The Last Official Weekend of Summer!

Wow, time really doesn't wait for anyone!  Can you believe we're already on the front porch of Fall!  Do you have a special way of bringing the season to a close?  Around my house we usually do some type of home improvement project, but not this year.  We are going to spend the weekend doing a lot of nothing!  The first bit of nothing on the list is to pay a visit to Serenbe, a lovely little community in Chattahoochee...

Elements of Loveliness

Hello my Friends!  I hope you guys have had a incredible week and are looking forward to a fantastic weekend!  I'm in a hmm, not melancholy, but maybe a more thoughtful or placid mood.  Yes, placid, that's it!  And so these are the images that spoke more to me than any others I contemplated for this posting!  The silk upholstered French sofa is very feminine. The soft curves of the frame and it's delicate...

Fall 2012, Fashion + One More Tidbit!

Today is a very busy day!  I've got a couple of projects that I have to work on that I've been slow to get going!  Oh, I'm pumped up and ready to go!  It's just that today is very rainy outside as a result of the tropical storm activity that the coast is experiencing.  For those of you who didn't know, yes Georgia sees a lot of rain during hurricane season!  Back to what I was saying...this is my favorite kind...

Little Luxuries

While browsing the September, 2012 catalog of Pottery Barn, I came across the section about bedding so aptly titled "Classic Touches".  The Plaza Bedding and the Grand Bedding are the two that I was most drawn to.  While the bedding is absolutely classic in style, I always think of bedding as my little luxury.  It's the one thing that touches my skin, that should relax and comfort me; and totally...

Sunday Special

There's something about a beautiful Sunday... I can't really place my finger on it, but it has a feel about it like no other day (for me).  There are scattered, puffy, white clouds against an icy blue sky that are moving by at a snails pace; which lets you know the wind isn't high.  Just being outside and gazing up, and enjoying the quietness of it all is at this point for me, indescribable.  Do you have those moments where...

Color Inspiration: Petal Tones

Happy Friday!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  I'm going to do a little cleaning, a little relaxing, and meet up with a couple of design friends for a little catching up!  That will take me through to Monday morning, for sure! I subscribe to a blog site named Design Seeds, and receive daily emails of color palette inspirations that I file away for projects.  I love it because there are always color combinations...

A Place of Significance

Every room should have one!  A place of significance.  A space where you carve out a little place for elements that are a cause for pause, if you will.  A composition of things that are collected and selected for the observer to take a moment to appreciate, wonder, or even snicker a bit!  Yeah, that's it!  A place to have a "moment". How simple and utterly striking is this!  Just using...
