DK LIVING-ATLANTA

There are so many great things to look at
in this room vignette at DK LIVING.
Starting at the top with the fabulous
iron hammered pendants.
.

A little drama is good and this gold

gilt mirror adds that drama

 I like the use of the natural wood and

leather pieces.  I think they help soften the

room and makes it warm, inviting and earthy.

Metals are always very prevalent, these

stainless steal lanterns have always

been a favorite.

I love this aluminum tray of

candle holders.  It would be

a great centerpiece with just

a couple of candles for color.

 Multi colored votives are striking

with the metal and glass pieces.

I was impressed on how realistic

the faux slate looked and the prices

are also appealing.

White ceramics in all shapes

sizes

Some beautiful glass bottles

Lighting is an important category

and DK LIVING always has some

spectacular chandeliers.

As serious as all of the furniture and

accessories are, one of the joys

of seeing the new introductions is

the fun side of the line.  I was

not disappointed this time around.

POM POM AT HOME-ATLANTA

Table linens were a large focus with
 the new introductions from
POM POM AT HOME for spring.

Lily is a 100% Belgian linen voile in white and natural.

Napkins, place mats and tablecloths have

ruffle that gives the collection a very

romantic look.

Gracie is a interwoven stripe pattern

using 100% Belgian Linen.

Here the stripe is more visible.  It adds

a nice subtle pattern to the collection.

Besides the white and natural, Hilde

has added ocean and slate. These

colors are used though out the new

introductions.

Cable-knit throws in antique white

and oyster were a big hit last season.

Now there are 3 new fabulous colors,

slate, ocean and pewter.  Also a 28 x 28

euro sham has been added.

The cable-knit euros add a wonderful

new texture to the linen bedding.

The new slate is also available in bedding

as well as the ocean.

It was a very exciting show season for

all of those involved with POM POM AT HOME,

at the Dallas Gift Show they were

awarded the 23rd Arts Achievement Award

for Home Textiles.  Hilde, Sam and

Jackie were all smiles.

I think a little well deserved celebrating

went on that night.

ITALY DRESSED IN WHITE

Italia, vestito di bianco.

It is no secret that I love Italy and
everything Italian. My husband and I have
 made several trips there and we also got
married there.  I have liked many
Facebook pages that are Italy related
and if you have a fondness for the
Italian I highly recommend any of these.

It has been a rough winter with lots of snow
in all areas of Italy.  These Facebook
friends have shared these pictures with
me so I thought I would share them with you.

These pictures represent Rome, Tuscany,

The Marche, Cinque Terre, Venice and

my beloved Milano.
