A MODERN TABLE FOR THANKSGIVING

Via Spot On Events

In about 2-1/2 days is Thanksgiving… Are you ready for the celebration?! How about all that preparation?! Decoration? Cleaning? And COOKING?! I don’t know if I am… especially because I haven't been feeling well the last 3 days. To find motivation for myself I did a little research on the Internet for inspiration on table decorations. I would like to try something a little bit more modern… I got some wonderful ideas from some lovely other bloggers!

Via Entertaining Chic


Via Serenity in Design


Via Savvy Housekeeping

If you think that the arrangement of the tables above are too modern for your taste, you can try this option below, which is a little bit more traditional.  It has really warm colors...



Via Dwellings and Decor

 Or, if your taste is more towards a 'country style' look how charming the one below is!

GET THE LOOK OF THE MODERN TABLES

If you are interested into this more modern way for Thanksgiving tables, I also found some sources with accessories that you could try to ‘get the look’ of those beautiful tables! What you would need to do is just to run to stores, shop for the items, and the just use a little bit of your creativity! After that just wait for the “WOWS” of your guests!  Then after...  it is all about the ‘Turkey’, as you know already!!!

SONG OF THE WEEK # 5

A celebration of Bossa Nova style…
Taken by me in Bahia - Brazil - Sunset, Walk at the Beach


For those who do not know yet or never that listened this kind of music _ Bossa Nova is a Brazilian style of music created by Joao Gilberto and popularized by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. It was a movement of music originated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from about 1958 to about 1963. Even though it lasted for a short period of time it has influenced the music world until now.




 HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

THE REVEALING OF THE KIPS BAY DECORATOR SHOW HOUSE 2010

LISA KERESZI PHOTOGRAPHY
Note: Art photography on the wall of room 12A
LOVE IT!

This past week was the last week of the show! I knew I couldn’t miss it! So I went there on the last day! Overall, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but that is the kind of show that we designers and decorators should not fail to notice, in my opinion… The great designers of the area are going to be exhibiting their styles live, and that’s why I think we should go and check them out with our own eyes! It was my first experience going to a show house in New York City! I know that the high-end decoration approach of New Yorkers is generally formal, elegant, and traditional, including a bit of contemporary tendencies.

Here I grabbed photos from Internet sources because, unfortunatley, I wasn't allowed to take my own photos. I would like to invite you {if you did not have a chance to visit it this year} to tour the house; and please leave your comments!
