yesterday…i was able to go and see the beautiful filoli…located in woodside, ca…it is the official site of the “carrington mansion” that what used in the filming of the show…dynasty…
during this time of year…the mansion is decorated in holiday decor…and this year’s theme featured the wise old owl…it is a great way to get into the holiday spirit…and what i love…is to always pick up a new decorating idea or two…
i often get asked where i draw from for inspiration…sometimes a magazine…sometimes an outfit someone has so beautifully put together…but most times…i see colors in nature that so incredibly go together…such as the fall leaves…is it any wonder this is my favorite time of year?
although we here in lovely northern california get excited about our 1 in every 10 trees that turns colors…i will take it where i can find it…as in these lovely pics…
front of the mansion entering in…love the bears…and signs…
i always get a kick out of mannequins being dressed in unique ways…this was the entrance to the kitchen…black & white always works…although i think i was more thrilled with the “pail” in place of a head…ok…truth be told…it was the message…my motto…for sure…
stay tuned…tomorrow i will post more pics of some of the rooms…and how beautifully decorated they were…
