Monogram




I adore monograms.
I have loved them since I was a child.
I am sure my undergarments were monogrammed.
Everything was embroidered!
I was brought up in the deep south.
You know how we southerns love our monograms.






This is a chair in one of my client's bathroom.






So you can see how I like monograms!
Above are a few of my things that have monograms.






I adore this pillow!
 I had it monogrammed with the year I opened the shop.






In a kitchen of a client!
Monogrammed range hood.



Monograms seem to make everything personal.
When designing, I use them whenever I can.
Tell me what you think about monograms, dear readers.
I would love to hear from you...


Love,




Peggy

New York, Part II- Walking Around, Central Park and more






I started  my journey to NY on Virgin America, what a nice airline it is...





A view of NY






My son picked me up at the airport in his 1978 restored Ford. It is so cool. 
What a treat!
Here we are getting out of the car to go grab something to eat.





My daughter & I took Mr. Wilson (LA dog, now NYC dog) to Central Park for a walk.
Mr. Wilson lives right across the street from the park.
Here he is looking at the zoo (no dogs allowed).
 Sorry, Mr. Wilson!





A beautiful view of the skyline.





A dogwood in bloom in Central Park.
Spring has sprung.





Everyone was at the park that day.





Even the ducks were having a good time.







Central Park is so beautiful. 






Hotel Cassa breakfast -Yummy!
Hotel Cassa was home - A big thank you to Troy Pade, the general manager.





 Fifth Ave, lots of people walking
Louie Vuitton and many more.





Apple store.





Walking around NY





This is the Camper shop.
I thought the windows - wicker woven with chairs & tables - was unique!





Inside they had wicker also...
They are getting ready for summer.





Times Square, a land mark!
Had to take this shot.













St. Patrick's Cathedral  is under construction but still open.





Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn





Night time in  NY from my cab.





Walking around in NY is so exciting!







 

So I bid farewell to New York..Amid some tears I confess...
I had such a grand time.
Thank you to my son & daughter. 

 I really saw lots + had a wonderful time.



Love,


Peggy

Powder Room & Bathroom Ideas




Bathrooms & powder rooms can be done in so many different ways. 
That is why, for my money, they need to be fantastic. 
These below are just the best. 






Look at the pulls & the mirror.






You could do this by painting a metal table orange. 






Love these doors peeking into the bath

Mirror hanging over the window. 






Sooo chic.



unknown



Of course I adore this one.
Purple walls & the lighting.






Open shelves-
The mirror  reflecting the window to the outside.



unknown



Delicious - the lantern.






Love the paintings lining the walls.






Monsieur + madame on the floor - 
Made out of tile and set in the floor.



Love the mirror.
 l

 unknown



The placement of the mirrors are wonderful.  





Outdoor bathroom, adore this idea.




 I have a client that has a light fixture like this one.
 (below you can see it) 


 PBID



We spray painted it orange and put twinkle lights in it.
 Used it for an outdoor party.






Divine!



So here you have some bathrooms design ideas.
All of these are delicious. 
Tell me, dear readers-
which ones are your favorite?

Write a comment, I am longing to hear.




Love,



Peggy
