Currently On My Radar...

May 13, 2020/ Meryl

In March I shared delightful pattern and pillows - Today I’m sharing accounts that always offer an infusion of brilliant design. I’m sure you’ll want to ogle them too! You’re Welcome!

When I’m not being inspired by Instagram or Reading I’m enjoying programing through You Tube - I am an active watcher with subscriptions to different channels. A few based in design: Architectural Digest, At Charlotte’s House, Quintessence, House & Garden, House & Home, Magnolia, Sarah Richardson. Some museums: American Museum of Natural History, Great Museums and The Met of course. I follow the Christie’s auction house channel which shares so much beauty. The Hello Sunshine channel by Reese Witherspoon, New York Magazine, Wanderlust Travel Videos and I also located a channel that has a ton of the British Gardens - which I’m obsessed with… if this sheltering in place continues into summer I may pick up a trowel! Click the links friends and enjoy!

Would you forward this post to someone - the internet is vast my friends! Take care and continue to be safe! Til next time! xo

Pink Houses

April 15, 2020/ Meryl

Friends I am not shy about my love of pink… over the weekend I painted the stair-hall heading down to the basement Pink Prism with left over paint from last years project. (No, I haven’t been to Home Depot). I know we all need some pretty - so this week I’ve gathered images of buildings that embrace my favorite hue! Click for source. Enjoy!

I have to laugh - Tiny’s is the most popular saved building I have in my IG Pink Album.

Til next time please continue to stay home and stay safe. If you do need to go out please stay 6 feet away from everyone you do not live with and wear a face covering - please wipe everything off before bringing into your home.

Take care. xo

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

April 01, 2020/ Meryl

Recently I was thinking about the collages I pull together every Friday on Instagram and how they’re my version of a mood board - which led me to search my saved images - and low and behold look at these beauties - how I wish I had an office where I could devote wall space to boards like these.

I’ve always been a person who saved images, curated bits. I am a chronic keeper of paper, postcards, ribbons, pieces of fabric, cards, trinkets. As a child I always had a bulletin board and I still do - I have cork surrounding the mirror on the inside of my bedroom closet door. I also have all manner of stuff stuck into the edges of mirror too!

Pinterest is one gigantic electronic bulletin board and while I do have a Pinterest feed, I much prefer saving images into Albums on IG. I tend to organize by color.
