Live Simply,,,

                            Its good for the soul ....
                                 every once and awhile to re-think how a room works for you.
                              Gone is the busy head board..in its place a simple heart..
                     the scent of fresh pine & an open window...warm and crisp at the same time.This is a room to relax in...to unwind at the end of a busy day...living simply suits the room ..and the room suits me !  Thanks for taking the time to stop by, xoox

Drenched in Light...


                          
                             I have never craved a big, fancy house...
                            Nor have I ever had one....
                I am very happy in my little "shoe box" condo...
                 With the big harvest table gone now and a small one in its place...the whole apartment feels much brighter and lighter...as though someone as taken a soft cloth and wiped the windows..
                              and told the sun it was ok to drench the rooms...
                            Hope everyone is well and happy...xoxo

Before the Church Bells ring....

                             There is a different kind of quiet on a Sunday morning...
                          no sounds of traffic...people rushing to get to work on time.
                                  just the birds singing ...the sun is shining and soon the sound of church bells will fill the air..
                and I will bask in the once a week sounds that only Sundays bring...xo

Summer Kitchen...

                                    Salads....fresh fruit...cheese trays....
                             iced tea...good friends...great conversations and late nights..
                                 Summer kitchens just have a feel of their own...
                             light, bright and airy....windows open wide and curtains blowing.
                            Enjoy every moment as it is gone in a flash....
                           the summer kitchen....how sweet it is!  xoox

French Farmhouse in the City...

                         Change is good...be it big or small...its always nice to change something up!
                  So...down came the tea towels(they were there far too long).
                                   Now this awkward little corner of my kitchen has a fresh new look...ironstone,tin and what the heck even a cow(who doesn't love cows?)
                                  some fresh rosemary twigs and my vignette is complete! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...till next time, happy decorating! xoox

Three VIntage Finds...

                              I cant tell you how long I have wanted a vintage rosary...not just any one
                        but an over size one...so you can imagine how happy I was to find this ....
                            I also found a very nice wire basket that "was not for sale"....I really wanted it and well....that's what long lashes are for ladies...a girl has to do what a girl has to do!!!
                               Last but far from least..i found this lovely oval mirror....brightens up the whole room...hope you have found a treasure or two...gotta love flea market season! xoox

Industrial Pretty...

                          Is there such a thing?  Can we mix industrial and pretty?
                      Well I suppose if you have a love of both looks..why not!?
                         After all there are no RULES in home décor..do what you love....right?
                             As much as I love PRETTY (and what girl doesn't) I also love the dark, well worn look of INDUSTRIAL style to..so for now my rarely used dining room has taken on a bit of each style...what the heck..its fun to change things up once and a while! Hope everyone is well and happy...thanks for coming by! xo
