Back to business. I've been away with my family to a place where the worlds greatest designer surely made his mark! Where, you ask? Chateaugay Lake- the most northern lake in the Adirondacks.
Nine days with no cell phones, TV, radio, or internet-
It is our Heaven on earth!

Last Monday I skipped the Monday Mix because I was guest posting at the Vintique Object. I hope you had a chance to visit Camille's blog and check that out. My little guy was quite proud that his bedroom was featured on a blog!
Today's Monday Mix: Umbrellas and Decor

Perfect!
Umbrellas in rain boots -though I don't believe they are actual boots. Even so, it adds a little whimsy in this entryway.

As a young teen, I also used painted, paper umbrellas to decorate my bedroom. This brings back memories!

A collection of black umbrellas fits right in with the black and white color scheme.

Of course umbrellas make great decorations for bridal showers.

Do you remember these umbrellas? They were all the rage when I was in elementary school!

I'm actually inspired by this photo. I have two galvanized tubs that I use for drinks on the deck- I think I will spruce them up a bit.
I don't know what the event is but I bet that artists are involved.
Pretty artsy don't you think? I love it!
Now, I want to show you some more amazing photos of open umbrellas used outdoors for decoration.
How gorgeous is this? ...and where do you even find such beautiful umbrellas?!
I love the black and white striped umbrella in the foreground.
Another fun and whimsical display.

The shadows that these umbrellas cast are equally as beautiful and interesting as the actual umbrella display.

The umbrellas sure brighten up this very, umm, can I say ugly space?
Isn't it amazing what color does?

Like a cloud, but not a rain cloud.
Just an enormous, ethereal chandelier seemingly floating in midair!
I'll never look at umbrellas the same way again :)
Wow! The last image is spectacular! I have so many favorite images from this post particularly the striped umbrella against the brick walls, those bubble umbrellas and the yellow umbrellas on the tree!

ReplyDeleteWhat great collections of umbrellas! I have a bizarre umbrella stand which is actually an old elephant's foot which used to belong to a rather eccentric great uncle.
