Beachcombers

 As a designer, I spend a great deal of time visiting other people's homes. I see many tastes, preferences and styles, color choices both good and (in my opinion) not so good and all sorts of interesting collections. Today I visited the home of a lovely beach-loving  family and was really intrigued with what they collect: sand.  Nicely displayed, these tremendously varied vials of  silica gave me a big smile and some on the spot color inspiration for their vast and gorgeous new home. 

While on the sand subject, check out these close-up photos of sand grains from Dr. Gary Greenberg via   Lost at E Minor..  Almost like a tiny lost world.

 Happy Thursday!
