Unique Cheese Boards

Thursday, July 18, 2013

Its almost the weekend and you know what that means...time for a dinner party! Which means its time to start planning food displays of course! Okay, so you may not be Martha Stewart, but adding small details can make you seem like you are.
I love a unique cheese board. It can be quite a conversation piece! No, seriously. Most people eat with their eyes first. Food just looks so much more delicious when presented in an interesting way, and this is one way that requires very little skill or effort. So go ahead, get a fun cheese board, relax, and just be your charming self!
 
My husband and I bought this Maple burl cheese board on Church Street from Vermont Butcher Block & Board Company last summer when we lived in Burlington. Each piece is completely unique. I love it so much!

I found this reclaimed slate cheese board on Etsy. Totally goes with the chalkboard style right now!

These boards are made of olive wood from West Elm. Olive wood has always intrigued me, it just looks so smooth and has beautiful natural grain. 

This Farm Friends Marble cheese board is just for fun. I mean, I love pigs (and cows). Who doesn't?!
 
I found an Etsy shop that has maple burls similar to mine. So elegant. 



What do you like to have at your dinner parties? Something that is a conversation piece? Something simple that allows the food to stand on its own? Just lots of wine? Tell me about your last dinner party or one that you're planning now! Have a great weekend!

Moroccan Inspired Interiors

Thursday, July 11, 2013

The other night on Bravo's new show Property Envy, one of the houses featured was a Moroccan inspired home in California. I've always loved Moorish inspiration, particularly the arches & wall carvings, and Pinterest makes it so easy to find new ideas for renovating or even just decorating Moroccan-style. 

Insanely gorgeous windows!

 Incredible craving detail in the archway.

Living area arches & slotted windows opening to a shaded pool.

Home decor: A quick fix
Seafoam green walls with carved wood adds a nice touch to the entryway.

A great way to turn your backyard into a serene, romantic hangout. Who doesn't love lanterns?


What ethnic/time period styles do you love? Do you have any more ideas for Moorish/Moroccan home decor? Please share them with me!
