Adrienne's home #2

This is the beautiful and artfully arrangement that greets you when you enter Adrienne Samuelson's home. I met her about 5 yrs ago when she came into my shop and we've been friends ever since and have worked together designing a wedding. She's the kind of person that lights up a room and always makes you feel comfortable and this visit was no different.

I knew her house would be eye candy.....after all she's an artist extraordinaire, illustrating cards for Caspari. But Laura and I were blown away by her collections....

and her sense of design.

We loved all her blue and white in her living room.

and we were both drawn to the queen anne's lace paperweight....so delicate it resembled a snowflake

Wonderful collection of nautical antiques.

Her country side showing through with the blue and white quilt and enamel pitchers.

This is of course the dining room. This room is done in the same color blue but with the fresh touches of light green

maybe just used for Spring? Maybe we can come back another season and see????

This window display with it's bunnies and vegetables and fruit were so whimsical and fun I half expected to see Alice peeking out around the corner.

Makes me want to put in a bay window.


Laura and I didn't know where to look next......there was so much to see and to take in.

We both went a little crazy when we saw this clock and watch collection. Paula had told us about it but it was so artfully displayed we both just loved it.

Can you imagine having a window like this in your workroom?

And looking through this one right by your desk???

I'd want to be there every minute.

Makes my workroom look like a dungeon.

At every turn a bit of whimsy to inspire....

A little bit of her witchy side. We all have it that!!!lol

Assorted baskets and favorite pots adorn the kitchen sink. Two topiaries with wispy branches on either side flank the windows

Wonderful silver shelf not often seen.

I sneaked a picture of Adrienne while we were stand outside in the garden.

We still had 6 other house to visit and Laura's camera was giving her trouble so we promised to come back. At the end we ran out of time. Booooowho!!!

I'm going to end here and show you the gardens tomorrow.

.......more bunnies and whimsy!!!!!

Good Night!!!
