this past weekend my mom and i visited the mercer-williams house in downtown Savannah. it's famous because that's where the murder took place in the early 90's, which was documented in the book midnight in the garden of good and evil. the house is absolutely gorgeous, filled with the most wonderful antiques and artwork. i loved all of the old architecture/style books laying around on coffee tables or tucked away in bookcases, the way antique dishes were used as a part of decoration and the Versailles and baroque inspired feel. tons of thick gaudy gold frames around old painted portraits and chintz scattered around. love love love. i was inspired by a small Victorian bust that was sitting on a side table in the study and i am now on the hunt for one or two.
ps- started my new job this morning and fell in love with it. it is such a great atmosphere (although someone stole my bike tire while i was working this morning but i wont focus on that anymore) and my bosses are two of the nicest people i've ever met in my life. i really think this will be a great thing. i even scored some great free vintage home decor items that were left over from the shop's tag sale that took place on Saturday. they match my room perfectly and really make it feel even more like home.
