Hello friends. I have been a busy working bee.
I am pooped!
I am sorry I have not had to much time to visit.
I miss everyone.
I am so grateful for this day!
Here are some sneak peaks of different styles and vignettes I recently created.
More to come!
One great thing about design is you get to live vicariously through your clients, and also when you style
stores, often changing different looks without having to buy 10 homes! Lol…
Someday huh?
My favorite cow paintings and a country theme.
So cute!!!
Victorian Chic
I love this chippy mantel.
Stunning shade.
Moroccan with a little nautical!
Great burlap ottomans.
I love these blue and white ginger jars.
I will be sharing a new clients home soon,
and also some not so new clients homes. I need more hours in a day… lol
Ok, on to other news…
This recipe is for the talented special amazing women I was so fortunate enough to work with this weekend on
a VERY
special project!
Thank you for making an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity so much fun!
SOON to share!!!
Hope you gals like this Tomato and Butter Bean Salad
Ingredients:
4 Tomatoes
1 Can Butter Beans ( my sister’s idea)
Fresh Basil
Dried Basil
Olive oil
Garlic
Salt & Pepper
Lemon
Fresh basil.
Gorgeous tomatoes.
Rinse butter beans.
Tip:
I read somewhere that it is not healthy to eat tomatoes seeds.
I was taught to cut the meat of the tomatoes skin like this.
Then cut into slices.
Toss butter beans, tomatoes, chopped basil, as much dried basil as you prefer.
Cover with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze some lemon juice,
and wala.
Great summer salad!
I want to also wish my talented dear friend Leslie a speedy recovery.
She is going into surgery on Thursday, and we all wish her well.
I will pray for you!
Have a beautiful day my friends.
Always,
I love this recipe! Anything with beans that I can throw together and bring for a grab and go lunch. My daughter in law makes one with shrimp, lime, celery, scallions, dried chilies and cilantro that is yummy too served over lettuce or as lettuce wraps. Thanks, Jennifer jennsthreegraces

I do love all these looks! Looking at the pillows in the chairs, I'm thinking blue and white or blue and cream/beige is going to be quite big this coming year.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Oh Lu, these are just absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the first couple of pics, it actually looks like those sweet cows are grazing on the potted greenery. :-)
I have just one question for you now...
When you can you be here to re-design MY casa???

Anne
Yummie !!!!...........hugs from Ria
ReplyDeleteI am definitely drawn to the Victorian aesthetic..beautiful. I like the sound of your recipe, I'll definitely try it. Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteI must try this recipe. I have one similar but I add pasta and I use cannelini beans. Are those the same?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how bad I've been looking for the perfect cow print.... and I should have known you would feature it on your blog!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE {my family thinks i've lost my mind searching for a cow print.... which makes me search harder LOL
ReplyDeletethanks for the delicious looking recipe,
xo,
LuLu
I'd love to know where to find some cow prints like that?????
ReplyDeleteI love this post...love it!!! LOVE the cow print!
Hi Lulu,
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am in love with the top two photos! That room is just gorgeous. If I had the money I would re-do my home in that style.
Beautiful photos, you did an awesome job on the decor!
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
That salad will be on my summer eating list!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that salad sounds delish! Love those cows..I paint cows and other animals, so yeah, love those cows!
ReplyDeleteAh, those burlap ottomans. You have given me some inspiration. I saw some fabric, a sort of barlap, sack, hessian type stuff at the local hardware store, it would be perfect! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI really like that lamp for some odd reason. It is just so cute! The salad looks wonderful! I do something similar to that but with garbanzo beans instead of the butter beans. My youngest loves tomatoes and garbanzo beans!
ReplyDeleteI love the coffee table that looks like a basket and the burlap ottomans. I can't wait to see the homes you decorated!
ReplyDeleteI really like the cow paintings and the way you did the country theme. Cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, I need you to come decorate my house. Gorgeous work, lady!
ReplyDeleteThose cows are to die for!!!! Totally want to redo what I just did all because of those cows...You are so good at what you do girl-keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI love all that you share!!! It is just beautiful...loving those pillows too! That recipe looks soooo yummy! You do a great job at it all!
ReplyDeleteI love every look..really. Maybe that's what I need..clients. Then that way I can play often and never spend a dime. Sounds like fun! Have a great weekend sweet friend~ xoxox Susie
