A Dreamy Dressing Room
This is the closet of your dreams! I took an outdated mirrored closet and transformed it into a classy and classic dressing room. The mirrors are functional yet subtle when inserted into the recessed panels of the doors. The ottoman top lifts for a conveniently located laundry basket; it is also a nice place to sit and put on your shoes!
Next week I will show you the shower!
Photographing the space was a challenge. John Magor did an outstanding job capturing the room and it's mirrors without capturing himself, me or the camera!

Contemporary Furniture in Richmond
"I am so decorating my house like this when I grow up!", SSR exclaims as she is walking out the door!
CS hugged her favorite chair as she said good-bye!
My 5th and 6th graders loved the colors, the comforts and fun on their field trip today!
Sarah gives the girls a tour of all of the offerings at LaDiff. We looked at office furniture, lighting, dining tables, plates, counter stools, kid's bedroom furniture, lounge chairs, sofas and the recycled cardboard mounted animal heads!
You can visit them yourself to check it out in person (14th & Canal Street)
or view some of it on line:
www.ladiff.com
What is hidden behind that door?
Just checking out some the kid's furniture on the 3rd floor!
Enjoying some of the cool chairs...and relaxing!

Antiques in Richmond
Elephant's Toe Antiques
5808 Grove Avenue
The store takes it's name from the "booboo" on the elephant's toe according to Jim Strickland, the owner! The "booboo" can be seen on the elephant's foot shown here!
The history of interior furnishings is not something most people think about. We know what styles we like and what ones we don't. We know when something works in a room and when it doesn't.
I am fascinated by the variety of styles and the time periods they are from. I love how furniture has developed over time based on technology, tools, materials and history.
Last Friday I took my 5th and 6th grade students to Elephant's Toe Antiques at 5808 Grove Avenue to learn about the different periods of furniture design. Jim Strickland, the owner, gave the girl's a tour and a lesson!

Orange for the Interior
We all need a little extra Vitamin C during this cold snap! I would like to share a special recipe for one of my yummy martinis.
I have also provided a child friendly version!
Plan ahead, the vanilla sugar takes a month to make! (or borrow some of mine)
In a martini shaker with ice mix:2 oz. Vanilla Vodka1 oz. Orange Liqueur
2 oz. Orange Juice
Let this chill while you prepare the glass.
Dampen the rim of the glass with a bit of lemon. Dip the rim in the vanilla sugar* to coat.
Add 1 oz. of Sprite or & Up to the shaker, gently shake and pour!
*Vanilla Sugar
Fill 3/4 of a Mason Jar with sugar. Add a vanilla bean that has been split open lengthwise being careful not loose any of the vanilla granules. Place the bean in the jar and seal it tight. Shake the jar every few days until it is ready.
For those under 21 try this variation:
2 oz. Orange Juice
4 oz. of Seltzer
You can add a little Sprite or 7 Up to sweeten it a bit if you like!
