How beautiful are these peony arrangements and how fabulous would one of these photographs be blown up and displayed on a wall?  You could have peonies year round!

Happy weekend!

Classic and Contemporary

Classic white kitchens don’t always have to be traditional in style…these ones feel like a breath of fresh air when it comes to Kitchen design!

Restful bedrooms

In theory I think a bedroom should be the prettiest room in a house.  A place of refuge, calm and comfort that takes you away from the hurried stress of the day.  A place of rest for your mind and beauty for your eyes.  Hoping these pictures will inspire you to de-clutter your bedroom just as I am hoping to- I notice none of these spaces have the “charming” piles of laundry and ironing and other things that I let clutter my own bedroom!

Friday Flowers: Heather Purple

Not normally a purple person, I have seen some of the prettiest shades of lilac and heather purple lately… seems very fresh and pretty for spring!

Certainly a departure from your ordinary grocery store rose colors!

Who would ever think purple curtains in a dining room could ever be so elegant? I love the muted tone of these by Pamela Pierce.

This pop of color makes the room seem so current!

Friday Flowers: Dried Hydrangea

Hydrangeas come in so many colors and always look gorgeous- freshly cut or dried, summer or winter!  I love the delicate color and texture of all these dried arrangements…

Taupe

From fashion to fabrics to interiors to exteriors, I’m a lover of all shades of taupe.  Sounds pretty boring until you take a look at how pretty this color can be…
