ORC - To Beam ... or Not to Beam

I am contemplating beams this week ... as part of our One Room Challenge, I have a room with beams.  

What to do with them?

I can highlight them.  This is my favorite.

I can make them disappear. I may need to do this because of the shorter ceiling height.

Cote de Texas

Or I can reverse highlight!  This is Happy.

I'd love to hear how you beam!

Reindeer Food

Holiday Show House

I have no idea if this is what Irwin Feld was thinking when he put this fabulous Reindeer in the fireplace ... but it seems to me like a nod to the wonderful tradition of children (including mine) that leave a little food out for Santa's reindeer on Christmas Eve!  Love the faux fur bench and striped screen ... and did you notice the ORANGE pillow ... ahhhh!

A little fur behind the orange ... so fun and glam.  Feld looks pleased ... He should !!

Now ... a Big Shout Out to Joni at Cote de Texas!  Joni posted my kitchen on her blog this week ... Mine is not a "showcase" kitchen, it is real and lived in and done with love ... Thank you Joni!  If y'all don't follow her ... you should!  She has impeccable taste and has given us access to some of the most beautiful Texas homes.  She also co-hosts The Skirted Roundtable where she interviews fascinating Movers and Shakers in the Industry!

Have a wonderful week ... things are moving and shaking around here ... getting myself and everyone else Holiday Ready!
