Palm Beach Real Estate

Here we are halfway through December?! I wonder if I will ever be fully prepared for the holidays? This weekend, we took a break from our usual routine, and headed to Palm Beach. It's amazing how different the PB homes look from Naples real estate.

I was online looking for outdoor lanterns on real homes, my new favorite way to search, and I stumbled upon

this listing

.

Of course I had to check out the inside...but first, more of the outside.

Love these lanterns.

You can see more of this listing,

. Do you look at real estate sites for home ideas?

Mecox....Again

 

I know I have professed my undying love for Mecox Gardens, so it should be no surprise that on my most recent trip to Palm Beach.....I had an uncontrollable desire to visit, again. 

This ginger jar looks exactly like my pair.

I could barely contain my excitement when I saw this lucite wave sculpture.

It is identical to the one I brought home from Boston!

I'll be back in about five weeks, Mecox.....wait for me!

 

Circa Who? Me!

Today, we are heading home after a long weekend in Palm Beach. We went for a visit with my In-Laws. After years of coming so close but never making it.......I finally went into Cira Who! 

The store did not disappoint. It is floor to ceiling Palm Beach Chic goodness. 

The isles are narrow which made it impossible to shoot pictures straight on.

I found out the name of the company that applies this amazing lacquer finish to the furniture and I'll post on them soon. 

I'm so ready to start decorating, again. Unfortunately house hunting is going very, very slowly. For now, I'll just keep planning.

 

Shopping in Palm Beach

I think we should all take a moment and complain about how unusually cold it is. I'll start, I am FFFFF-Freezing!! It was 7 degrees yesterday. Why is Mother Nature treating me like my parents do, and favoring someone else?

Back to my retail stalking while I was in Palm Beach. Since my brain barely functions during normal weather, I'll just post more pretty pictures for inspiration and ideas.

I hope you guys are over brass, because I am not and I really don't want any competition.

Did you know that this existed? Now I am on the hunt, big time!!

I'm not apologizing for the blurry photo. Get over it.

Welcome to my holiday decor for next year. This year, it's at Mecox Gardens.

I need an octagonal planter. I want this one.

I love this tropical display. It reminds me of the planter
that Albertina's husband brought home.

Digging the peppermints in the ginger jar.

I loved this store. It was on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. 

I did not catch the name and since they were not nice to me, I have no guilt over it.

I am dying over this driftwood table. Every time I see driftwood, I think of Beth. She has told me in no uncertain terms that she will never warm up to driftwood. Of course that makes it my mission to convince her, otherwise. 

I definitely think that this would fit into a Chinoiserie Chic room. What do you think?

Could you ever have enough baskets?

This one is for my sponsor (aka husband) who makes this ridiculous lifestyle possible without question. A pineapple made out of golf clubs. Maybe you could donate yours, Honey?

And that, my friends, is the end of my visual tour. 

Now go ahead, complain about your weather....or anything else you want to get off your chest. 

Love ya!

 

Naples & Palm Beach

Well Hello! Happy 2014 to all of you.

This is my first post of the new year. We were traveling between Naples and Palm Beach over the Holidays and it was so hard to leave the 80 degree weather returning to the bitter cold and snow. I am also in the beginning withdrawal stages of a Candy Crush addiction. I thought it would be fun to play the game my kids were playing. WELL, let's just say that I know how to get free lives and where to find gaming tips. I am quitting cold turkey... until our next trip. 

I feel like I have so many things I want to tell you, but I don't want to drop it all on you in one post. I am going to try and keep lists of my blog posts to help keep me organized... that's the extent of my 'goal setting' for the new year. I'm actually seeking balance in my life for 2014. Does anyone know where I can buy some ;)

After two more days of driving around Naples and looking at Communities, Lifestyles, and homes....I am thrilled to report that we are all in agreement on the section of Naples we would like to live in. I am sure you will understand when I tell you that I will be keeping that private. Now we sit and wait for the right home to come on the market.

I also found some time to visit a few stores that I love. They did not disappoint with lovely inspiration in abundance.

I want to live in Mecox Gardens in Palm Beach.

I think I'll share more pictures with you in my next post. 
Did you see anything that appeals to you? I want all of it. Now!
I can't wait to go visit all of your blogs and see what you have been posting about.

 

Nantucket Style....Seekers Bazaar

This is the second to last post on my Nantucket Style series. Hold down the applause, please. Like so many of my previous posts...I have a guest. Junell from Seekers Bazaar is here to entertain us. If you are not familiar with her blog, she is a tad sarcastic (LOVE THAT), always fresh and new (pinning possibilities), and is non stop Palm Beach Chic (works for me). 

Be sure to check out her Pinterest boards. She goes by the name Paige....probably in the witness protection program, or something?

Lilly Pulitzer Golf Cart

Hop on! We're gonna' take a tour around Nantucket Island Palm Beach Chic Style! Nantucket & Palm Beach Chic both resonate the total prepster package. Let's imagine what a little Palm Beach Chic would look like in the land of salty, cedar shakes.

First stop is Tommy Hilfiger's lovely home above on the shore ~ can't you just imagine this delightful bedroom below tucked away in an upstairs dormer room?

Garnet Hill Lilly Pulitzer Bedding

Continuing along on the Lilly Mobile we find a beautiful seaside home lined up with classic white Adirondack chairs. Lovely. Lovely.

Would love to get my hands on the 'rondacks & spray the heck out of them; thinking a commanding pink... They would totally rock against the weathered gray shakes wouldn't you say???

Our little tour would not be complete without some touches of PBC signature color green. While this little number below belonging to Laura Day is in the Hampton's I imagine it would fit nicely down a sandy lane in Nantucket.

Decidedly PBC below from the Divine Miss Schultz's Bee Cottage. I think this would be just perfect in Nantucket along with the portrait of Miss Schultz. Wallpaper heaven ~ loving this cane pattern & the green is 'gawjus."

Round the bend is this delightful cottage in Sconset, Nantucket.

This preppy Lilly room would work great in the dining room above, think???

Which is where I am heading the Lilly Mobile as touring the island has me parched & hungry. Hope they are having lobster rolls & Pink Salty Dogs!
