Enchanted guest #12...say hi to Sherry of No Minimalist Here!

Good morning, the great guests post just keep on coming! Today I have Sherry from No Minimalist Here  and I so enjoyed the post she put together on incorporating some of her favorite decorating elements into ones home, many of which are my favorites too! Thanks to Sherry's discerning eye, I bet you too might get some fabulous ideas, Sherry is an antiques dealer and let me tell you she knows her stuff.

Sherry often shares her wonderful projects on her blog and is really generous about sharing her sources, many I have taken note of. In addition, her "open house" parties are a huge hit in blogland and its a lot of bang for your buck because you get to see many different things all on one page. Do visit No Minimalist Here if you are not already familiar, its a wonderful blog always full of something beautiful and inspirational. Thanks Sherry, for filling in while I am knee deep in the laborious act of moving!

Before I let Sherry take the floor...I just had to share a few "credentials" with you on Sherry's talent, think the pictures speak for themselves!! (these are all from Sherry's beautiful and charming home)
















Hi everyone.
My name is Sherry and I write the blog No Minimalist Here. I am honored that Tina invited me to guest post here today as she gets ready to move into her amazing new home.

Our home has been on the market for a lot longer than we ever anticipated. This hasn't kept me from dreaming, and planning our future Florida home. Pinterest has been a great resource for me and I thought I woudl show you some of the decorating ideas I like and have saved.

It's no secret that I love transferware,and anything blue and white, so of course I am considering this color scheme for the new house.

I also want to add the Intaglios I make for sale on Etsy


These are some examples I like.

I also want to add a few coastal touches...it is Florida after all!





This is the inspiration board I put together for the living room. We
already have the French armoire, mirror, clam shell and sea grass
rug.
Of course, I'll be adding some blue and white transferware
to this room .
Are you as addicted to Pinterest as I am?

xo,


Love it Sherry! What a beautiful collection of elegant goodies as inspiration for your living room. I recently started using Pinterest myself and can clearly see how it could easily become an addiction! Its a lot of fun and an amazing resource for well......just about anything! Be sure to stop by and visit Sherry over at No Minimalist here when you have a minute. Do any of these elements appeal to you or have you used them in your own home?

Thank you for stopping in...hope to be back within a few days with an update!

    YES! I am as addicted to Pinterest as you are. I could not believe the other day when I logged in and saw that I had pinned like 5500 images! Great guest post...I'm glad Tina chose you! I adore your Intaglios, if i haven't told you already. My real estate friend tells me that all houses sell, it's just a matter of when, so keep your dreams alive Sherry!

    I went to a tag sale about 3 years ago of a collector, and she was selling the biggest amount of transferware I have ever seen, lucky for me , not for her, it was snowing so it kept a lot of people away and I got over 100 pieces for 450.00 dollars!
    I have since displayed them all over my house and it looks like a transferware museum so yes you could say I love it, its a wonderful accent to decorate with.
    Great post and love all of your ideas.

    I have followed Sherry since I started blogging and I always find inspiration there. PLUS she is an all-around NICE person who shares her sources so willingly (as you said).

    Sherry- WHERE are you moving in FL? (Being as I am probably heading that way in the not too distant future) xo Diana

    Love your inspiration board, and the things you have already for your new home! You can get a ready made collection of transferware from blogger nancy at the daily dish~I bought a lot of my plates from her, and now she will assemble collections based on your price point, so it is wonderful! I really love that mirror you have!

    Hi Tina and Sherry,

    Nice home! Inspirational post. I will have to visit your Etsy store (you make those Intaglios?! Nice!).(I used to import Swedish antiques and I always try to incorporate a little bit of "old feel" in my rooms. It makes them more personal).

    I am hopping to Sweden tomorrow and I am so glad I get to blow dry my hair before I go! Ha! What an ugly storm we had. Power out at our house (came back today) and driving was deadly. Camped out around the fireplace with sleeping bags. The kids loved it!

    Happy weekend to you both.

    Mon

    P.S Tina, let me know if I can get you anything from Stockholm. Hugs!

    I adore all of Sherry's inspiration. I've been following her on Pinterest for a pretty good while and am always enamored of everything that she pins! Her current home is always inspiring to me. I'm sure her someday home in Florida will be beautiful too!

    Hi Tina & Sherry!
    I love bue and white transferware, and yes! I too LOVE Pinterest. I'm new to it, but it frequently keeps me up 'til 2 am looking through all the inspiration and pinning away!

    Tina, I hope the move is going well. Don't work too hard! :D

    Hi Tina and Sherry nice to meet you. We also had tried to sell our house for over a year and then finally the right family came along and it couldn't have been a better and smoother deal. I believe its sometimes a matter of finding the right person. So we moved a little over a year ago and its been a lot of fun setting up a new house, totally different style, this one is more casual and a little beachier, lots of blue and white, (our old house was more formal) I love all the beautiful ideas you posted here, many things I love too. Good luck with you sell and may your new Florida house become a reality very soon. Hope you both are having a great weekend.
