It's time for another White Wednesday...

...this is quickly becoming one of my favorite days. Have you ever noticed how many shades of white and off white there are? It's mind-boggling...and when used in decorating this look can be many things...shabby, vintage, elegant, calming, casual, beachy, cottage, country...and I love it all!

I've finally convinced my husband to let me paint a faded caramel color on the wall...if he only knew the look I was going for:-)

Another white dining room I would love...

I can't help but think about Christmas when I see this... Only 99 days, 9 hours and 3 min until Christmas day as I write this. hahaha

Pottery Barn does know how to do white ornaments, don't they?

And finally, a book I am looking forward to reading...

Vintage Ceiling Tiles...

A few years ago, my friend Pam and I went to our favorite salvage yard, Adam & Eve Salvage. We wandered around those yards filled with architectural salvage, pretending to be Rachel Ashwell from Shabby Chic. Well, at least that's what I was doing:-) We both bought a few pieces of ceiling tiles that were truly shabby, tattered and worn and they sat in our garages for the longest time.
We knew they were awesome but what did we do with them? Oh my gosh...if only I had those tiles now. I knew they made mirrors and picture frames but look at what some very creative people have done with their tiles...
