Donald Kirkby Vignettes

Hi there,

Thought you might enjoy some antique vignettes for a change.

Donald Kirkby is an international interior designer, antique dealer and editorial stylist living in British Columbia and has an amazing eye for original finds and vignettes.  Many of the items in the images below are for sale and you can see more of his items here.

I have some tearouts from some older magazines of more of his work, which I will try and post on Throwback Thursday.

Enjoy!

Celerie Kemble's Playa Grande Beach Club

Celerie Kemble's new family oriented resort in the Dominican Republic is a must see.

It is designed with a great deal of charm, fun, color and casual flair that accommodates people of all ages.  Some of the clubhouse rooms, guest bungalows, family quarters and gathering spots are shown below.

To see more of this whimsical getaway, go here.

Could this possibly be any more inviting?

Carolyne Roehm's Tables and Flowers

Who does more beautiful table settings and floral arrangements than Carolyne Roehm?

I loved her table setting in Aspen where she used broccoli, kale and parsley for her table setting, and added a bunch of green apples to match her gorgeous green dishes and glassware.  Just beautiful.

 I think this conservatory is actually at Weatherstone, but is a perfect example of decorating with greens - ferns and topiaries in this case.

 This table setting is in Aspen where most of her fresh ingredients are picked up at the grocery store.  Beautiful!

And then I happened upon her beautiful tulip arrangements and reminder that it's time to plant our fall bulbs.  The lavender and green caught my eye!
