Several weeks ago while visiting my pal Paula
she took me to a lovely shop I had never been to before...
BonVivant Home in Old Saybrook, CT.
Bon Vivant....Live Well
This is a unique and versatile shop owned and operated
by the very talented and creative Robin Rountree...
Not only does she offer interior design services
and custom painted furniture ...
...but the shop displays unique architectural salvage,
vintage inspired furniture, beautiful and elegant home decor
and interesting and unusual gifts.
And in addition...Robin herself is very pretty
... so sweet and fun to visit with.
I can only imagine how enjoyable it would be to work
with her on a design project.
There was a lovely collection of elegant home accessories and a nice selection of unique chandeliers and mirrors.
We loved these linen pillows...many of which she made herself.
I also loved her silk topiary and these beautiful
square shaped evergreen wreaths.

Hope you enjoyed this short visit to Robin's shop in Old Saybrook...
I look forward to visiting again soon.

There are very few things more fun than discovering a new and wonderful shop! I love her cow painting...I have a thing for them...maybe it is their sweet eyes...everything was beautiful.
Oh Laura,
More gorgeous things and another lovely shop for me to drool over !!!! There is always at least one little idea that I can pinch from your wonderful photographs !!
We have woken up to a light dusting of snow this morning so I am twirling and clapping my hands ..... everywhere looks sparkly and Christmassy. XXXXX

Happy Holidays Laura!
I'm swooning from ALL the gorgeous photos in your last few posts! Thank you for taking me along!
I could shop there and I think my first purchase would be that giant cow picture...and the list would go on and on.
What a great tour. You're right, those pillows are wonderful!
I also love that cow painting :)
Have a wonderful Sunday!! Thinking of you. How's your shop??

I absolutley have GOT to get there!! can't be that far from mass. thanks so much for sharing laura...I love reading your blog! xo chris
Laura, this shop is so high end euro-chic like Maison Luxe in Manhaton Beach southern Ca. A friend and I are looking for shop space to open one closer to the beach, there is something about our beach shops that do so much better than the inland shops.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of this shop. What a shop to inspire by.
