A peak in the window provides a glimpse of the glorious cafe' and chocolate shop. Could you have resisted? The food, the aromas and the decor did not disappoint. Enjoy the view from my gold gilded chocolate brown leather chair...

I am crazy for Faux Bois! This lovely coat/ hat rack presents faux bois in metal. Imitated wood grain of the tree as the birds resting spot is perfect for spring.
Wood Grain on a plaster tree log is a playful twist on nature. This is the work by the awesome artists, somethings hiding in here on Etsy! You must check out there great shop, so original and playful. Two or three of these logs placed in a contemporary fireplace would look sensational.
Happy Monday! I trust everyone had a great weekend! Mine was jam backed and wonderful. Listened to live music with friend Giselle (I'm on left with scarf), gabbed with Mom for hours, hung out at the coffee shop, walked Krumpet and accomplished some client work. Also, displayed a few more vintage treasures on a high shelf in the pantry- but kept it simple! 
Only one week to Easter, thought I would finally display a few of my vintage decorations. Always nice to be surrounded by nostalgic holiday keepsakes. This year I am going to keep it simple~ or at least that is how it will start out. Besides, if it is new to a room, Krumpet decides it must be a new toy for him! Decorated, natural or vintage eggs in a wooden bowl are a lovely way to decorate… 
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!!
Closing my eyes and remembering taking this picture of the lovely carousel in Paris! It was so enchanting, oh wait,
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!
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.......................
