ancient rome, greek, and antiques

June gloom has officially set in, so I decided to stay indoors but not at home. Since the opening of The Getty Villa in Malibu, my visit was long overdue, so I decided to dedicate my day to the museum. 



I loved it at first sight. From the herb garden entrance to the floral sculpted ceilings, I felt like I was at Disneyland for antiques. 




I fell in love with this terracotta floor vase. The black finish made it look shinny metal and modern. 


If I had royal blood, I would totally drink out of this wine cup for kicks- maybe just during Christmas to be festive. 


and serve drinks out of this ladel. 




The colors add to the textures of these detailed ceilings. It would be fun to experiment and try a similar molding in a baby or little girl's room. 




These ancient sea colored glass vases would be adorable for outdoor table setting. The colors are perfect and would be fun to pair together with votives or small flowers. 





How awesome is this?! A room dedicated to dropping your kids off so you can continue peacefully throughout the gallery... :) 


but really, its open for children of all ages and you can draw on any of the vases.

A must visit for all. Plus its FREE admission!
