my friend Jami at freckled laundry

is doing a series of posts on

identifying vintage design styles...

she inspired me to identify my our style!

let's start with...colour...



warm tones with rust & greige

oatmeal w/ cinnamon & coffee...

(so most of you know i am 59... i {LoVe} this shoe...

i once had a collection of many like this and

 wore them with hip hugger bell bottoms...

oh what a feeling!)

~ ooops back to O & R~

 the photo, from...Anthropologie...

the best at

mixing textiles, textures, finishes,

old & new...truly EcLecTic magic!

the place that makes me feel like

 i'm dancing...on 42nd street!

Good Morning...pretty wall clock that we purchased in
Alabama when we were newly weds (around 1974)!

mr dreams and i have been collecting antique

accent pieces and art for over 37 years now.

we just cannot abandon our keepsakes

and memories. so i guess what i am saying is

it's going to be fun carrying our 70's, 80's & 90's

acquisitions into this 2011 up cycle!

our Tony Turpin watercolor...mr d. and i
spent our life savings on this (220.00)...we were in our 20's
way before kids... (no, we weren't hippies).

it's a perfect depiction of old meeting new...

so it's the hallmark of our

newly defined...
