Dear Daughters: Black

Dear Daughters,

As you well know, I have mentioned ‘cart before the horse’ design more than once.

Remember this post?


And the rules for this highly complex design process (not!) that Nonnie and I and you created? 

There are no rules. 


If there were, we’d break them anyway. It is ALL about the flea market.


And so this cart before the horse thinking goes to my new favorite color in the den- BLACK. 

It all started with Nonnie’s red chest that I painted in Maison Blanche’s chalk paint in Wrought Iron.

Oh what a difference.

 

Add to that the fact that I had been really lucky at the flea market lately.


We all know the best choice for our homes can be in the accessories and what lady luck unearths at the flea market any given week.

And then it all started to fall into place.

I added the cream colored oyster plate from the flea market,

the clay pot that I used for my faux succulents.

and the bust of the lady I found at the Antique Mall in Spring.

And finally there’s the starburst mirror that I found at the flea market that matches the mirror

I already have. What are the odds?

I can’t wait for you to see it.


It is so much fun, isn’t it?

Love you,

Mom
