It's all in the details!
...and Shelley's attention to every beautiful detail is amazing!
Shelley and I share a similar aesthetic...
If you have been stopping by 52 Flea for a while...
then you know that I have some of the very same antiques and collectibles that Shelley has on display in her home.
But the way she puts things together is something to behold and I have gained so much inspiration from my visit to Sweet Pea Home!
And, look at this gorgeous brown transferware platter...
to die for!
I will just let you look at the photos...
These two built ins house many of Shelley's treasures and books.
There is a work station between them that is no longer needed and Mr. Sweet Pea is going to replace it with a built in window seat.
I can only imagine how Shelley will cover the cushion and how amazing that will look when finished!
.Love this little collection of old mirrors!
This stunning stone fireplace is the feature that sold them the house!
Did you notice the tobacco drying rack
attached to the front of the mantle?
I bet there were a few choice stockings hanging there at Christmas!
I took this picture to show Mr. Flea that Mr. Sweet Pea
is not being deprived of viewing a great TV.
Awesome, right?
.The lovely centerpiece on her coffee table.
Simply beautiful!
Do you want to see more?
Because...the outside and her little shed out back are adorable!
I will try to schedule a post for tomorrow night to share those photos
but I am not promising as I will be gone all day.
Can you guess where I'm going?
Yes!
Renninger's Extravaganza in Mt. Dora!
It will be my first visit there and sister Lynn and even Mr. Flea
are coming along for the adventure!
Yippee!
I might even run into Shelley who will be there shopping!
:)

I found Shelley's blog thru you and am now a new follower. She has amazing attention to details. Hope you post on the Renningers. I have been thinking about making the drive up from Miami for this - and was wondering if it is worth it.

shelley
Gorgeous!!!!
Don't be surprised if some stranger is chasing you down to say hello! I'm going tomorrow. I was at Shelley's home show Saturday and she told me you were coming for lunch.
Stay warm tomorrow!

I love the way Shelly groups things together and I love your images Laura - such beautifully captured pictures as always! :-)
Amazing, Laura. I adore the element in the scale and the lampshade with ribbons is sooooo beautiful. I have seen lampshades withnribbons before but this one is done so perfectly! Or so beautifully imperfectly! The transfer ware...oh, my! This is my idea of grown up Disneyland!
Keeping your mother and your family in my prayers.
Love,
Suz

Can't wait to hear your impressions of Mt. Dora. My hint: stay on the perimeter, and the vendors towards the back!

And the big cones of string.

Isn't that Shelley SO talented! It's all completely fabulous, Laura. I can't believe you will be going to Renninger's. Hubby and I will be in Fort Lauderdale for a few days in February (need some sunshine), but I magpquested and Mt. Dora is just too far away to go to :( , so I'll just have to live through you and your photos... p.s. so excited for you!
I shared about your Sweet Pea Home posts on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious photos. I am so inspired...
You both have An Eye. Great style! Thank you again for sharing, Laura.

Where would we all be without the inspiration and creativity from our blog friends???? Shelley's home is so very pretty, and she certainly does have a knack for creating wonderful vignettes. :) Love seeing those skeleton lamps (is that what they're called?). So neat! Have a great time tomorrow, girl! Wish I was there with you!
