THERE IS A LOT TO LIKE


I met Brooke Giannetti when she first opened her

store GIANNETTI HOME and she has proved to be

an inspiration to me and many others ever since.

When you walk into the showroom it is easy to see

her love of antiques, beautiful fabrics and classic design.









infused with a bit of whimsy






Brooke is a fan of AIDAN GRAY HOME  and it

shows very well in her showroom


either a large chandelier


or this sweet four light chandelier


perfectly placed lamp


Brooke has a attention to detail and sense of style

that is evident every where you look







You can also find fun accessory pieces for yourself

or to give as gifts.









I could spend hours looking through her collection

of design books




birdcages are a welcome accessory with or without the bird




I am very partial to this light ficture from

the JUNKGIRLS  made from a aged patina Victrola




and works so well in this space

I started this blog by saying that Brooke has inspired

me and part of that inspiration has lead to my starting

this blog.  She introduced me to blogging by showing

me VELVET AND LINEN

The most beautiful thing in the world is, precisely,
theconjuntion of learning and inspiration.
  Oh,the passion for research and the
 joy of disovery.

  1. I enjoyed this post. I love Velvet and Linen -
    She may just be my favorite designer. If I could wiggle my nose and magically make my house over in her style, you bet my face would be twitching like crazy!!!

    I love your blog!
