New Project

I think I've mentioned before that I have 3 daughters....The one in the middle is 12 and is in dire need of a room makeover.  I've been putting off this project for some time just because she's in that transitional stage and I really only want to do this one more time!  I showed her this photo, and she loved it.  She's an old soul, and I think this room would be perfect for her with a little tweaking.

What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

Comfortable Elegance

Love the vintage mix in this home that was recently featured in Home and Leisure Magazine.  Every space seems comfortable, inviting and perfectly simple.

Happy Wednesday....live well!

Dining in Style

The ceiling beams are fantastic!  I'd love to have a chocolate croissant and coffee at this table.

Hope your day is off to a great start!  live well.....

Hope you have some time to relax this weekend!

Pretty!

Such a pretty picture...love the double chandeliers!  That hutch is pretty spectacular too!

Have a great Thursday!  live well!!



Warm and Cozy

Its really cold here, so I decided to forgo my plan of running errands and instead stay home tidying up from the holidays...All of my fireplaces are lit, the kids are at school and I'm enjoying the morning. 

These spaces are all so warm and inviting...

Hope you are having a beautiful day!

Live well!

Looking Ahead

Happy New Year to all my blogging friends....After a much needed break from all things work including my computer, iPad and my office and studio in general, I can say that I still am feeling a little blue.  I love the holidays and all that comes with it.  I miss the festive note in the air, all the sparkles everywhere you look and the gathering of family and friends.

As I was thinking about this post, I thought of what I might like to happen in the coming year....here's what I came up with....

1.  Getting Organized...  I could be so much more productive!

2.  Spend some time on myself...and not feel guilty about it

3.  More patience...although I feel this might be impossible

4.  Getting home projects started...and finished!

5. Travel more...I'm planning a little surprise girls trip for my daughters to NYC for Spring Break!  

I can't wait!

6.  Give thanks...I can honestly say there isn't anything I want or need that I don't already have.   

Hope your 2012 is filled with lots of fun, peace and joyful thanks for all your blessings!

Live well!
