LEOPARD LOVER

I have to say, I am really partial to black and tan animals and animal prints
MY CUTE BLACK AND TAN ANIMALS

...specifically,

LEOPARD!
I must say restraint is needed when using leopard in design. The old adage LESS IS MORE is definitely true. If a little is good, then more must be better doesn't work here. No, that can be a train wreck. Just ONE pop of leopard works. Whether it be in the way of a handbag, shoes (not both), a sweater or belt when getting dressed or a throw, a pillow, a small upholstered piece, an area rug or a decorative accessory in a room, it can create some excitement and sophistication in your outfit or room.
Just remember a little goes a long way.
Does l
eopard suit your personality?





















AREN'T THESE COASTERS CUTE?
YOU CAN FIND THEM IN MY ETSY SHOP






It's no wonder my niece calls me "Aunt Leopard"!!!!!

Yummy upholstery and pretty pillows


A room Rachel Ashwell could love


I have this Aubusson rug in my bathroom...Love it, Love it, Love it


Love the Lucite chairs, so French and edgy with the Damask cushions


Beautifully tall windows and great pop of pink!


Don't you wish this was your neighborhood???


White with a splash


Fabric on canvas stretchers propped against the walls
Who needs art? Wait, that is art!


Aren't these gorgeous panels??


Pretty window treatments...so soft and flowing.
The painted white floor is so fresh and crisp


This ceiling's to die for...what intricate detail


Wall panels and grouped art for sophisticated interest in a room



Such pretty pastels mixed with contemporary clean lines


Cabbage rose wall paper with a sophisticated twist...and how about this daybed? It's soooooo pretty.


What a glamorous and sophisticated room. This is such a great way of grouping of photos. Who wouldn't love this wall color. It reminds me of one of my favorite stores...hmm and maybe yours too?


Limestone mantels and herringbone parquet floors...so French
