Monday bedroom bliss

ugh. Monday. For some reason today I especially feel hit by a truck - blaming it on the move, lack of a decent computer chair (any suggestions?), and a mattress much firmer than I'm used too.Gorgeous.  That antique French bed is to die for.via Adore Home via Home Sweet Homeso simple and pretty - I think this is a...

To have a space for dreaming and solitude…

You know how some people get all of their energy from being around other people, and how other people need "alone time" to energize? Well, I'm definitely one of the later. I grew up on an almost 200 acre farm on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, so being alone and outside was a part of my daily...

Flower covered cottages tucked away in green mountains…

Sounds like a fairy tale right? Nope...it's the Jungfrau region in Switzerland, which I was lucky enough to visit this summer during my 9 week backpacking trip around Europe. The weather wasn't ideal for the few days we were in Jungfrau, but it was still gorgeous. See below...A view of the town we stayed in - LauterbrunnenWe...

Interiors that embody today’s “traditional”

Lovely living room potpourri

I am moving tomorrow and have been painting our new place for the last two days and I am EXHAUSTED. Starting fresh in a new place is exciting, but moving as an act is horrible. So, I won't be posting tomorrow, but want to wish everyone a great and hopefully much more relaxing weekend than I'll be having.Two...

Dining room love

I sort of unfairly neglect dining rooms. It's not a conscious decision, but I guess because I've never had an apartment large enough to have it's own dining room, and rarely entertain, that I always sort of just passed them by. In our new apartment we don't have a separate dining room, but there is a "nook"...
