New bedroom furniture arrangement!

A new furniture arrangement for my bedroom! For years I have angled my bed in the left corner, thought it gave a more open look and it was sound Feng Sui . I  moved this around for a change and find it more open . When I photographed the room there was a good amount of sunlight streaming which is often not my thing; but it was nice. Not a vampiress but not a sun lover either!

Krumpet's little bed lays near the canopy bed, although he does share both. My big old trunk holds so much clothing, do I dare admit 15 pairs of jeans?

It took getting used to the new look, but now I love it and is more authentic to the 1796 homestead than the later design. 

Do you like it?

Newport Mansion

Take a twirl with me around this grand Newport mansion, The Elms. Marble glistens, cherubs delight, a party will be here soon...

I am so fortunate to leave within an hour of the glorious Newport Mansions. Everywhere you look is a treat for the eye.

Soaring high ceilings punctuated with luscious tasseled valances with flowing damask draperies make my heart flutter...

Beautiful brass sconces hold unusual half shades creating a perfect glow to the marble sculptures. Doesn't it feel as if a party is about to start? Well you would be right. The new Barn Chick Party will be guest hosted for me at Idyllhours this Friday...

Please accompany me to the party,enchantment will ensue...

oh, I wish I had my Magnolia Pearl bloomers to wear to the

BARN CHICK PARTY!

thank you Faded Charm's White Wednesday.

summer

The palest of blush pink walls create a feel of a summer retreat . Sisal carpet underfoot provokes images of a sandy beach while white trim work and a large pale coffee table balance the chocolate brown accents, so sweet. enjoy...

charming fabrics

Pale pink fabric with contrasting black silhouettes of man's best friend, how sweet? This designer fabric would be perfect made into a pillow, curtain, bag and a dog bed, of course...

And perfect for the season, deer silhouette fabric made into a snuggly yet fashionable sleeping bag...

*if interested, I can order any designer fabrics available to Interior Designers only

Workspace Wednesday IV

Isn't this workspace tucked into a little nook delightful? Equipped with laptop and printer, file cabinet and shelving, it has all you could desire. All rooms need a chandelier, don't you think? A charming slip covered chair, a voluminous curtain, a sweet lamp and personal mementos create a lovely setting that I could work at all day! enjoy...

A Study in Blue

You have been daydreaming of a long bath all day. Beautiful white peonies and a plush white towel await you. Wall sconces are dimmed and reflected in the gorgeous over sized mirror, time to unwind...

As you journey to your sitting room you can't help to look up to admire the glass chandelier that reminds you of a big blue iced cupcake...

You have arrived ~ so relax, smell the flowers and enjoy a good book.
*Check the fab blog Paris Hotel Boutique to see the chandelier & more.

Lovely Weekend

A relaxing weekend is what I wish for everyone! Rest on a French day bed, your book illuminated by a vintage chandelier and sink into the large down pillow. I could spend the entire day here , most of it daydreaming....

Happy Mother's Day!
