Friday Fun Stuff…Christmas Gifts for the Design Obsessed and a Milieu Subscription Giveaway


This would be the ultimate Christmas gift in my mind.  Pamela Pierce is running a special for subscribers, buy two gift subscriptions and receive one for free.  If that isn’t enough she is also running a contest now through March 15th to win a room in your home designed by Pam herself.   I have to be honest there are very few that I would trust to decorate a room in my home but I would have no problem with this one!! Go here to enter and subscribe https://www.milieu-mag.com/Story?storyId=125, or see below for a chance to win your own subscription!

Love these chargers from PB that we used on the table for Berries and Branches.  I was sooo tempted to purchase these for myself.  They have a great aged pewter look that would work with any dĂ©cor style.



All of the design books listed can be purchased on Amazon or better yet at your local independent book store.  You can get the complete list of my favorites go here http://www.pinterest.com/chattersley/design-book-favs/.

  2. I just love your taste. Went to PB and saw the chargers…if I just had more storage space! I like that they are light weight. I would love to win a subscription. People may think it was rigged though :) I'm going to your Facebook page now.
