I'm dreaming of a White & Pink Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white & pink Christmas.

just like the ones I used to know... 

grew up with my own little tree in my bedroom. covered with pink ornaments, 

I still have some of them!

A vignette from my mantle, gllitter predominates, pink charm makes me smile with memories.

hope you enjoyed.

Red Roses equals Paris Chic

Red Roses for this lady. My own personal favorite color combination mixes tawny pinks, pinkish tans, claret and burgundy contrasted by rich black tones.

My bedroom best highlights this Victorian influenced color ensemble. Think faded burgundy oriental carpets, dried pink roses edged with tea stain browns, and the soft peach of a cherubim face...

Old roses painted on old fabric and perfectly dried blossoms say natural elegance...

and create a style I call "Paris Flea Market meets Shabby Chic".

another bedroom view, just begging for all these fabulous lampshades.

These eye candy shades are lovelies that I hope to recreate for my decorating clients and my Brayton Cottage shop..

HAPPY INSPIRATION TO YOU TOO!

Relax and Unwind

Hello, thanks for visiting.

Don't you just love the weekends?

a perfect time to relax if you are lucky. Get lost in the novel you have been wanting  to read...

and  surround yourself in comfort.

My plan is to do all of this and listen to some Adele.

Always on my list is to spend some time with my wonderful son,

Hoping your weekend and week allows you to escape!

Santa in his sleigh

Santa is coming to the Brayton Homestead. Some last minute touches in the mudroom. An old carriage seat I picked up this summer along with some suitcases. Can you ever have enough suitcases?

Yes, this is how long I have had my wind up singing Santa

from my dear Dad.
