Beauty at The Breakers!

While at lunch today at the glorious Breakers in Palm Beach, I couldn't resist plunging nose first into the entry arrangement of coral and pink roses (along w/hydrangeas, etc) and smelling their glorious fragrance! Furthermore, my handy dandy small camera is being borrowed at the moment so I had to snap a pic with my iphone. Not too shabby. These beauties must be changed out weekly ... I wish I had their floral budget for my own home! Simply stunning! Have a beautiful weekend! -BH

Restoration Chic!

I am loving the new French inspired furnishings and accessories at Restoration Hardware these days! I've comprised a collage of some of my musings! Check out the site and look at the design galleries as well as the accessories and other objets d'art! Creating a fantastic tablescape is oftentimes overlooked by many people because it seems like a daunting task or people just don't know how to "accessorize". Well, look no further because RH has some amazing tabletop, shelf, and wall decor to give any interior a much more refined, sophisticated look. And please, don't call accessories "knick knacks", "chotchkies", "bric-a-brac"or any other trite word that may sound like some cheap find at a garage sale. Thank you. -BH

Collage: Clockwise - Marseilles Chair, Versailles Domed Chair, Vintage French Globe, Florentine Carved Wood Candlesticks, Dressmaker's Form, Vintage French Round Armchair

Accessories: From top - Woven Rattan Bowl, Fishing Weights, Crystal Ball Bookends, 1930s Solid Wood Airplane Propeller, Leather Bucket and Tote, Solid Wood Spheres

Now we know how the other half lives during the Easter holiday.... Bespoke white, milk, and dark chocolate eggs will probably be at each of the Armani's place settings on Easter Sunday. You can buy your own at the Armani Casa Flagship store on  Fifth Avenue until the end of May. Talk about one tres chic Easter basket! -BH
