Pewter shines in home accessories, hardware, furniture and beautifully simple accent pieces

Fresh out of journalism school, I fell into decorating media and immediately discovered a new passion. An Atlanta native, I spent several years as an editor for Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine before making the leap to national publications such as Better Homes and Gardens and Southern Accents.

That crib is wonderful - what a piece of pride. I'd have to find an alternative use for as the babies grew up - Its too good to consign to the attic! That owner is a fortunate person.

Pewter is beautiful and usually quite simple. I am surprised that pewter is the subject, but that the photos are showing not only pewter but silver plate. There is a question to the material of a couple of the photos as true "pewter" because of the qualities of pewter and the piece portrayed.
...Keep to the pewter...the silver plate has its place, but it "tarnishes" a pure pewter setting.

I too love that crib!! - what a shame that it only has about a 2 year life span... agree Paula, it would need to find another purpose after its original use. ;)

Those pewter drawer pulls are magnificent and make the cabinets. I'd LOVE to see an expanded view of that kitchen. Where can I find those pulls?
