Today
I saw this photo the other day and it just transported me. To Paris. To a place where there are cafes at every corner. And beauty everywhere you look. Amazing architecture, pretty flowers and park benches, bistros, small boutique hotels, French style… Oh, how I long to go back! But, for now, my place is […]
The week in pictures
Have a GRAND weekend, friends!
Pottery Barn Home Tours
I came across these videos recently that I thought were interesting. They are interviews with homeowners whose homes have been used for Pottery Barn photo shoots for PB’s catalogs and website. If you’re a home-decor junkie like me, you’ll love them too!

Puttering
Recently a friend asked me what I’m going to do when I’m finished decorating my house. Finished decorating??? There is no such thing in my house. Much to my husband’s dismay. I’m constantly changing things, moving furniture around, painting floors, making pillows, getting another hairbrained idea…I think I may have an addiction. I was just […]
Creative Clothing Organization
We live a house that’s about 90 years old, which means that closet space is very, very small or non-existant.
