Post Modern Home

I'm a "cottage style" kind of decorator - have been for many years. 

But lately I've been coming over to the other side. There are so many charming, quirky mid century pieces out there that capture the imagination. 

And they are perfect for mixing with things you already own.  

A new store featuring both original and refurbished mid century modern pieces has just opened at 110 Post Road in Darien, Ct. It's called, appropriately enough, POST MODERN HOME.

Looking for wonderful mid century modern pieces online?  

Look no further than ETSY.

I've included some amazing finds from some of ETSY's best shops.

Winter Weddings #1:  Woodland

I love the woodland theme for a winter wedding - there's nothing more beautiful than the forest in winter! The touch of greens and neutrals is elegant and timeless.

There are many inspirations to be found online - here a just a few of them.
