Anyhow, now I have something important to say so I took a break from my blogging break. I am obsessed w/ what some may call "tacky" home decor. I personally think it's beautiful. I think the most tastefully decorated restaurant I've ever been to is Buca di Beppo (don't get me started about their restrooms). My biggest obsession within this genre is silk flowers. I mean how do you bring greenery and life to a home filled with light blue eyed, frequent migraine suffering, sun sensitive people? Silks! I love love love them.
No amount of Oprah's little pet Nate Berkus telling the world not to use silk flowers when you can go into nature and get beautiful live ones etc. etc. can sway me. Guess what Nate, real flowers are dead in a week then what? I think silks are so much more beautiful and they don't require annoying things like sun and water and tending. So, here you go, my obsession in all of its' glory, read 'em and weep Nate:
These (above) aren't really flowers, just some sticks that I spray painted gold.
Naturally we have to have PLENTY of roses.
Love the fake ivy growing down the shelf above my kitchen sink.
Check out this fake plant, I even put in some fake peacocks for a "pop of color".That's all for now, I will prob post one more time to feature my latest home decor projects before I break for some more Law and Order - Benson and Stabler for Pres!!

I really thought you had fallen off the face of the earth.
Looks great...as always! I can't wait to see it all in real life for the full effect. And what does that Nate know anyway?
agreed--plus i hear that dead flowers smell (not something this nose has personally experienced). why don't you ever get any comments on your cool postings like this?
p.s. you need to do a posting of your stencils so I can show shelli. :)
I miss seeing your house. I love all the color. Please come to this migraine suffering house and help me decorate! It's fabulous, just like everything else that you touch. Up here, people think I am crazy for all the color in my house. I always tell them about my friend Hillary.
It is clear that you are a master of all things faux life. Besides, I think your color choices are much more vibrant and pleasing above what real nature provides. This silk life in your home is the gift that continues to not only give, but provide beauty and loveliness...ever done weddings? :)
