Something Special

No better way to start off a Monday than by highlighting some of my most favorite things....over the top, glamorous, decadent, excessive and oh so beautiful...

Stay tuned for a giveaway later with our good friend Christina over at Greige!  Perfect little lovelies to compliment your holiday little black dress!

p.s...

I actually have those Valentino shoes with the bow in a nude color.. I've worn them twice, but I think I love them just as much sitting on my closet shelf like a little piece of art!!

Collecting

I love how each of these collections probably started with 1 item...something that spoke to the owner, stirred a memory or was the basis for a new idea. What do you collect?  I'd love to hear!

I don't know about you, but things around here are frantic...the hours turn to days and the days to weeks so fast that I can hardly keep up!  I try everyday for a few minutes to just sit and be grateful for all I have...this would be the perfect spot!

When Witches Go Riding....

and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween....

 

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN....live well!

Color Obsession....RED

I do not have any red in my home, but I have to admit I love the dark, mysterious mood it sets when paired with grey and black....

Have a fantastic Thursday!  live well....

Office Redo

I'm ready for a serious office redo....several years ago I realized that since I work out at a local gym, I did not need an exercise room in my home too (I DO NOT exercise that much!) so I decided to sell the exercise equipment and change that room into a craft room for my children.  That way all their ribbons, beads, glue sticks could have a home and they could have a place to be creative.

Fast forward to now...I have taken over the craft room and its still somewhere between kiddo creative and adult workspace.

Over the next few weeks, I plan on pulling everything out and turning it into a way cool workspace that I will actually enjoy using!  Its full of beautiful sunlight and even has a small sitting room that would be a fantastic place for coffee in the morning!

I love the vintage/industrial feel of the office above, I think I might use it for inspiration!

I would love to hear what your home office/workspace looks like...

Have a great day!   live well...

Conservatory Kitchen

I have featured so many beautiful kitchens, but this might very well be my favorite....its warm, inviting, practical and the details are amazing.

The conservatory style celing is stunning!

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday...live well!

Soft Place to Land

After 3 long nights in the Cherokee National Forest, in a tent....I could not wait to get home to my bed.  We had a wonderful time and saw some of the most beautiful scenery.  The weather was perfect and I most definitely got my nature fix. 

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend...live well!
