{idea notebook} windsors in full color

I am loving this look! Brightly colored Windsor chairs are so terribly cool, fresh and fun! They are amazing with a wonderfully modern, Scandinavian influenced table. I would also love them surrounding a long farmhouse table or a shiny white Saarinen... Love it!

{inspiration} A Casual Gathering

One of the simple pleasures in life is gathering with family and friends. I love when this happens spontaneously... on a whim... when a meal is thrown together with the contents of your refrigerator. The tables above are perfect reflections of this ease; effortless gathering when centerpieces are simple and chairs can be mismatched. I am loving the use of old fabric as table coverings, pitchers filled with fresh cut flowers, flea market art work filling the walls, an unset table with stacks of plates and silverware, vintage bowls of fresh green fruit... it is undone and relaxed...like a lazy afternoon. Have a wonderful week everyone!
