Thank you to everyone for all of your suggestions regarding my accidental deleting of my iPhoto library. Much to my relief, I was able to retrieve most of my pictures, however this was a wonderful lesson. I am backing up to Carbonite online as we speak. I let you know how that goes.

Whether we are shopping at our favorite flea markets, traveling with our children or on a buying trip, Steve and I are always searching for inspiration for our shop, Giannetti Home. I thought you might enjoy seeing what is inspiring us now...
The pale apricot, citrus green, aqua blue, and amethyst of these sculptures from the sea have inspired the color accents to our neutral color scheme.
The same colors appear in our Fortuny pillows...
Our love for the warm tones of aged wood can be seen throughout the store...
in the wood display cabinets...
the old doors we use everywhere...
in a collection of well worn spoons...
and in a wonderful wall of antique breadboards.
Our chalky palette is inspired by...
The plaster pieces from Giannetti Studio...
the depth of the glaze in an Asian vessel...
and the creamy linen that covers our furniture.
Our appreciation for gilt wood, that's a little less than perfect, adds a sense of history here...
We can't get enough of aged rich brown leather...
It brings the memories of losing yourself in a novel by a crackling fire in a warm wood paneled library...
The character of a Ethiopian beaded basket next to one of our Courtney sofas...
can be appreciated in every bead.
To view more of the items that are inspiring us, please visit our Giannetti Home 1st Dibs and Giannetti Home Dering Hall Store Fronts.
What is inspiring you?
