Sweet Dreams


I love this beautiful image I happened across tonight while looking at one of my favorite blogs, Brabourne Farm. I think I would be one happy girl to crawl into this bed at night. Oh, what sweet dreams I would have.

In Need Of A Summer Picnic

In my searches through the store, yesterday, I came across some beautiful baskets. After purchasing one, I think it inspired me to kick back and have a summer picnic today. Such a perfect and beautiful day!

Just Felt Like Sharing

I ran across this paint today and I'm now itching for a DIY project. Just wanted to share my findings..


Stenciled Animal Mugs

Look no further than the nearest pasture for inspiration to dress up plain dishware. To duplicate these mugs, print and cut out the animal shapes. Use these templates for Cow, Sheep, and Pig shapes. Place each shape atop a small piece of contact paper and outline it in pencil. Cut out with a craft knife; then discard the paper inside the outline. Peel away the backing and affix the stencil to a clean, dry mug, making sure to center the image. Following the package directions, use a soft brush to fill in the outline with dishwasher-safe PermEnamel paint ($3.49 for two ounces, joann.com); let set for a few minutes. Carefully remove the contact paper, clean up any edges with a damp cotton swab, and allow the paint to cure for 10 days.

Decorating with Floral Patterns

Decorating with floral patterns will never cease to be classic, chic and sweet. Country Living shows us best how it's done:


this slipcovered chair is a beautiful example of how to mix a pattern and solid


subtle blue floral print pillows add a bit of interest and contrast to a sweet white bench


what a fabulous skirted work table


a modernized, vibrant floral on the headboard brings so much life and personality to this bedroom

Pleasant Grove Finer Finds

Hello finer friends! Happy Wednesday! Today when I went into the Pleasant Grove store I couldn't believe my eyes--so many beautiful treasures right now.


A telephone booth? How amazing is that?!




A lovely little black vanity with a beautiful chrome faucet. Perfect for a powder bath.


This piece is a metallic and multicolored masterpiece. It possesses so much flare and personality.




Beautiful hand painted scroll detailing.



The spindle work on the base of this table is magnificent. With classic styling and versatile upholstery--I can envision this set in a multitude of different styled homes.



I believe every home deserves at least one sassy little piece.

Finer Guest Bedroom Makeover

Today we are excited to be posting the first stages of a Finer guest bedroom makeover. We will be picking up a newly reupholstered chair on Wednesday from the upholstery studio, so be watching for more pictures to come!

Beautiful golden rod and ivory bedding paired with a black metal headboard make for a perfectly simple, casual and lovely bed. Just what the client was 'dreaming' of.



This dresser was a find straight from heaven. Have you ever seen such a knob?


The white wash basin and pitcher add the perfect dose of old charm to a new
home.
