I sure do. Well these vintage Louis Vuitton suitcases aren't just being used for their namesake--they are being used as tables in home decor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.traditionalhome.com/antiques_collecting/collecting/valuable-valises_ss1.html">Traditional Home</a> recently did an article on these vintage jewels. They expressed that "first class passengers with lavish wardrobes appreciated Vuitton's strong, well-crafted trunks with hand stitched leather handles and burnished brass locks that secured the goods with style." Monsieur Vuitton began designing luggage in 1854, and later his son, George Vuitton began wrapping the monogram print on luggage around the 1890s. Around 1959, grandson Gaston Vuitton introduced the print on soft luggage--which was a new requirement in some airports at the time. Even with their new products on the market, Traditional Home claims that "its the earlier, heavier hard-sided trunks that turn heads at auction." "Soft sided luggage can't transform into a side table or coffee table" notes specialist Abigail Rutherford of Leslie Hindman auctions in Chicago. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

As it was being produced in the mills of Manchester, England during the mid 18th century, it started to be woven into checked or plaid patterns. More often than not...in blue and white. Ever since...it has lingered on... fading in and fading out. Well....it's back.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>Okay, it's been a while since I've posted a "diamond in the rough" blog. But let's be honest, they wouldn't be <em>diamonds</em> if I found them all the time! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A space that I have offically begun working on is our landing. This french chair is the first to fill it. I found this great find yesterday at an antique store for $35.00...<em>yes</em>, thirty-five dollars! With the caining in perfect condition, I decided to paint the wood white (although...I might decide to soften it after I find the exact fabric...I was just <em>too</em> excited!). Also, I am going to have the cushion recovered in a velvet fabric--either chocolate brown or soft yellow/gold. Never know for sure, of course. I will keep you posted!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Originally from London, she founded her Tribeca-based interior design firm in 2002.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">I love the portfolio of Katie Lydon Interiors. The rooms are stricking and unexpected with a traditional lining. As mentioned on her site, "she believes that a balance of classic and modern pieces creates a home that is at once timeless and exciting." Her mixture of contemporary art and classic antiques/architecture reveals her incredible eye and passion for both. Enjoy!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There are so many options now that you can even make these the unexpected, pop of color in a space. If you have a particular theme in your home, a beach home, for example--there are many options that will help bring the ocean indoors! If you are wanting to update your look in small doses, replacing your hardware can work wonders! Or if you buy an inexpensive piece of furniture, like a desk...try replacing the knobs with unique, contrasting knobs. It will dress up the piece and make it appear more costly or better quality.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I find that a great place to look for the fun, unexpected hardware is <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/category.jsp?popId=HOME&navAction=top&navCount=5&isSortBy=true&pushId=HOME-HARDWARE&id=HOME-HARDWARE">Anthropologie</a>.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks to everyone who sent me sweet birthday wishes!!! I had a wonderful June 13th this year. The day began with a great converstation with my dad on the phone, who is serving in Iraq. After a fantastic service at church...I spent the rest of the day with my family, including my grandparents and Aunt Shelly from Alabama.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I find that there are amazing designers out there, and I enjoy learning from them! I have always heard that if you want to be successful in a particular field--no better way than to learn from those that have succeeded in that field. Today I want to introduce you to <a href="http://www.philipgorrivan.com/">Philip Gorrivan</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He owns Philip Gorrivan Design which is a New York based interior design firm. As described on his site, the firm is "known for its tailored and modern design, often using elements from the past, which evoke an eclectic, polished and chic style." I particularly love their amazing use of color and materials. <em>Yummy!</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I find it super relaxing and it seems to always make dinner tastes better! Imagine that!? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I find that plastic dinnerware is fun to use for these occasions. It relieves worry of dropping and breaking your prized and/or expensive dinnerware. A good option is melamine. Melamine is a tough, durable plastic that won't scratch or break. It is much stronger than regular plastic dinnerware. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, why not have fun with it? There are so many exciting prints and colors offered these days! <br />
<br />
Here are some of my findings that you can take from your backyard to the beach...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Charleston is on my mind. Something that I have always wanted to pick up while visiting is a sweetgrass basket.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">A Charleston sweetgrass basket reprents rich heritage and amazing skill. I love that the skills used to create each basket have been passed down from generation to generation. The tradition was brought from West Africa by slaves and has survived in America for 300 years. I thought it was interesting to learn that orginally basket weavers were men. Now most weavers are women. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">Where does sweetgrass grow? This long-stemmed plant grows along the boundaries between marsh and forest and behind the dune line near the ocean. It's havested in the spring and summer by "pullers."</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">Sweetgrass baskets are now considered an art form. Each basket is unique and has it's own beautiful character!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbg8cp226QIoKOkiTJ7rSZKpJ9u2sePzpT1M9sT4z1oMNQxbj8l_v6yMyIWIejc-vFnCND7mZG56B3wn1p2EMf_dqTbcTuDtUJgUaL1t49EZi6jy5WJwUFd_O6E4o36JNwDnbTFIrHl4XK/s1600/pa1495%252014x10%2520sweetgrass%2520weaver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbg8cp226QIoKOkiTJ7rSZKpJ9u2sePzpT1M9sT4z1oMNQxbj8l_v6yMyIWIejc-vFnCND7mZG56B3wn1p2EMf_dqTbcTuDtUJgUaL1t49EZi6jy5WJwUFd_O6E4o36JNwDnbTFIrHl4XK/s320/pa1495%252014x10%2520sweetgrass%2520weaver.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center"></div><div align="center"><strong>What is traffic flow?</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong></strong></div><div align="center">People move throughout their home every day, mostly walking in the shortest distance possible between Point A to Point B. These walkways are referred to as traffic flow. The placement of furniture and structural elements in your home <em>influence</em> the traffic flow. Examining the traffic flow may have great benefits! Whether it benefits the current life in your home or future buyers--it will increase living enjoyment and look more pleasing to the eye.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />
<br />
Something to ask yourself is if the <em>furniture arrangements</em> are helping direct traffic in your home. Is it a smooth transition from room to room?<br />
<br />
</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">You should also ask yourself if the <em>traffic pattern clearance</em> is helping to maximize living potential. Traffic areas need clearance for one or more people to walk and for people to accomplish desired tasks. Traffic patterns are broken down into two categories--major and minor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Major traffic patterns need about 5 feet clearance. These major areas refer to hallways, any route where two people might pass each other, area in front of stove, refrigerator, sink and closets or dressers.<br />
