<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I was born in Clarksdale and lived in the neighboring Quitman County through Elementary School. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">My Mother, my Daddy, and my Grandmother Nanny were always taking us to Clarksdale for something or another, and it usually involved shopping of some sort. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It might have been Powers for dresses, Woolworth's for sundries (and of course the candy counter), the Gift and Art Shop for decorative items (yes, I loved decor at age three), and as we got just a little older Charlie Connerly's for shoes. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But one place we nearly always visited on every trip was Al's bakery on Delta Avenue. My sister Susan and I would get big iced and decorated gingerbread men. And we often argued about what hurt the gingerbread man least to eat first, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">the head or the arms and legs. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">On birthdays, it was always a white cake with white icing and icing roses in the current favorite color, except the year Susan had the circus cake, but that is another story for another day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>Note To My Dear Readers :</b> <span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year!</span> This post was to have originally been posted on or around my birthday on November 2nd, shortly after Halloween and The Day of the Dead on November 1st. I hope this post does not seem a macabre way to start a new year. I confess, as you will see, I love cemeteries. I find peace there, along with art, beauty, and a connection to some of those I love dearly and no longer have. One of my New Year's resolutions is to make an even more valiant effort to post more regularly. I cannot tell you how many posts I have planned and written in my head. Hopefully more will be making their way to the blog in 2014. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do creating them. XOXOXOX MS</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">From a cemetery somewhere . . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I leave you with the always poetic and here hauntingly and decidedly eerily Halloween words of my dear and beautiful friend George Cruz:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">"She was a gypsy fortune teller, red cape and all. She loved to walk through the old cemetery every evening. She felt it kept her in touch with the other side. But this evening, she had the strange sensation of being followed. When she arrived at her caravan at the edge of the forest, she found a man waiting to have his fortune told. She sat on the forest floor to lay out her cards as the man </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">stood above her, staring blankly at the cards she laid down. She told him of a torrid affair, where passion would bring danger and how he would be in peril of being trapped in a love triangle that would prove too treacherous to live out. The fortune teller looked up and stared deeply into the man's eyes and got a feeling so eerie, her hands froze. She told him it may lead to the death of him. The man looked at her in the most intense way and told her so softly, "You are too late. It has already come to pass. I died but two days ago." The Fortune Teller quickly stood up in fear from the forest floor, as the man vanished before her eyes."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But Dustin doesn't just love taking it easy on a porch or talking about porches, he is down right passionate about porches and the old and historic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> homes he renovates. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Dustin started restoring old homes while he was in his twenties as a hobby and a pastime while he was in graduate school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He soon realized that this hobby was actually his passion, his bliss, his raison d'etre, and five years ago he started his company</span><br />

It may sound strange, but each piece or home speaks to me and guides me as to what they would like to become or look like," Dustin shared with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He doesn't look at an older home, or for that matter an antique car or piece of furniture, or an accessory, which he also lovingly restores, and see damage, or scars, or dents, or nicks, he sees the beauty in vintage American craftsmanship, the quality of materials that cannot be duplicated today, and the story of a life well lived. He sees the promise of restoration, the opportunity of giving the home or object a new lease on life, starting again even better than before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Dustin's renovations are meticulous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He studies. He is precise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He signs the backs of all the boards he uses and many times even leaves detailed </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">instructions about his renovations closed away behind a mantle or hidden in a wall, so that perhaps in 100 more years, the next renovator will know the story that Dustin has put together about the house, clues on how to proceed with the next renovation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Dustin's passion for his pursuit cannot be contained, "I love knowing that I've saved something that is already 100 plus years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">After I am long gone, people will know Dustin Van Fleet worked on and saved this historic home. It is a sense of leaving behind a legacy that cannot ever be taken away. This gives me tremendous satisfaction. "</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I had nearly completed this blog post just before my beloved Daddy passed away very unexpectedly last summer.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> and I have had writer's block,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> but I am finally back, and going to go ahead and post this unseasonably.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I hope better late than never, Barbara.</span><br />

He loved him so hard that he loved all his whiskers off, and the pink lining to his ears turned grey, and his brown spots faded. He even began to lose his shape, and he scarcely looked like a rabbit any more, except to the Boy. To him he was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about. He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter. "</span><br />

That's great if you have a large and beautiful kitchen. If you don't, or you don't want lots of people in your kitchen, keep refreshments to a bare minimum in the kitchen, perhaps just a bottle or two of wine and glasses on a pretty tray with cheese straws, a southern cocktail party staple.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">My design resolution is actually an old one, creating a knowledgable mix of furnishings for every client.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3ahJ8GLQjhU/TwUkr6s09fI/AAAAAAAACeA/qyppTj5WFss/s1600/PrivateResidence%252CLakeWehapa%252CAL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3ahJ8GLQjhU/TwUkr6s09fI/AAAAAAAACeA/qyppTj5WFss/s640/PrivateResidence%252CLakeWehapa%252CAL.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A small alcove in a Lakehouse features a walnut commode in the French Louis XV style made by the owner's Grandmother during the first half of the 20th century. Such a nice sentimental piece should always be incorporated into a client's home. I paired the commode with a wonderful French iron Art Deco style mirror. Scrolls along the top with bunches of grapes suggest that this mirror was originally made in the South of France. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-large;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> In this ever changing world of design, clients are influenced by many external factors, including the whims of the trade magazines. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As a serious antique dealer, as well as an Interior Designer, I encourage my clients to trust my knowledge of furniture, periods, and architecture and to let me teach and guide them to the best quality furnishings their budget can afford, without compromising or being a slave to trends, affecting a knowledable and interesting mix.</span><br />
<br />
<div><div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> I would always rather see an empty space than see a misfit just to fill the space. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> This concept of mixing styles of different antiques from different parts of the world, along with a touch of modern, has always been my signature. </span></div><div></div><div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DrOl0ED-QM/TwUffBzTuzI/AAAAAAAACdc/OMy0ORiF92U/s1600/PrivateResidence%252CMountainBrook%252CAL-LivingRoom1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DrOl0ED-QM/TwUffBzTuzI/AAAAAAAACdc/OMy0ORiF92U/s640/PrivateResidence%252CMountainBrook%252CAL-LivingRoom1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I designed this Living Room for a client in 2005, and it is a wonderful representation of effectively mixing styles. A French Louis XIV period black lacquer bibliotheque, filled with the client's own ivory collection from Asia, mixed with 17 th century French Faience ( less formal ), an 18 th century Italian mirror over a new sofa, flanked by a pair of French reproduction bronze and marble gueridon tables, and lighted by a pair of 18 th century Chinese export vases made into lamps, certainly illustrates this mix. The 18 th century Italian Scagalioa marble panel I placed atop the modern Lucite bases and the pair of French Louis XVI period carved and gilt wood fauteuils by Jacob are a surprise for this otherwise very serious room. This client ( age 74 at the time) did not like the bases but she kept them because she knew that they were a distraction and a compliment to the formality of the room. Using these bases enables one to see the continuous pattern of the antique Tabriz rug.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here I incorporated wonderful architectural elements into a kitchen design. After I found the 18th century oak panels I worked with the architect and the cabinet contractor to organize this kitchen. The fabrication of the limestone surround was executed in France through one of my sources where I also acquired the 17th Century iron fire back as a decoration against the plaster back splash made to look like stone. The new counter stools from Rose Tarlow, with the 19th Century Dutch brass chandelier and the impressive granite counter top, give the room substance and warmth. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All shades of orange seem to be the "hot colors" these days, however I make it my practice to avoid trends when deciding a color palette. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-irrfxo-LHS8/TwUnAztZITI/AAAAAAAACeM/gn4xeisfHeM/s1600/orange+palette.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" rea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-irrfxo-LHS8/TwUnAztZITI/AAAAAAAACeM/gn4xeisfHeM/s400/orange+palette.bmp" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I prefer to let other factors guide me such as the use of a room, an object, fabric, a rug, a painting, and even what is seen outside through the windows.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-large;">This Christmas, my mantle spoke of this inspiration with half a dozen golden vintage peacocks.
