guest quarters

 

We have guests this weekend, and while I wish the guest room looked like this it might be TOO comfortable - if you know what I mean.  This is so subtle and inviting with the soft layers of grey, linen and white.  

Are you having guests for the holidays?  How do you welcome your guests?

I always try to get the house to a normal level of cleanliness and fluff the pillows.  I typically spray the sheets with lavender water and  put fresh fluffy towels in the guest bath.  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Dark and mysterious

 

Are you ready for Halloween?  I love the dark mysterious feeling of this space..  I can just see it full of people lounging and chatting over drinks.

Vintage Guilded mirror..

 

I cannot believe it is Wednesday already!  Another week disappearing right before my eyes...  

The bathroom remodel is well underway and I am getting excited!  Tile comes in at the end of the week and will be installed next week.  I remember when I started all of this I wanted to have a gorgeous gilded mirror like this for over the sinks.  Alas, it will not be that way but I have a few fun things up my sleeve to make it just so.

so blue...

Fall seems like the perfect time to bring on the blues...  the dark warm colors that are so beautiful.

I have a busy start to the week with meetings and installations, looking forward to completing some things though!!!  It is hard when projects stretch on for months and then when they finally come to a close there is a sense of accomplishment.  Sometimes it feels like you are letting go of a friend you have been spending a lot of time with.

What do you have in store for the week?

Style in the entry

 

Another week is upon us and I am not sure I feel like I am accomplishing much around here.

I am complete in awe of the this beautiful entryway and the mirror, it is so very lovely and unique, the things that make a house a home.  

There is a lot going on around here and I am wondering something.. as I start to do some long awaited work on our home, if you are interested in seeing the changes taking place?  I have not really explored that here on the blog as it has been a lot of inspiration and work ideas.  I am just curious if you, my lovely reader, are interested in this type of addition. 

Also, this week look for a little giveaway here and some other fun things!

Wishing you a lovely Monday to start off the week.

Grey in the entryway...

 

How yummy is all of that moulding and the bike is very sweet too!!

Sometimes I wish that I lived in a big city so that I could ride my bike around and then store it in my beautifully detailed entryway.. but then I come back to reality and I live here...

Seeing that mirror makes my heart skip a beat.  This space has so much drama and I love it!  

I hope you are looking forward to a nice long weekend to finish up the summer!

Restful retreat

 

I think that it is always great to put a little chest at your bedside if you have the space.  I like to read in bed and keep my books and stationary in mine.  This bedroom looks so restful, I really could use that right now a little R and R.  It has been a crazy week!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Versailles in detail...

 

These are just a few of the images from our visit to Versailles.  It was amazing the amount of detail

that went into each room.  The doors were my all time favorite and the hardware was beautiful!

If you are traveling to Paris I highly recommend a visit to Versailles.  I may even go back again and skip the main house first thing to avoid the crowds and head straight for the smaller buildings and the garden.  

It took us all day to explore the area and we were exhausted afterwards, but it was totally worth it..

Lounging...

 

I wish this is where I was spending my day!  

But alas it is Monday and I will be 

taking care of business today...

What does Monday hold for you?

Do you find that some Mondays you are ready to go?

Running from task to task trying to get as much done as possible as though the rest of the week is not really going to amount to much?

Bits of gold...

 

 

When you add that little bit of something it starts to really come alive.

Don't you think?

Happy March....

It has been a busy couple of weeks around here and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!

I have some great new things in the works that I cannot wait to share with all of you.

I am seeming to find a great stream of inspiration!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday!
