INSPIRATION: Tee Pee Style

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Yesterday I posted magazine pics from the mid-90’s ~ there was one series that I wanted to wait and share today, it’s this Tee Pee from a 1994 Architectural Digest Magazine that is just amazing…

Tee Pee Architectural Digest August 1994

The design is from Cassandra Lohr Design who has many beautiful projects in her portfolio but still features this Tee Pee as one of her greatest projects, it is easy to see why… I could play Cowboys & Indians all day long in this luxurious space!!

Cassandra Lohr also designs furniture and bedding, much of it like that seen here in the images of the Tee Pee.

Sumptous * Old West PILLOWS from Moon Rein

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Adding pillows to a room is the simplest, least expensive way to change the entire feeling of a room.  You can take a space from Shabby to Chic, Traditional to Wild West, all with a few new pillows.  {This is especially true when you start with classic pieces for your base ~ like a leather sofa, buff colored upholstery or solid bedding.}

 Moon Rein Pillows

The pillow collection from Christi Proctor’s Moon Rein are the prime example of how exquisite and dramatic pillows can be, and how a few good pillows can really spice up your space.  Christi’s spin on the Sumptous side of the Old West are rich looking with unique fabric and texture combinations that will certainly set them apart in the marketplace. 

Moon Rein Pillows 

Christi Proctor has had an impressive twenty year career in the interior design business, including a four year run TLC’s Trading Spaces.  It’s her innate design sensibilities, plus a good dose of Native Texas STYLE, that have led her to create Moon Rein, new line that is available to the trade only.  The fresh new pillows are just hitting the market but will soon be seen in fine retail stores all over the country.  Click HERE to learn more about Moon Rein.

Westernware Goods… unveiling the Western Spirit through HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Westernware PillowIn this era of society’s mad scramble to ‘just make it’ we often forget those teeny tiny moments that make it all worth it… The blessing is that so many of those moments are captured by photographs. Whether the photo is taken in haste with our cell phones, in a quick pose around a birthday cake, or by a talented photographer. It almost seems that, without these tangible reminders, the best moments of our lives would be lost.

LA Huffman PhotoOne of the things I love most about photographs is to look at the eyes of the subject, this is especially true with vintage photographs. I wonder how that person’s morning went along, what lead them to be photographed, their SPIRIT ~ what was their greatest joy, their hardships, their biggest secrets… It’s a snapshot of our history that would be lost forever if not for the effort of the photographer. It’s this appreciation for the tiny moments of days gone by that make Westernware’s products so special.

The photograph {LEFT} is of L.A. Huffman, “Laton Alton Huffman’s camera captured the Cowboy and Native American culture, the buffalo herds, the burgeoning cattle and sheep industry. His legacy provides us with life portraiture of the Northern Plains and the pioneering aspects of the area – ranch life, wildlife, frontier town views and Yellowstone National Park.

L.A. Huffman is cited as one of the most important photographers of the West. Renowned Western artists Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington painted from Huffman’s vintage photographs. His photography provides a glimpse into the memorable history of frontier America.”

 Westernware Dishes

It is a company called Westernware that has taken Huffman’s beautiful photographs, and those of other historical photographers and collections, and applied them to common items that we use every day in our homes.  I really cannot think of a better way to use these images than in a way that they can be truly appreciated every single day.

Westernware is a company that sells exclusively to retailers like Rustic Ranch Relics and Will Wyatt’s Cowboy Couture

INSPIRATION: Rustic Cottage Living Room

Monday, January 4th, 2010

So did you get it done??  All of the Christmas decorations down… put all of the presents away… cleaned the house real good… Yeah, me neither.  But when I do {next weekend I swear!!} it’s going to feel sooo good to start fresh.  I love how “uncluttered” the living room feels after that tree comes down, I always forget that along with the warmth & coziness of Christmas decor comes a lot of “stuff”. It’s then that I start to feel INSPIRED to do something new to the house.  A new wall hanging, maybe… or even just a few new pillows to freshen up the look of the living room.

I LOVE the living room {BELOW}, mostly because it is full of all of the things that the homeowner loves ~ souvenirs from travels, a comfortable sofa and the perfect antique chairs.

Christmas Countdown {23 days to go} ~ BLANKETS

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I love the gift of a BLANKET because it is something that all families will truly use ~ as long as it’s soft and warm, it will have a permanent place on a sofa or bed, or in the car, just in case ~ and it will always remind people of how awesome you are.  Three I love for three different reasons…

It’s warm, it’s rich, it’s perfect for snuggling up with a hot drink & a good book.  Or a cold drink and a hot book… whatever trips your trigger.


Crooked Stream Quilt

Quilts make our houses feel like a home.  The ones made by grandma are full of love & warmth, but even a store bought quilt that is given with sincerity will be treasured for years and years…


Mexican Serapes
Serapes from Shop Tejas

I have a pile of serapes that I use for everything from impromptu picnics to surprise diaper changes ~ don’t worry, I wash them, folks.  In fact they wash up quite well, another reason to have a pile of your own as they make great spur-of-the-moment gifts.

There is a lot to be admired about this simple bedroom… the neutral colors, the shelves framing the bed, the rusty~crusty dresser used as at the end of the bed, and of course the vintage dog images complete the cozy space.
