Hi there…time for my random musings and I have a lot to say so consider this a forewarning, this is one long post. Take an extra few minutes, kick back and relax!! Hope things are going well over there…here things are starting to calm down. Our gas lines are easing, power is just about back everywhere, trees are getting cut but make no mistake there is still tremendous need and so much loss. I continue to look for ways to help/contribute because I know for way too many, the word “normal” is many months away. Thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in Sandy’s path still dealing with the devastation and destruction.
I was in Boston last weekend and one of the fun things I got to do was meet up with my buddy, Amy from Maison Decor. I call her Superwoman because well, there’s simply nothing she can’t do, she is super talented, has a fabulous eye, and just opened up not one but TWO amazing stores in the Boston area. When Amy does something…she goes all the way! She is the “go to” person for Annie Sloan’s chalk paints and has all these amazing workshops, I hope I get to attend one one day, it would be worth the drive!
She makes everything look so easy and I am in awe every time I visit her. She is one of those people who might talk about painting a room in the morning and by night, its a done deal. She has a newly painted room, the furniture’s been put back….yep, one of those….. a doer!! Here’s some highlights form her beautiful store in downtown Boston…..she is now selling online too, so click here to visit and see her gorgeous assortment of French goodies. Thanks Amy for a fun visit!
Come on inside…..
There is pretty Amy “doing her thing”…….shes such a happy shopkeeper!
This is kind of like an “artists alley”..its lined with loads of galleries and restaurants…..neat!
This brick wall is paying homage to art, and the freedom to express…..
A close up of the wall
And my pretty goodies I took home with me from Amy’s shop……can never have too many gorgeous silver water pitchers, can you!
And she was so sweet to give me a gift…gilding wax/paste! I love this product. OMG..you could go a little bonkers with it and forewarning a teeny tiny bit goes a loooong way. It allowed me to touch up on a spot on my bed, a frame and then I set my sights on “enchancing” the ant. brass hardware new to my island. I love it but remember thinking I wish it was 20% brighter…well this magic paste did just the trick! I had such fun going to town…..its subtle but noticeable. Thanks Amy:)
First cup bin is done…see the extra little “pop”
Can you believe in the middle of all the hurricane chaos, we attended a black tie wedding? And not just any black tie wedding but a fancy schmancy one at the infamous Plaza no doubt! It was spectacular beyond words…they must have bought up every orchid this side of the hemisphere but part of me felt a little guilty about celebrating when there was so much suffering going on around us. Here’s a quick pic I snuck with my iPhone…..
The grand ballroom decked out in gold and orchids……gorgeous!
Chocolate. Please do not even tell me you don’t like it. I cannot be your friend if that’s the case. I LOVE chocolate. Have you ever had See’s candy? SO good! My mom and I both are big fans and I always give her a box for almost any holiday. I went to their website and they did the most clever thing…you can now customize the chocolate selections for your very own box. No more throwing out the cherries and half bitten ones that make you go “ewwhhh”. How smart is that? So if you are a nut and caramel girl, you can have an entire box of them! I know I am going to be taking advantage of this wonderful “perk”…….love the idea of customizing your own box of chocolates. And trust me, people they are good. Heavenly, can’t stop at just one good. Clickhere to create a box of chocolates for yourself for the ones you love.
Another one of my blogging friends, Mandi from Interior Design Musings published such a wonderful gift giving post, it was too good to not share! Seriously I want one of everything…this rocks!! Only bad thing is it kinda makes you concentrate on gift giving to yourself:)
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching (yikes!), it seems holiday shopping is in full swing. So, here are my favorite picks for the season.
So the talent just keeps on coming…..just wait till you see this next tidbit. A mega tidbit. I wanted to create a “The Enchanted Home” logo of some sort, one I could possibly use on my blog but really to have printed up notepads/thank you’s to include with my orders. I knew what I wanted in my head but needed to bring it to reality. I knew just who to ask….Jeanne of I dream of. She is a super talented lady….the first time I saw one of her drawings, I was sucked right in.
Loved her technique, and soft approach to her paintings and drawings. I always click on over to any new post knowing I am in for a decadent treat. So we worked together the last few weeks and I got my finished product. And guess what! They are exactly as I had envisioned them in my head….love love love them! Soon all my orders will have an enclosure with a little note of thanks bearing one of these gorgeous images…..how to choose just one? I can’t so I am going to use all three and switch it up! Check them out……Thanks Jeanne, you are awesome! Click here to visit her blog and get contact information.
I took my front door and used it as inspiration for this one…..and added my own “future” planters of what I see flanking the side of the door
Her interpretation was spot on!
My guest room.. not totally done but getting there. I wasn’t satisfied with the pics from the last time as they were taken with my iPhone so here’s some better shots taken with my camera…..
Interior shot…..has to look good from all angles!
Its all int the details…this pretty decorative tape was a nice compliment to trim the edges
Love our nightstands, which are from France……
And I experimented with the two toile pillows in front too….also so pretty!
A little store biz. I am getting a big batch of monogrammed linens soon, they make a great gift for the holidays. And monogrammed soap, necklace and candle orders will be taken right up until Dec. 14th to guarantee Christmas delivery. I am going to be taking a brief hiatus around Dec. 23rd to get the household ready for the holidays and will be processing orders right up to around Dec.22nd. As usual any questions, you may have please feel free to contact me and ask away!
Dough bowls..got a nice surprise. A really nice surprise! Got a few extra. The 12 I got were sold almost immediately but I do have as of last night 2 small, 4 med and 2 large! Take a look at how pretty…….since there were many emails, at this point I will say its first come first serve. If interested kindly email me here.
Love this big handpainted tole tub…only two $140 each
Got in six more of the Chateau trays 24 x 16 $90..big and perfect for serving and/or display!
Got a few new styles of napkin rings…these are so great looking! Remember if you want these for Christmas your order must be in no later than Nov. 24th for a guaranteed Christmas delivery. All styles featured on my posts are available even if you don’t yet see them in the online store.Seriously these just get prettier and prettier…….
Bear pulling basket of fruit
Bear and bee hive
Adorable pooch (not sure what kind?) with his doggie bowl
Cat painting at his easel…..check the detail!
LOVE these!!
I do love my planters, I love changing them out seasonally.Starting to “experiement” and have to say I am loving the result…..a sneak peek, but only one…as I am devoting an entire post to this next week:)
I line the entire bottom with scented pine cones, it looks pretty and smells fabulous!
I am very happy to announce that my New Arrivals will be updated with a bunch of gorgeous fresh products, most of them are limited availability ( a few of each item) but some really fabulous pieces by next Tuesday…not too early to be thinking of gifts though if you are like me you are normally thinking about what you would like to buy yourself.
Told you this was long. When I ramble…..I raaaaaamble! What happens is I start this at the beginning of the week and add on throughout the week and by the end, well I have a lot to say! Hope you are still with me and if you reading this, you get a special bonus for being a devoted reader and I really really appreciate and thank you for that! Wishing everyone a fabulous and relaxing weekend. Be back on Monday or Tuesday……
Wow! That was a lot to take in and so, so worth it! I loved every bit of it! That wedding!! Oh, Mylanta as my daughter says! They really did pull out all of the stops! So glamorous! I would have loved to have been there! Those chocolates are fabulous, your linens, planters, dough bowls, napkin rings, guest room…ALL Fabulous!!! Loved all of the ideas! And…to top it off that shop was amazing! I would love to see it in person! I also cannot wait to check out that site with the gift giving ideas! I have to tell you that that salad dressing that she has shown in made right in my own neighborhood practically! No lie, it started out being sold in a shop where I frequent often for the best shoes in the world! She sold it right there at the register, made from scratch and just about a year ago it started going into our local neighborhood grocery store! It is amazing…I hardly ever make my own anymore because this one is divine!!! It is ALWAYS in my fridge! You really out to try it! It’s the T-Lish! I promise you won’t be sorry! I for one am ordering some chocolates today! Have a great weekend, Tina!
Love this post! The trip to Boston looks fun and I’m really loving all of the new dough bowls! That guest bedroom is out of this world beautiful! I bet your guest will not want to leave! Oh and that wedding pic looks amazing! That must have been fun to getaway and enjoy a night out!Have a great weekend! XOXO
Hi Tina, this is like a magazine! How fun. That wedding is incredible, how glamorous! The trip to Boston sounds like so much fun, have to tell my sister in law about her shop (they just moved there in June). Love all your shop goodies, the tray and dough bowls especially. I love mine that I got from you and just filled it with bulbs to sprout I hope next month.I also appreciate the chocolate tip, how clever to be able to customize a box. My favorite thing here is your guest room, it is divine. I would really not ever want to leave that room, so be careful of who you invite, haha!
Too much to comment on Tina:) … But…. I would adore those angel wings in your shots… they would look fabulous in my sitting room… And as for See’s candy.. someone bought me a box… I think I ate the lot!!
My daughter is in Boston this weekend so I am going to tell her to go and have a look at Amy’s shop… Have a fabulous weekend…
Gorgeous guest room! Would you mind sharing the fabric choices? Your fabricator also does fabulous work, I need a really good fabricator, mine retired.
The drawings for your shop are so beautiful, you are right she is so talented. Allergic to chocolate probably just as well 🙂
That Chateau tray, dough bowls and napkins rings are just great and so unique. What a nice shop your friend has, love that chair..and what a wedding!!
Great, great post, Tina! I love Amy, been following her blog for quite a while now, and she inspires me a great deal, like you do!
The wedding picture you took of the couple looks straight of a magazine spread of a fantasy wedding. Ah-Mazingly stunning!!! That must have been spectacular.
Your guest room, oh my word, sheer perfection! I love that little settee at the end of the bed. Adore the night tables too.
Great list of gift suggestions, will keep them in mind for sure!
Tina, whenever you begin a post telling us it’s going to be a long one, I get very excited because I know I will be in for some pure eye candy. Love the shop in Boston. My husband is from there so I will make sure to stop in this summer when we go back East. Your new logo is the epitome of you and your blog. So creative and beautiful.Love your guest room and can’t see enough pics of it or your house. Have you ever considered contacting Traditional Home or Veranda on doing a story on your beautiful home? Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Tina – I don’t even know where to begin! What a post filled with loveliness! I can’t wait to really check out the gift guide in more depth and have to make a note to be sure to visit Maison Decor next time I am in Boston. Your new logo is wonderful! And, as always, I want one of everythng in your shop for ME – I end up spending more on myself this time of year than on gifts which is a habit I need to break immediately. I love your long posts – more fun and prettiness!
Wow, Tina! This was one great start to a Saturday!! I love Amy’s shop. She really can do it all! I really need that paste. This really could beat my old standby. I dare you mention chocolate to me while I am on my pre-Chrsitmas diet, lol, but I have to take a peek anyway! Looks fabulous! And the shopping list fantastic!! Can you believe it is almost here. Christmas posts start next Friday. Your bedroom…dreamland. Do you ever make a mistake? I think not, as everything is always perfect! And our friend, Jeanne, is she not the most talented artist? I love everything she does, and what she has done for you is so beautiful. Well, I got to relax and finish a cup of hot apple cider while visiting your lovely blog. Doesn’t get any better than that. Happy Saturday. Teresa xoxo
Tina, always enjoy your random post, full of wonderful information and eye candy!! Love that you share your experiences and knowledge with us all out here in blogland, xo Kathysue
Tina, What a gorgeous post!! Love it all! That wedding must have been beautiful! Oh dear!! The aquarelle of your front door is indeed awesome! Tina your guestroom is TO DIE FOR!!!!! I have to show these pictures to one of my clients!!! Have you ever mentionned the brand of the fabrics you used here? Oh my god, this is soooooooooo beautiful! If you don’t mind I would love to know the brands! Tina , I now have exactly 696 pictures of your home filed! I am in love with your home!! I could move in immediately!!! Have a great weekend! xx Greet
A perfect post to read on a lovely Sat morning. First of all, I would love to be a guest in that gorgeous guest room. Any chance of renting it out? ha ha. Thanks for the sneaky pics of the wedding you went to………….I LOVE anything to do with weddings. I should be a wedding planner. Maybe in my next life. And the little snippet from this wedding looks like it was beautiful. I’m loving all three of your new LOGO’s .. what a sweet little touch to add in with someone’s purchase. A thoughtful touch, Tina. Have a great day.
Yes! With ya all the way Tina and loved it all. Congratulations to Amy.. Wow! She has done an amazing job. Your guest bedroom in GORGEOUS Tina and the fabric is beautiful. Sees candies are the best.. I always have boxes around over the holidays. Great idea to create your own box! Jeanne did a beautiful job on your logo 🙂 It’s so soft and pretty.
I’m off to start the day.. long to-list. I will be working Wednesday (forgot to take the day off and patients are scheduled..can’t believe I did that!) so I’m trying to get as much done ahead of time as I can. Fortunately it won’t be a large group!
Where do I begin? Love Sees chocolates! Neat that you can make your own box. Your guest room is the most beautiful bedroom ever. Wow, lucky guests who get to stay, they may never leave the room!Love the cat painting napkin ring, they are all so whimsical and fun.
Tina- that wedding is like a fairytale but it must not have been easy to pull it off in the middle of so much chaos. Your friends shop and your artist friend are both really talented. There…I think I managed to address it all. Oh and I love your last picture with the urn, so beautiful. Have a nice weekend.
I love how you switch up your header…wish I could do that! I have shipped See’s candies too…only in the cooler months. Great news you can choose your own…I smiled about the cherry bite…I feel the same way. My brother used to poke holes in all the bottoms…ick.
Tina, THANK YOU so much for the shout out and the very kind words. I had so much fun working on this project with you, and am beyond happy that you are pleased with the results. What a thrill to try to capture the essence of what makes The Enchanted Home so enchanting. I would collaborate with you any day! Hope you get lots and lots of use from the artwork. Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO
Wow, so much great stuff here! Bravo to you and Jeannie for those fabulous cards, what a special touch they will make. You have so many great gift ideas here. I gave those fur hot water bottles from RH to some friends last year, they loved them! Maison Decor looks like a splendid spot indeed! Thanks for sharing all of this fabulousness!
Well, everything and the pictures were so wonderful, it made for a good ramble. So many fabulous goodies. This is a hard part of year for me, because, when I buy something for someone, I have to buy myself one or two things! Bummer. lol Thanks for sharing. Blessings Paula
So much beauty, I am sure I will forget something. The guest room is really exquisite, love how soothing and soft it is. Those napkin rings are so great, I would love Santa to leave me a set under the tree 🙂
Your friends shop is beautiful as is the work of your artist friend. Such talent. I love your urn at the bottom, so beautiful in that soft lighting. Hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend. This was such great eye candy and the perfect addition to my afternoon tea.
Charming shop, Maison Decor. On the drive to my Doctor’s office I pass a See’s candy store. I usually stop and stock up. My favorite candy! The note you enclosed with my tray I bought from your store is of the entrance with the planters and of the choices I like it best.
Alexandra and I will be making Maison Decor one of our “places to go” when I come up to the city to see her. There were so many things I just had to have as I looked at each photo. What a wonderful job she has done!!
One of Kenny’s aunts used to send us See’s candy each year. We would hide it from each other!!
The guest room is lovely. Soothing. A place I would love to curl up and read. Everything is coming together so well.
The wedding looks quite marvelous. So happy that all went well despite the weather.
And the bowls. You are just teasing me with those. I always think I am safe when I read that they are sold out immediately. Now I have to get my tape measure out and see what I should do……
I think all that can be said is “WOW”!! Everything posted is wonderful!! Your pictures of your visit to Maison Decor do justice to the actual beauty of the shop, and Amy! You captured the beauty of the detail and color, not to mention the overall scape (or scope) of the shop and its merchandise!
I absolutely love your logo for your stationary, notepads and thank-yous!
I could go on and on…….this post is chalk-full of lushness!!
Tina One word GEORGEOUS!!!! Love to read your posts, you take so much trouble to give so much information and detail – THOSE DRAPES!!! love the amaryllis in the urn – need to do that with my urn. Take care and have a wondeful week!
I think I’m still trying to close my mouth after seeing your guest bedroom. Every time I see a photo of one of your rooms it takes my breath away, whether it’s a crappy iPhone pick or not. You have done a stunning job of that room. Hard to believe it’s for guests, they won’t want to leave. Every detail is so beautifully thought out, and the whole room just oozes style and elegance. I’m sure we’ll see your house grace the pages of Veranda or Architectural Digest very soon!
Oh my so much fun in one post! Would love to see Amy’s shop – I have been a follower of hers for ages and it has been fun seeing the transformation from the beginning to the fantastic shop it is now!
Love your fabric for your bedroom!!!!! It is so elegant and the room is coming along beautifully!
You were in my hometown of Boston! Oh how I love this shop and all the winding streets that my husband and I frequented with much admiration. YOU HAD A BLAST, I COULD TELL! AND CHOCOLATE? Well then, we are great friends because I have to have it daily.
Your canopy above your bed is fabulous, your home looks great, and are you prepping for Thanksgiving? I also love what the artist did for you for your logo; it is absolutely YOU!
Precious Tina! THANK YOU FOR VISITING TODAY! You are too too kind! And I can suspect that your Thanksgiving table is going to be FABULOUS! Love and MORE LOVE TO YOU! Anita
WOW! tina, your ramblings are a delight to your fond readers! love seeing amy’s new shop, your gift ideas and the oh so beautiful guest bedroom! the blend of fabrics are stunning and create a lovely mix! a blessed thanksgiving to you and yours xo debra
Wow that wedding looks like a dream. And your gift choices are amazing..it’s like a little Enchanted Home boutique! I hope you have an amazing week and a wonderful Thanksgiving! xo Sharon
Love your home and progress you are making. I was looking at your guest room and have a suggestion. Two slinder very tall gilded mirrors just above your nightstand would give wonderful reflection and add romance to the room. Larger lamps would also add balance to your canopy. you will love the difference that will make. 🙂
so much lovely represented here! i love amy’s shop and both she and jeanne feel like pals though we’ve never met! jeanne’s artwork is fabulous so i can see why you are so thrilled.
about the chocolate thing. i’m gay for it. yep. and not far from me is one of the most fabulous chocolate shops (artisan) with incredible truffles. you come visit, and i will try to get us in the kitchen with the chocolatier to learn the magic.
smiles and happy almost-thanksgiving, lovely blogger.
It is in point of fact a nice and useful piece of information.

Good afternoon! Your room is spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all and am so excited for you that it is finished.
And the chocolate, love Sees!
Too many beautiful things for your shop, I have to get in there and shop.
I love all of the gift guides! So many great things for family and friends.
Have a fabulous weekend, Elizabeth

Alexandra and I will be making Maison Decor one of our “places to go” when I come up to the city to see her. There were so many things I just had to have as I looked at each photo. What a wonderful job she has done!!
One of Kenny’s aunts used to send us See’s candy each year. We would hide it from each other!!
The guest room is lovely. Soothing. A place I would love to curl up and read. Everything is coming together so well.
The wedding looks quite marvelous. So happy that all went well despite the weather.
And the bowls. You are just teasing me with those. I always think I am safe when I read that they are sold out immediately. Now I have to get my tape measure out and see what I should do……
Thank you for such a fun filled post!
Wow, wow, wow! So many interesting and beautiful things to share. I am in awe as always. Thank you!
I think all that can be said is “WOW”!! Everything posted is wonderful!! Your pictures of your visit to Maison Decor do justice to the actual beauty of the shop, and Amy! You captured the beauty of the detail and color, not to mention the overall scape (or scope) of the shop and its merchandise!
I absolutely love your logo for your stationary, notepads and thank-yous!
I could go on and on…….this post is chalk-full of lushness!!
Tina
One word GEORGEOUS!!!! Love to read your posts, you take so much trouble to give so much information and detail – THOSE DRAPES!!!
love the amaryllis in the urn – need to do that with my urn. Take care and have a wondeful week!
I think I’m still trying to close my mouth after seeing your guest bedroom. Every time I see a photo of one of your rooms it takes my breath away, whether it’s a crappy iPhone pick or not. You have done a stunning job of that room. Hard to believe it’s for guests, they won’t want to leave. Every detail is so beautifully thought out, and the whole room just oozes style and elegance. I’m sure we’ll see your house grace the pages of Veranda or Architectural Digest very soon!
Oh my so much fun in one post! Would love to see Amy’s shop – I have been a follower of hers for ages and it has been fun seeing the transformation from the beginning to the fantastic shop it is now!
Love your fabric for your bedroom!!!!! It is so elegant and the room is coming along beautifully!
Oh my and that wedding!
bee blessed

Hi Tina, Love the post the guest bedroom is beautiful.What lucky guests you have they will not want to leave the room.Trish
GOOD MORNING TINA!
You were in my hometown of Boston! Oh how I love this shop and all the winding streets that my husband and I frequented with much admiration. YOU HAD A BLAST, I COULD TELL! AND CHOCOLATE? Well then, we are great friends because I have to have it daily.
Your canopy above your bed is fabulous, your home looks great, and are you prepping for Thanksgiving? I also love what the artist did for you for your logo; it is absolutely YOU!
Have a pleasant Sunday my dear, Anita
Precious Tina! THANK YOU FOR VISITING TODAY! You are too too kind! And I can suspect that your Thanksgiving table is going to be FABULOUS! Love and MORE LOVE TO YOU! Anita
Love these rambling blogs! Carry on and happy thanksgiving to you and family! Carol P.

The box pleat detail on the bed canopy and trim details are beautiful! Amazing job. Can’t wait to see everything finished. Your home is stunning!
Love your home and progress you are making. I was looking at your guest room and have a suggestion. Two slinder very tall gilded mirrors just above your nightstand would give wonderful reflection and add romance to the room. Larger lamps would also add balance to your canopy. you will love the difference that will make. 🙂
so much lovely represented here! i love amy’s shop and both she and jeanne feel like pals though we’ve never met! jeanne’s artwork is fabulous so i can see why you are so thrilled.
about the chocolate thing. i’m gay for it. yep. and not far from me is one of the most fabulous chocolate shops (artisan) with incredible truffles. you come visit, and i will try to get us in the kitchen with the chocolatier to learn the magic.
smiles and happy almost-thanksgiving, lovely blogger.
