Beautiful space no?

Hi all – sorry I’ve been MIA this week, a lot came up. I thought I’d merge back into the grind with some lovely imagery I’ve found on some of my favorite blogs. In no particular order:
From the breezy, beautiful Beach Bungalow 8
Such a cheerful windowseat!
I like the look of different curtains, mixed and matched
From the always delightful Brabourne Farms
All of these kitchens are stunning, from the awesome, multilingual ChicoDeco
I thought today I’d just grace you all with some living room beauty. Enough said?

I was so excited to receive a Jo Malone “Vanilla & Anise” candle last week, which is part of a new fragrance line including cologne, bath oil, body creme, and a home candle. When I first opened the candle, the scent was a little strong, but I soon realized it was only because it was just opened. Now the candle is perfect for freshening up the room, and I’ve found it especially great for cleaning up bad odors. Example? This weekend a friend was working on his car in the garage and the engine flooded – EVERYTHING smelled like gasoline, even my freshly washed clothes. I kid you not though – the candle really helped alleviate the overpowering smell of gasoline.
The Vanilla & Anise scent is surprisingly complex, but I’d summarize it as a “woodsy sweet” scent. The release reads “the fragrance inspired by the floral landscape of Madagascar, capturing the fleeting moment that the rare vanilla orchid blossoms….blends notes of bergamot, neroli and star anise to create a touch of spice sparkling above transparent layers of delicate vanilla orchid and frangipani. The warmth of vetiver, white amber, and the subtlest hint of clove complete this unexpected, modern story of vanilla.”
Now these are a lot of elements I’ve never heard of, but I can definitely notice different “layer” of scent based on how far or close I am to the candle. It really is lovely.
An added bonus? The packaging is gorgeous! It comes to you in a lovely box way too nice to toss bound in a smart black ribbon. The Vanilla & Anise collection is available this month at Jo Malone shops, jomalone.com, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

I saw this and I didn’t hesitate to grab my favorite photos and post. The description sums it up – “With a clear sense of style and true respect for the architecture, Winnie Mølsgaard and her husband Eigil have decorated Turebyholm Castle – a small rococo castle from 1754. The home is a refreshing blend of art deco and modern Italian furniture design, alongside antique pieces, hand printed silk wallpapers and original chandeliers. However, it is the serenity and the stunning landscape that Winnie Mølsgaard mentions, when we ask her to describe life in these enviable historic settings.”
This paper is just gorgeous
so pretty…

These photos speak for themselves. You’ll notice a common theme of window, which for me speak of introspection, and waiting..waiting…waiting. The empty rooms also speak of being left behind or a time and place forgotten, or neglected. Atleast for me. Do these photos have a meaning for you?
