Acorn Cottage {Den}

 The sunlight was so beautiful yesterday evening that I decided to finally take current photos of the back den. The rear den is where J and I spend most of our time lounging and watching T.V.

We recently added a new skirted storage ottoman, and the fabric is Schumacher. I love the bamboo trellis pattern. Touches of coral (or as James Farmer says "carl") in the pillows and throws adds to the coziness of the room. You may also notice a new rug. The colors of the rug help to give the room a relaxed, homey feel. There is definitely a comfort-level to the den.

Oh! A new oyster plate by Bridgeman Pottery purchased from Garden & Gun's Fieldshop hangs next to a Hunt Slonem paiting.

In the Den, y'all!

Acorn Cottage {Festing in Place}

 Last year my sign arrived after the Jazz Fest weekends, so I did not get to display it. I'm glad I located it. Jazz Fest would normally be held this weekend and next.

The sign created by Jazz Fest artist, Nan Parati, is displayed on our front fence. The addition of gingham ribbons represent the Jazz Fest-inspired flags. I am one who much rathers Jazz Fest from the comforts of my front porch. The drinks are cold, and the music on WWOZ is awesome.

I also still love my Jazz Fest-inspired door hanger by Cynthia Kolls.

Festing in Place, y'all!

In the Garden {Jasmine}

 Spring blooms bring such wonderful sights and even better scents. The jasmine blooming in the yard is intoxicating. 

Jasmine, y'all!
