Just a quick peek at the amazing house I was able to view this week.

A simply stunning home right here

in the neighborhood. A photo tour of the property

will post tomorrow. Enjoy your Friday!

Tour: A 1920's Theater

Join me for a tour of the Texas Theater in Seguin, Texas. One of the few remaining 1920's theaters. Untouched by drastic renovations it remains much like it appeared 90 years ago.


Gargoyles still standing guard ferociously.

Stunning detail, they just don't make them like this anymore.

Amazing light fixtures - in working order.

Thank you for coming with me on this tour of a Texas treasure.

Please take a seat.

Please take a seat- we did. On a recent stroll through a local antique venue. Not really looking for anything in particular we found this charming little settee. Never a fan of settees before, to fall hard for this little gem was quite a surprise. Of course the peach velvet will be going before long.

How perfectly it fits right in the back. Home we go!

Cross...

your fingers and your toes. 5 days 4 hours and 43 minutes until auction closes.

Jules Rules

Julie & Julia is the best movie I've seen in ages. The kind of movie you almost don't want to end. Meryl Streep is perfection. The sets are some kind of wonderful. Julia Child's Paris kitchen is second only to the kitchen supply store where they shop for copper pots. Yum.

So I couldn't help but lean over to my guy and whisper "Do you see it?" , when the Paris kitchen was first shown. Do YOU see it? My stove's look-a-like front and center.

Jules you rule.

The Look for Less

I blogged of my adoration for this fixture HERE and Urban Archaeology sells the gorgeous Boathouse pendant for $690-$950 depending on the finish. Love it. Want it. Just can't afford it.

And the Look for Less version from Pottery Barn Kids for only $69! After visiting our local Pottery Barn outlet I quickly discovered that PBKids is a smart solution for any age group. A good looking alternative that doesn't break the bank.

Found : Vintage Prevost Etchings

Found. A set of 70 year old Jean-Louis Prevost etchings. Pristine except for the slightest patina of age, just the barest yellow cast.


And marked down to a mere 20 dollars at a local antique mall. Perfect. Can't wait to get them framed and on the wall.
