hope you're all well. My sister is in labor so I'm playing the waiting game. Hope to have an update soon!
Love,
Kari

LOVE that first plate and the blue dresser is fabulous!!!
Great pictures! I love the baskets under the console table. I have a similar console and always felt like it was "empty" underneath. I would love to have baskets like that under it.
Best wishes to your sister!
I am so there with you, I too love some color but white works! It goes with everything and always looks so fresh!
