A Fun Home

I am not sure how I would categorize my style...shabby chic?  Fun?  Mix of old and new?  I don't know.  But I find myself drawn to whimsical homes where things match, but not too much, things are comfy and cozy, but not sloppy, things can be traditional, but not too much.  Notice a pattern? 

When I shopped at the Sleepy Poet Antique mall this past weekend, I also noticed some things that would be perfect in a fun home.  I have recently found Deborah Needleman (remember that great magazine Domino?) and I love her spaces and ideas.  Here are some pictures of what I found and an Interview with Deborah Needleman via Martha Stewart and Kevin Sharkey's blog.

Great patchwork pillows from various fabrics - love the trim!


Dog and horse yard art.

Old fountain bar stools.  I would love to paint the bases in a bright color.  Would be so durable in a family home and take up less space too!  Sometimes bar stools can feel so heavy in a room.


Here is Deborah's book.  Lots of great ideas!
