HOME DECOR: KITCHENS - THE SINK

I had to take a little break from the kitchen series - it was taking over my life.... but, here is the final posting in the series - a look ...

12:56 AM

HOME DECOR: Some of my favorite things....

I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite things with you. I soon discovered I had far too many to put into one post... but here are a few and I'll share more later. I would love to discover your favorite things, too. What are the things that delight, intrigue and inspire you? <em><span style="color: #663300;">Please leave me a note about your favorite things in 'comments' at the end of this article. I am so looking forward to learning what you love! </span></em><br /><br /><div align="center">(enlarge a photo for a closer look by clicking on it) </div><div align="center"><span style="color: #339999;"><strong>ALL THINGS APOTHECARY</strong></span></div><div align="center">What is it about that word that is so intriguing?

There are a variety of places to find the glass jars, and I have found many at discount stores such as HomeGoods, Marshalls, TaiPan Trading, Shinoda, Steinmart, etc., you just have to keep your eye out for them. Pier 1 has also carried them. You can pay more for them if you want. Many higher end home and decor stores also carry them - at twice the price. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihuMKj8ZGv1qfGtRlqc6DADKR2Pqe6wXLu7N0mZTEHAGo-A0IpCRhGr-B2P_5_ccLDdBCATzMxRexqv_wGx9rKr1DYb2g_aEE8xEXIpT03Eif840qnABARL11EMLC4t9oOg5Krg0HQyzI/s1600-h/apothecary+jar+easter+002.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361974424806556946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihuMKj8ZGv1qfGtRlqc6DADKR2Pqe6wXLu7N0mZTEHAGo-A0IpCRhGr-B2P_5_ccLDdBCATzMxRexqv_wGx9rKr1DYb2g_aEE8xEXIpT03Eif840qnABARL11EMLC4t9oOg5Krg0HQyzI/s320/apothecary+jar+easter+002.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 389px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 324px;" /></a> I love their versatility for seasonal decor.

While we are here ... don't you just LOVE LEMONS? I love their shape, smell, color and most foods containing lemons. The smell of their blossoms ... heavenly. I actually had my ears pierced in the Samoan islands with a lemon thorn when I was a teenager. I felt very brave - I made them numb my ear with ice first, though. The thorn was pushed into and through the ear, then broken - leaving a little stick in my ear which I had to swab with coconut oil and twist several times daily as it healed. Somewhere along the way the thorn was replaced with earrings. </div><div>Now a machine pierces the ear and pops the earring in all at once. </div><div>Sooo much easier - but not as nice smelling as the coconut oil.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLLm5-lpdnqZ0h2xCEZpAhJfk8F2uTOykq39ElVc3g08_7LzD-vNbHceQ0tMQnGlSHUFdK6gRHPLZzFZcJDMj2gIsGZvwtb7FawaWl7pmYbuQr4f1PfG35D6SVhWXDVQ1Od6qj-IDBTKo/s1600-h/G6916-G6920-copy.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361974406716546802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLLm5-lpdnqZ0h2xCEZpAhJfk8F2uTOykq39ElVc3g08_7LzD-vNbHceQ0tMQnGlSHUFdK6gRHPLZzFZcJDMj2gIsGZvwtb7FawaWl7pmYbuQr4f1PfG35D6SVhWXDVQ1Od6qj-IDBTKo/s320/G6916-G6920-copy.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 401px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 337px;" /></a>So, back to the subject.... apothecary jars.

That french countryside/vineyard look with the stone floors, plastered walls, and earthenware pottery alongside fine antiques, polished pewter, iron chandeliers and crystals - well, it makes me swoon a little. I love the contrasts of something fine alongside something a little primitive and timeworn.

The gently decaying old french chateau, the boxwood edged garden, the cyprus trees, the way it draws you into the picture, makes you want to walk up that pathway to the house and see what is inside... I could live there -- provided it was located in Southern California.

It is charming, it is romantic, it is about recognizing the good things in life and best of all, it is set in Provence at a 'decaying chateau'. It is a favorite of mine. Not only is the story delightful, but the second time through I nearly wore out the pause button while I poured over the authentic rooms, furnishings, draperies, walls, pots and grounds of the estate. I could also live there - provided it was in So Cal. </div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362288932836743986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPD7pamDEverJf7lsZ7RUUQPBHIw9IG_VjXYGPIuvPjc8r7l1d-kJ5_4TfLqzsuBhc-Yu-Go94x1OOFGYXA6nKy0dz7K-hqKSrgFufVlPvkP4pU1dAkWjgP_rJWNk-UgQfobjCm1nPsg/s320/AGY_1_800.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 347px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 414px;" /> <br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color: #339999;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #339999;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #339999;"><strong>VINTAGE BOOKS WITH ILLUSTRATED COVERS</strong></span></div><div align="center">Around the turn of the 19th century (1900-1925) these clothbound books with elaborate cover art and gold leaf accents were plentiful.

Even though you may not be familiar with the fairy tale this illustration by Kay Nielsen refers to, your mind creates its own story as you are drawn into this painting - the deep dark woods, the one little whimsical tree, the maiden - alone and in sorrow... Kay Nielsen was a scandinavian artist. His work was detailed and often had a definite art deco feel to it. He is one of my favorite artist/illustrators. </div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_heY_-W19D1zcLRlMFmVm2DZo3YpP2VzyIN05jMNLudYwpL53HDrExpwQprnNwIr-_5YYRpCreU3AMaoEK4KlfjWC7RgO3X4t7BNv0mAk8jm7ckGhlNz6Nlnt27_FM_Gb9bbeBWWXuQ/s1600-h/KAYNIE~1.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361968762875988034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_heY_-W19D1zcLRlMFmVm2DZo3YpP2VzyIN05jMNLudYwpL53HDrExpwQprnNwIr-_5YYRpCreU3AMaoEK4KlfjWC7RgO3X4t7BNv0mAk8jm7ckGhlNz6Nlnt27_FM_Gb9bbeBWWXuQ/s320/KAYNIE~1.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 391px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 315px;" /></a> Kay Nielsen is no longer with us, but James Christensen is a contemporary artist (and was also my sister's college art teacher) who has the same ability to capture the essence of the story in his art. This piece is the story of the 10 lepers, who after being miraculously healed, ran off rejoicing, celebrating and completely wrapped up in themselves - forgetting the Healer. All, that is, except for one, who hesitated and then returned to thank Him. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskhdJt7wCc3D8yteLK7ODqWdgZHdNGUoxwhvIQsmm_PCm2lEcGZMsFd16O0xvQLB4VT588U_MXhksH6Nw1SGSF8sI7KrgCJP01lAyc2cJw2CupZeZfX4cH-7ZP3QBM5BPR2-JkKAia5s/s1600-h/christensen%2520-%2520the%2520lepers,%2520the.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361968757579765170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskhdJt7wCc3D8yteLK7ODqWdgZHdNGUoxwhvIQsmm_PCm2lEcGZMsFd16O0xvQLB4VT588U_MXhksH6Nw1SGSF8sI7KrgCJP01lAyc2cJw2CupZeZfX4cH-7ZP3QBM5BPR2-JkKAia5s/s320/christensen%2520-%2520the%2520lepers,%2520the.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 197px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 427px;" /></a> How many of us go about our lives and fail to see the miracles around us? <br /><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">So, those are a few of my favorite things... sounds kind of like a song...</div><div align="center">I would love to hear about the things you love... so please, click on <em>'comments' </em>below and tell me what you find lovely, delightful and what makes you swoon...</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">As always, my best to you</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Claudine</div><div align="left"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
