Dining Room
I think the fleur-de-lis is my favorite part of the whole place.....
My mom found it at a cute antique store in La Jolla. It was damaged so it was under $20!
After a little Gorilla Glue and MANY coats of crackle paint it's as good as new.
I have a butler in my dining room.

So I lied....we bought a couple of other things.We found this cute Nicole Miller trash can at Tuesday Morning.
La Cocina
Grace Kelly says, "Come to Taylor's house! Bring Taittinger, s'il vous plait." 
Plenty o' stemware......
And is that a margarita pitcher I see? With tahitian highball tumblers?
This is the schmancy house warming coffee maker my dad and Linda bought for me! It grinds the beans and then automatically puts them into the filter thing and starts brewing. I still haven't gotten tired of watching it do its thing in the morning.
To the bathroom.........

This fun tray is in my bathroom....I like her.

This fun tray is in my bathroom....I like her.
She looks like how I feel at the end of a long day when
the only thing I want in life is a glass of wine.
My mom bought her for me for my birthday.
