Shopping Abroad: Mercredi Home Bali

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

When I travel I love to drag my traveling companions into every home store I can find! And in Bali, there are lots of amazing options, but my favorite was Mercredi Home. It was full of unique textiles, accessories, pillows and small pieces of furniture and was a really lovely blend of Indonesian and European style. If you are ever in Bali - you have to visit! 
I loved this bright hued bedding!


A great combo of blues and neutrals


I wanted all of these colorful, gauzy sarongs! 


I am always a sucker for pillows. . . 

These beautiful natural votive holders were carved out of coconuts

How pretty would these tassels hung over drawer pulls - so decorative! 





Even their bags were stylish. . .  I certainly will be back next time I visit!

I already want to go back {we walked along this cliff to reach the small temple above} Thanks for letting me share!

{little leaf trays of flowers, incense food in leaf trays are scattered all around as offerings}


{peaceful rice fields}

{each home or building has its own small shrine to the gods - I love that traditional black and white check!}


{great surfers beach - love the color of the water there}

Fabulous Photography: IKEA Kitchenware as Art

Friday, April 13, 2012



I adore seeing the beauty of everyday objects - and this fine art photography of basic IKEA kitchenware is a fabulously creative example - so unexpected and graphic! I could certainly live with one of these lovely images on my wall . . . the bold indigo, sky blue, and magenta color scheme of the one above is perfect for my living room. Beautiful!





Here's to capturing the beauty in life each day! Have a wonderful weekend!
