[Above, Annie Kelly's tablescape featured in Rooms to Inspire,
We all enjoy reading decorator and design journalist Annie Kelly's book reviews for Introspective, and today she has contributed a feature on fellow Californian Martyn Lawrence-Bullard. If memory serves, Lawrence-Bullard is also Kelly's neighbor and he has apparently influenced her style a bit. This tablescape -- or "tray-scape" -- in the writer's home, Villa Vallombrosa, has that global chic Lawrence-Bullard feel. (But the master of layers, Tony Duquette, was another Kelly mentor.)
I thought it would be fun to take another look. Large trays offer opportunities for all sorts of lavish vignettes -- a way to assemble found objects.



The "Fanner" sweetgrass basket from Mae Hall is nice too.

This is sending me digging through my cabinets and chests right now. I need a bit of a Fall spruce-up.
Good! I was hoping a few readers would have that reaction :)
