everyday home...karen's collected colorful creations...



"i like to surround myself/home with objects given to me.  i am reminded of 
and still feel the sentiment of the gift long after it was given..."  karen getchell



beautiful karen in her beautiful home
inspired this post when she allowed me to roam
through the colorful collections curated with care...
inspired creative design that i wanted to share...




favorite room in your home...my guest room in purple and green
favorite artists...andrew wyeth, mike smith...the best i've ever seen.
thankful for...my life...the people in it...and my dog dot!
i dream about...painting pictures in my art room in my favorite spot.
 
 
 





tomatoes, green pears, plaid blankets and pens
collected colorful and curated...where do i begin?
favorite colors...purple and green and red
everyday style...whimsy, surprises, classic in my head
favorite meal...grilled cheese, tomato soup prepared with care...
favorite vacation spot...by the ocean...simply anywhere!
 
 
 
 
 




when i visited karen in late spring
her garden so beautiful had started to sing!
tomatoes were planted and roses growing green
geraniums and petunias...everywhere to be seen
an angel tucked just so and many collected chairs
her favorite a tomato red one...to sit upon to share...
and the joy of dear dog dot
nestled in the green green grass in her special spot...
