Tassel Trunk

last friday evening i had a special event at Tassel Studio in Old Lyme Connecticut with my old friend erica of the E List who organized the event at the wildly fabby shop owned and operated by the marvelous Hannah Childs

Hannah is not only a warm and wonderful person..but she is a terrific decorina too!  i really shouldn't have..but i couldn't resist these 2 awesome gigandor ikat (Quadrille's "Kazak") pillows from her shop.  don't they make a perf gift for my daddy's bday?

(here they are sittin' pretty in my rent's lavender boudoir..ooo la la!)

oh my living room!

my friend and decorator chris b.(though that is not his real profession) tells me that if people really knew how i lived, there would be shouting in the streets..something like.."you are a sham and a fraud jill r."

because if the truth were revealed..the people..they would see that i am just a harried housewife..looking to pull a look together..but not quite getting it right all the time!  oy with the time/effort/shekels/expertise a girl can't always git what she wants..right?

having said that..we are finally getting it together (fingers crossed) here at chez lawrence et jill..having just purchased these adorbs chairs..that we hope will go with all the pillows we have collected..and the new jill r. hex rug we just laid down..a little koookay..but that's moi..and hey i AM going for genius after alls!

what is next i'm afraid is another paint conundrum..oh to find the perfect shade of pale blue grey..below is stonington from benjamin moore..but the ones below are a mystere..

thoughts?  advice?
