sibella court

I meant to post these photos earlier this week but we've had guests visiting from Boston and I've been lost in a haze of dinners, drinks, a bit of sight seeing and general catching up.  Anyway this past Tuesday, I went to Sibella Court's sold out workshop and sat in awe as she transformed a blank space into an eclectic, bright and cozy room using not much more than rope, old postcards and some recycled furniture.  She was down to earth, sipped a beer as she walked us through her ideas and had me convinced that I too could decorate with ease using only scraps of paper, bits of twine and hand me down furniture.  The reality is that I probably need a bit of practice to use any of these items without having it look like a garbage dump but anyways I enjoyed the night and met some great ladies. Now I'm off to sort out the junk draw and see what treasures I might uncover...
