It's All In The Details

Today I'm excited to be guest posting over at RocoRennie, as a part of Rachael's series "It's all in the details".  It's such a fun series, dedicated to what inspires us the most in our homes.

Head over to her blog to see what inspires me, and to get to know her blog if you don't already.  I love her refreshing, creative ideas and images and I think you will too. Thanks so much, Rachael, for including me! 

In the Garten...

No, that isn't a typo.  :)  Earlier this week we went to the Munich's largerst city park, the Englischer Garten (English Garden).  It has several beautiful beer gardens scattered amongst the natural, spacious grounds.  My favorite place is set on a lake within the park, called Seehaus.  Here are a few pretty shots to enjoy. 

By the way, I promise to get back to more design-related posts soon - with visitors this has been more top of mind but I'll be back on track this weekend!

I have been in love with these beautiful trays (among other pretties!) made by Jill Rosenwald for a while now.  I have posted a couple of times about how much I love to use trays in design here and here so of course they totally drew me in.  Her designs are so nice I don't think I would want to cover them with accessories in a tablescape!  However, I would certainly use for a catch all tray for keys, etc. so I could enjoy their beauty every day, or on display on a bookshelf. I love their earthy, yet sophisticated, style...

Which one would you choose, and how would you use it?
