This year we decided to be inspired and

decorate with what we had...

We took inventory of vintage ornaments,

gift wrap, books and family treasures and

decided on red and pink.

We thought the bright warm colors would pop

against our neutral pieces.

We loved the mix and the result was great

color, pattern and texture!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Redux

2011-12-14T10:34:00.000-08:00

vintage owls purchased from thrift shops become a unified collection
with white paint! birch wood re-used from year to year for display.

vintage chair re-upholstered, vintage cuckoo clocks painted white to
compliment our colors

use a branch instead of cutting a tree [this one had fallen in the back yard]

old lamps turned into candle holders
[cut the cords and paint for your color theme]
we chose ginger jar shapes but you could use any shape/style you like

paper whites planted in vintage milk glass purchased from thrift shops
make a great impact [you can re-plant the bulbs outside for next year]

embroidery hoops get a new life by turning them into a graphic art
display [we used old scraps of wallpaper, remnant fabric, newspaper and
some funky old owls painted black]

recycled birch bark makes festive trees.


this amazing citroen car is surrounded by wood slices cut into 2" thick rounds from a fallen tree [we used the smaller ones to prop up owls and give height to candle holders inside]

...this seemed so appropriate to show

again, we love using vintage and found objects

for Christmas decor. ENJOY!

original post 12/5/08

"this year we went green which to us means
using what we've got, recycling, re-purposing and re-doing.
the items purchased were chosen for their sustainability and
eco friendliness we felt good shopping at thrift shops that
support the community in many ways from women and
children of domestic abuse to the homeless, the money spent
goes to help those people in need. have fun and keep an open
mind you may be surprised at the outcome!"

These look so good! From our new favorite food blog.

Spoon Fork Bacon

Smore’s Cupcakes
Makes 24

Ingredients:
Devil’s Food cake:
1 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup cake flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup low fat buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup strong brewed coffee
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate, melted
1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
marshmallow meringue frosting:
4 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
garnish:
1 ½ (4.4 ounce) Hershey bars, broken into 24 pieces
3 graham crackers, cut into 24 pieces

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place all the ingredients for the cupcake batter into a large mixing bowl and whisk together until fully combined.
3. Line a cupcake tin with liners and fill each about ½ way full.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick come out clean when inserted into the center.
5. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
6. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in an electric stand mixer fixed with a whisk attachment.
7. Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until light and frothy.
8. Begin adding the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until fully incorporated.
9. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and beat until the mixture has become glossy and fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. (if you think the mixture looks glossy but soupy, keep beating!)
10. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe over the cooled cupcakes.

Note: If you don’t want to beat the frosting for a long time, you can shorten the whipping time by dissolving the sugar and lightly whipped egg whites over a double boiler before adding the mixture to a stand mixer.

Topsy's Roost

2011-10-06T12:31:00.000-07:00

We were asked to help with this years Gala event for the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco, the theme is Playland at the Beach circa 1920's-30's we found these images of Topsy's Roost while researching playland. This place looks like it was AMAZING!

More to follow on the Gala!

George Whitney opened Topsy’s Roost in 1929 and it soon became San Francisco’s most favorite spot at Playland-at-the-Beach. Driving south along the beach from the Cliff House, the first building you came to was Topsy’s Roost, a very popular Chicken Dinner House and Nightclub. You could dance to a live orchestra and there was seating on the main floor as well as the balcony. If you were sitting on the balcony level and you wanted to dance, there were slides to take you right down onto the dance floor.

faux vellum books

2011-08-31T09:05:00.000-07:00

Today faux books are valued by curators, interior designers, art directors and discerning individuals for their remarkably authentic appearance, which lets them sit alongside the genuine article completely undetected. They are easily obtained, quickly fitted and all for a fraction of the cost of purchasing antique volumes. A team of highly trained craftsmen produce each individual spine by hand. Our faux book panels are authentic reproductions taken from genuine antique leather books either sourced at auction, borrowed from libraries or found in private collections. The process we use allows all the details to be faithfully reproduced without causing damage to the original. Each spine is then individually coloured, gilded and waxed by hand. A variety of colours are available all of which have a beautiful antique patina. This authentic and superior finish makes our books indistinguishable from attractive, old preserved books admired by so many.
