This post is for my sweet Mother. Also known to me as "Lady" or "Momma".
A woman that loves to decorate & whom I believe has been influencing my taste in decor as well.
See, my Momma is a pianist.
She plays for our church & is a very-patient teacher to over 40 wonderful students that she opens her *faBuLouslY* decorated home to. She is aahhhmazingly talented!
Currently, Momma is on another re-do spree, this time the victim is the living room. It's been a work-in-progress as she has decided which colors she'd like to pull together. The winner.... BLACK!
Not to fret, Momma would never do anything tacky. With our flair for French inspired design & a basket full of Ballard Design catalogs, we are turning this living room around. So without further ado, I am showing off all inspirational pieces I have found throughout the wonderful world (or, internet!) in hopes that she will find her own way to incorporate them into her home.

Some of my newest favorite trends are moving further from the famed & loved Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic style, to a more rustic - chic inspired design. Let your mind wander to the farms of the Midwest, wire baskets, chicken wire, crackled & chippy wood, dried leaves & florals, burlap, and Ball jar style lamps that hang solo in old barns. Then add the whimsy that French design has brought us, the Imperial Bee, the Royal Crown, smooth & sexy lines on furniture, moss covered planters sprinkled among monochromatic tablescapes and groupings. It is truly in the smallest details of our home that show who we really are. Momma also loves to display old family photos' and I am hoping to bring new life to the way to show them off!

The "apothecary craze" as I call it, has ranged from Candy Bars at weddings, to moss filled jars emulating green houses, and now, I firmly believe you can use an apothecary jar or bell jar to literally, CAPTURE anything you'd like to be a focal point! Here's an awesome idea, especially for my Musical Momma !
Each room could use a statement piece, imagine this beautiful buffet adorning your foyer...
And maybe an antique collection of Trophy cups ... I like mine with branches!
