i heart vintage drinkware

Vintage glasses, decanters, and the like just seem so charming. There is something sweetly glamorous about sipping champagne from a lovely etched saucer, or enjoying your morning glass of orange juice from a pretty floral tumbler. I've always collected such glasses, and I plan to start up a new collection, when I return to Australia. Some of my old favorites are now in my mom's cupboards, and I can use them while visiting, which is a comfort. I'm sure I'll find new pretties in Oz, to bring a little sparkle to daily life.

Copper brings such warmth to a space. For a long time, I was a silver kinda gal. It took me a while to appreciate gold. Now I'm finding myself falling for copper. Maybe because copper's warm tones remind me of autumn leaves, or maybe because it is just a little something different. In any case, there are some wonderful stylish copper designs out there now, and I'm enjoying seeing them. I'm especially enamored by Tom Dixon's copper pendant light (top image). I would love to have one in the Dream House, maybe in the kitchen. What do you think? Are you into the copper trend?

outdoor living




















Although summer is winding down here in the States, I know those of you living in warmer climates will be spending lots of time enjoying the outdoors, for a while longer. So here is a little outdoor living inspiration for you. I'm hoping to be to returning to Australia, in a few months, to be with my fiance, when it will be summer there, --and nice and hot! (Too hot, really!)

As I mentioned the other day, I have been going through some old books and magazines, and scanning some favorite images. So here are some lovely rooms for you.
