Provincetown's Shor

We were at Cape Cod the other week visiting my Dad and took a trip over to Provincetown where I happened upon Shor.  So, while others were entertaining themselves in the nearby vintage book store, I was soaking in all this fabulous decor.

Riding boots as an umbrella stand!

Showing the way for making a velvet pillow fit right in with summer decor.

Notice the grand scale of those sconces!

More velvet-summer goodness.  Beautiful colors.

So if you're in Provincetown, be sure to stop by Shor.  

p.s. I did make it to the beach too :)

A Greek Key Ceiling Mount!

We all know stylish ceiling lights are hard to come by. Well, here's one more to add to the list of those that look great - it's Ballard Designs new Greek Key Ceiling Mount ($199, more info here)

If you're looking for a different finish than bronze, just get out the Rub n Buff and you're good to go.

Eye Candy: Apple Green with Black

I find the pairing of this apple green with black particularly pleasing. Including the elephant, there are five doses of black around the room.  Image from Charleston Real Estate here.

Reader Request: My Front Door Color

A few months back a reader left a comment asking if I'd share my front door color.  Well, I had so "carefully" stored the paint can lid w/the info that I couldn't find it until recently.  It's Sherwin Williams Purple Martin SW1819 in gloss.  Don't let the paint's name mislead you into thinking it's purple  because it's really a bold blue.  Guess it's name after this little guy.
