last week, i had the pleasure of having lunch at a gorgeous home, owned by a gorgeous designer and antique dealer...my friend ellen.i know christmas is over, but those of you who appreciate fine design and vintage items would love this place for sure and i have, have to share it with you!
after sipping on mimosa's...french onion soup and a wonderful salad with bourbon soaked apples and walnuts was served for lunch in this SPECTACULAR dining room.
ellen has exquisite tastes and her attention to detail is out of this world!
every where i looked was a feast for the eyes...
her talent for creating artful vignettes,
to keep things fresh and to quench her unending devotion to surrounding her family and friends with beauty, she changes her christmas theme every year.
the main tree is trimmed in vintage beauties...
scrumptious collections everywhere...
i so love the screened in porch!

small and large figurines of deer and the use of antlers in all her floral displays, including the outside decorations...
which i neglected to photograph.

Wow! Your table was gorgeous!!!! It must have been so enchanting sitting there on Christmas! Love the tinsel tree too ... magical and reminds me of my childhood. I may need to break it out next year.
Happy Holidays and many blessings!
What a beautiful setting, this looks like a real Christmas. The tiny trees on the table are gorgeous.

Erin,
Saying it's an amazing house is an understatement. I love her collections and you know that's really what turns me on. i have the same love of little houses, glass glitter and bottle brush trees. The brown and pink room for her daughter is the perfect combination of colors...it's sweet but sophisticated. Love it all! Thank you for showing us.

Is it possible to squeal and drool at the same time? Oh My Gosh, this home and furnishings are just AMAZING. But that pink Eastlake furniture is OVER the top gorgeous. I just love Eastlake and have a few pieces, but I would never have thought about the "feminine" paint palatte. Oh and the screened in porch with the fireplace. Aaaaahhhh. Just love it!
Thanks for the tour!
