Even I, an Interior Designer, ponder on decorating decisions. Began putting together ideas for my master bathroom renovation. Even in a small bathroom every selection counts! I want this beautiful ceramic hand painted Slavko " Old French style sink" .http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9330610. So perfect to adjoin my bedroom, featured earlier “Paris Flea Market Bedroom”. Do you agree?
Check out this kaleidoscope of wonderful work on etsy. 
So nostalgic today- had to share a picture of my two older sisters. Better sisters could not be imagined. Dressed in their Easter outfits, is this not precious!!
I am hoping you are enjoying my blog, maybe a decorating tip, viewing an artists' work or just looking. Forgive a somber moment, I wanted to share that today is the anniversary of my dad's passing 39 years ago. I write this as it was yesterday. What a wonderful and loving dad, highly respected police Detective and loved gentleman. Sadly missed. thanks..
Closing my eyes and remembering taking this picture of the lovely carousel in Paris! It was so enchanting, oh wait,
Happy Tuesday!
Do I love how this room feels like Easter to me, the colors of blue, yellow and pink. Makes me think of a big basket of Easter candy~ oh yum, pink peeps and malted milk eggs. Swooning over the walls, what a great way to recycle vintage wood and go green!
HUMPTY DUMPTY sat on a wall
Warm browns and rich leather create old world charm. This is the living room I designed for a lovely family, a young couple and their three children. The color palette and textures combine to achieve a sophisticated yet comfortable space. My signature ~ Comfortable Tradtional. Isn't it welcoming?
HAPPY HAPPY SPRING!!
A fresh spring look can be obtained by paring down your rooms. OK, this pic may be extreme, but isn't it inviting? An old rule is to go around your house and remove three things, you will see and feel the difference. Recognize earlier tip of adding greenery? A gorgeous chaise lounge never hurts either!
Happy St. Pat's Day to all!
Happy Monday!
Lighten up! A major change you can make to any room to give it a fresh springtime look is to make a change on your floor! You might not have consider this surface when you are decorating, but switching your heavier oriental or braided rugs to a natural fiber carpet with less color and pattern will make a difference. Affordable sisal or jute carpets can easily be found at local retailers or ordered from catalogs such as Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel.
I am not suggesting that you rip up your wall to wall but you can layer a small sisal carpet over your existing carpet and under a coffee table~ otherwise it will creep around. I sometimes take away my carpet and leave the floor bare, although this look is not for everyone.
7 days until spring!!
Waiting patiently for all the flowers to spring up in my garden. Here's a pic of my little secret garden tucked in the bend of my stone wall as it was last year just starting.......................
My Kewpie necklace was selected for a treasury! Can you believe cottagestylelevendors made this charming treasury full of kewpies and charlottes and cherubs, oh my!!! Could it be any sweeter?
Putting away my Valentine décor is a bittersweet experience. I had just made the heart sachets and enjoyed seeing them around the house Easter is next!
