Before I start anything, I just want to say my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan, it is still surreal that this has happened and I am fearful that we do not yet know the true extent of damage and loss. May God protect them and guide them in the difficult days ahead during the recovery process.
Good morning! My apologies for the drawing not happening yesterday...I was away for a couple of days, it was a bit of a crazy and unexpectedly long day, and didn't get back until late last night. Incidentally I still tried to arrange the drawing via random.org but there was some kind of technical glitch which was making me nuts, after almost an hour of trying (1am)....it still was not working. I was exhausted at this point and decided to start fresh again this morning. It must have needed its rest too because it worked and I am thrilled to announce we have a winner!!CONGRATULATIONS TO
VALARIE OF GLITTERY DAYS AND NIGHTS
YOU HAVE WON THE LAMPS.....Thank you Swank lighting!(I have left you a message but please get in touch with me by Monday night)
Moving on...... to a Designer spotlight post, another designer whose work is awe inspiring to me is Dallas based Cathy Kincaid, someone whose work I have long admired but only in the past couple of years, did I put the face to the name of the creator of so many rooms whose pages I have stored in my "inspiration folder". Her rooms make my heart go pitter patter for all their old world splendor. Cathy Kincaid whose office is in Texas has a talent that matches the size of the state! She, along with her design team designs timeless, inviting, formal but cozy gorgeous rooms that look like they have been there a long time. Her use of colors and accessorizing is brilliant as is evidenced by these stunning rooms. Below is a collection of interiors that she has done.....I would classify her style as old world traditional which is very much my own personal taste. Can you possibly pick a favorite? I can't choose just one, I seriously am in love with each and every one!

Beautiful and elegant twin beds in all their canopied glory!

Her amazing ability to mix fabrics and colors is evident in this fabulous living room....

Love how she used the printed wallpaper with the bed fabric so magnificently!

This beautiful foyer is an example of her ability to create new interiors that look old....

Love the color of this room and how interesting that she made the walls glossy!
