Pet Stairs for the Chic Home

4 Step Ivory Slipcovered Pet Stairs @ CCC

Many of us have small, senior, or pets with delicate backs who we don't want jumping on and off of beds or furniture. Pet steps are great for this purpose, but many ramps and stairs are way too ugly for my home. I have found safe, good looking, and affordable pet stairs. I ordered this one in ivory and to me it looks like it could be from somewhere like Serena & Lily. It looks like it is slipcovered in white cotton duck or canvas like many beach house sofas are.

A Lovely New Candle Find

Climbing Rose 3 Wick Candle

 

I was disappointed that Target did not bring back my favorite Red Roses candle this spring as they normally do. But I just discovered this new version, a kissing cousin, that is roses blended with notes of ivy and fern and it is delightful.

The Kentucky Derby

Mark and Graham

I will be hosting a Kentucky Derby Party this Friday, the night before the Derby, with 30 people coming. It is a wine tasting and food pairing with the wines and foods of the Kentucky Derby.

I have a large collection of hats and fascinators. Since the red rose is the official flower of the Kentucky Derby, I will be wearing a red rose and feather fascinator by my favorite hat designer, Peter Bettley, that I bought on a trip to London.

Favorite Chinoiserie Earrings

CCC

I love earrings and you will never see me without earrings on (except at the beach where I have learned my lesson losing them).
