Delicious Details

Delicious details............



While visiting Evi this week, I was..... once again, enthralled with her home, her decorating sense, her impeccable taste and ironically, her use of restraint.....



Everywhere you look in Evi and Eb's home..... interesting things are artistically displayed, objects arranged to tell a story, create an atmosphere, provide interest or inject the element of surprise and delight.....



She has many wonderful treasures.....but absolutely no clutter......



She uses negative space to make her objects on display pop.......



Each item has a history, each item is loved, each item is showcased to its best advantage...



Placed in its designated spot....on the mantle.....atop a dresser....in the middle of a shelf....it shines....(and not just because everything is immaculately clean).....it is showcased...it stands out for all to appreciate the tiniest details....



This dollmaker, designer and artist constantly edits her collections.....which keeps her home looking fresh and current....



Her home appears elegant and sophisticated but never pretentious or over done......it reflects her keen sense of humor.....and her joie de vie....



Here a cache of thermometers hangs from a wooden rack......against a wall that she and her husband Eb hand plastered to ensure just the right texture.....



A collection of interesting pharmaceutical items.....



and these antique apothecary jars.....



contrast with this elegant mirror and black and white toile drapes in the guest bathroom....



Even her outdoor spaces are filled with delicious details.....rich texture



and delightful surprise......



Talk about inspiration.......this clutter queen (me) is once again inspired by Evi to look at my own space with fresh eyes and try again......
