Designer Denims

Going from denim "art" yesterday to another kind of denim "art" today with a few examples of artistic designs from the some of the world's top couturiers - Chanel, Balmain, Leonard, Basico, McQueen and Dior to name a few.

From the simplest, chicest looks to quilting, embroidery, beading and applique, we can see and appreciate the true "jeanius" of creativity.

Enjoy!

(P.S.  Stay tuned for tomorrow's denim street wear!)

Glenn Beach Cottage

Good morning, Everyone!

I'm back home again!  Had a fun ten days with our very busy grandchildren........the time flew by and here I am attempting to get back into a routine.....if there's such a thing!

It seems to snow here every other day and while the 5" of snow we received on Sunday is quickly disappearing with all the rain we've had since, more snow is forecast for this Thursday and Friday!  

I have another cottage from The Cottage Company of Harbor Springs today.  This cottage is a makeover and larger than the cottages I featured previously.

Vee Mossburg has taken it from a very colorful cottage to a more neutral palette.  The color scheme was taken from the Swedish mora clock in the foyer, which was the inspiration for the colors throughout.

The whole house is wood just as houses were built before the days of gyproc and MDF - ceilings, floors and walls are filled with beadboard, shiplap, wainscoting, mouldings, baseboards and hardwood floors.

Beautiful detail!

Love the dining table in front of the fireplace.

Have a great day!
