Happy Thanksgiving week...


I hope everyone is getting ready for a relaxing week of over indulgence in comfort food.  I know I am we are one turkey dinner down with 2 more to go!  I had every intention of posting some pictures of the almost complete bathroom today but hosting dinner and house guests took most of the extra time this weekend.  So maybe tomorrow.  I am excited at the progress and more excited to be close to finishing something!
Wishing you a lovely Monday!

Dark grey and white



The contrast here is so perfect!  I have been leaning towards softer greys as of late and this just brings me back to the dark with a lot of contrast.  The details in the mantel and the door paneling are so perfect.  Sometimes I wish I lived in a home with such history and detail.  But it is not meant to be right now.

Someday maybe.

I am looking forward to the weekend it is supposed to rain a bit here so another few days of relaxation I hope.  I am starting to read Gone with the Wind for the first time and I am hoping it will entertain me for the weekend.  Have you read it?  What did you think?  I know it is a classic and I had to pick it up when I saw it the other day.

Next week I have a lot coming up here on the blog, another giveaway and some great pics to post!

Have a wonderful day!  It is 11/11/11 so cool!!!!

Wood Texture..


I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!  I am not sure that we could ever use all of that wood even over several years!  But I like the cozy idea of it and oh how wonderful are those floors.

Pool house cozy...


This looks like the perfect place to spend the weekend.
I think I need one for sure, a little fire, a little pool, a little time to spend with friends and family.

Wishing you a magical weekend!

simple and clean...



I think this space is fantastic.  The windows and the light are the focal point and it is just so clean and simple.  A great place to get away from it all.

Accented in black



The dark accents in this space make it just right I think... and I love the way the photos are taken from one room looking into another.

I hope you are having a great long weekend!!

Bits of gold...





When you add that little bit of something it starts to really come alive.
Don't you think?

Happy March....

Warming up...


Trying to warm up to the day here...  Sunny but chilly.

Love the art piece over this hearth!

Cooling down..


As the weather finally cools here in California and it starts to feel like fall I am in need of a good fire and cozy throw to snuggle up with..

Warm browns for fall..




Because the sofa and the wood were not enough they had to try and kill me off with the trunk... oh how I adore it..
