I’m definitely thinking of beauty and nature these days as the weather warms up and the days grow longer. Enjoy these pretty images and click image for source.

I love this sofa in Interior Designer Emma Carole Paradis home.

The specimens are from an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.

Sheffield Interiors Birds and Butterfly Wallpapered space in Schumacher book .PNG

My friend Alison Sheffield a wonderful Interior Designer used Schumacher Birds and Butterfly for a client and Schumacher liked the result so much they included her design in their book: One Hundred Rooms to Know and Love.

This book needs no introduction - it is the John Derian Picture Book.

The green colorway of Fable by Hygge and West is a favorite. The Schumacher Exotic Butterfly pattern is a stunner.

Another image from the Butterfly Biodiversity exhibit at the AMNH from 2018.

Til next time friends I hope you’re keeping well. Sending love!

Recently I was thinking about the collages I pull together every Friday on Instagram and how they’re my version of a mood board - which led me to search my saved images - and low and behold look at these beauties - how I wish I had an office where I could devote wall space to boards like these.

I’ve always been a person who saved images, curated bits. I am a chronic keeper of paper, postcards, ribbons, pieces of fabric, cards, trinkets. As a child I always had a bulletin board and I still do - I have cork surrounding the mirror on the inside of my bedroom closet door. I also have all manner of stuff stuck into the edges of mirror too!

Pinterest is one gigantic electronic bulletin board and while I do have a Pinterest feed, I much prefer saving images into Albums on IG. I tend to organize by color.
