A Beach Cottage in Namibia, Africa - Home Tour

I was so excited when my good friend Inge Labuschagne, owner of the best frame shop in Richmond - Frame of Mind, sent me her fabulous photos! Take a peek inside her gorgeous oceanfront condo in Swakopmund, Namibia, Africa.

Notice anything familiar? Yes, my blue crab and red crab paintings have made it all the way to Africa! Woo hoo ~

LOVE the polka dots and stripes....

and the gorgeous mosaic tile around the mirror... check out the fabulous wash basin too!

Thank you Inge for sharing your lovely condo with us. I only have one question...

When are we planning the girl's trip?

A huge thank you to CasaSugar for posting the slideshow today as well!

Stripe it Rich

Needless to say, these nautically inspired Pretty Ballerina flats are calling my name. I think stripes might be my newest addiction. Ahoy Matey!

Take a Chance

As I mentioned, I'm going on a cruise soon. Details to come shortly but in the meantime, all I can think about is anything red, white and blue or nautical. I've already bought one striped shirt and I think I will be buying some more from Chance soon. Not only does Julia Leach have the best selection of shirts and dresses but she has the chicest website. She spent eleven years as the creative director of Kate Spade so I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less. I am absolutely in love with these images from her portrait series. I'm going to have to figure out how to get invited to the next one. Looks like it was a blast!

Map Quest: Part Deux

When I posted about maps in the post Map Quest two years ago, I only had a few examples to share. Now there are not only more examples of maps as art and wallpaper but also maps painted on walls and ceilings. If papering an entire bedroom as Steven Gambrel did above seems daunting, you could always try it in a small powder room. Even easier is just hanging a framed map on a wall. The best part is that you'll always know where you're going. Enjoy!

Nautical Chic

You didn't really think I could stop at just one nautical post did you?! I grew up in a home with paintings of ships and boats, scrimshaw, and Nantucket Lightship baskets (which is kind of funny since Pennsylvania is a landlocked state) and the love of everything nautical has stayed with me. I have my own collection of seascapes but I have nothing on these interiors which feature paintings and other fun accessories, especially the Ralph Lauren room above! Ahoy mateys!
