Random and a Poppy

A collection of images in my picture files that don't really fit anywhere else.
Probably why I like them so much.

 this is just so yummy...I wish I was wearing a lace dress and white tights and it was my party

I love the styling and need to own those gold rock book ends

this is an add for John Robshaw textile and it's brilliant

light, antique marble fireplace, painted logs- no more needs to be said

this kelly green wallpaper literally makes me weep...add the vintage lamps, mirrored vanity, and lucite chair...dying

I am wild about the silhouettes and the ornate moulding just makes the whole scene a sight for sore eyes

Etsy headquarters- and here I thought it wasn't possible to love them any more than I already do

delicate, pretty and something about it feels like home to me

a hotel in Caracas- it's just such breathtaking architecture
(I inadvertently saved this without a source so if it is your picture, please let me know and I will credit)

 blogger Jane Aldridge (Sea of Shoes) in perhaps the best Halloween costume I have ever seen
(Baby Jane Hudson from 'What Happened to Baby Jane')

 um, it's a gold kitchen island for god sakes- ridiculous in the best possible way

my bedside table- I liked the vibrancy of the colours in this shot

this photograph by Ivo Mayr Oslo makes me chuckle every time I look at it

And on a seperate note....remembering my grampa today xoxo
Happy Remembrance/Veteran's Day

make sure you do as these two did and wear your poppy today

I hope this post wasn't too all over the place for you.  My 2 year old angel/monster boy was up most of the night so my thought process was/is a little scattered...then again, I always think in tangents so this isn't really anything out of the norm and it's sometimes fun to just post cool pictures.
In other news, the first step in kitchen renovation is happening today; the cabinets are being measured up so that a layout drawing can happen for next week- soooo excited!
And, daughter is off to a commercial audition this morning. Fingers crossed everyone xo
