You may remember in my postcard from L.A., a highlight of my trip was discovering the diva behind the corals and other floatsom – she calls them “her naturals” – that graced the boutique hotels in the area.  That would be Shannon Colburn, resort hotel (and beach house) stylist extraordinaire.  Well, now she has a website – the better to visit with you.  And aren’t we lucky…..

These are some artworks I saw while I was there.  The dazzling colors are even more dazzling in person.  Her artists can customize size, shape, and colors for a very reasonable cost…..

Cool containers…..Really love the ideas you get from these settings – pears and twigs…..

The tops of these side tables are pieces of stone, fitted together to create a tortoiseshell effect…..

Simple, classic all-glass hurricane lamps.  Love the use of stones, twigs and the whimsy of the small, narrow candles on the left…..

More containers that subtly resemble sea flowers…..

But a visit to Shannon Colburn’s showroom is not complete without sampling her “naturals”…..

…..such as these coral balls above…..or this stunning blue coral below…..

What can we do with this one?  The possibilities are endless…..:)
