{two lovely things: all that glitters}

. . . always an affinity for glittery things -- sequins in the morning, chandeliers and gilded chairs, and so, easily fell for this pretty tray {a similar one sits on the counter and is filled with bouquets of spring roses}, and most of all, the thought of metallic gold for the powder room -- how could mornings ever be more elegant than sunrise and gold tiles?

{two lovely things: monograms & pink roses}

{two lovely things:} crisp whites and black stripes with always elegant monograms, and pale pink roses just after a rainstorm . . .

{beautiful details: marble & gold}

. . . carerra marble and graceful archways, floods of light and artful chandeliers, elegantly panelled walls and bits of gold -- sometimes all that's needed are a few beautiful details . . .

{morning light + smokey violet}

good monday morning! must confess that it still feels like the weekend as sun-drenched memories still linger and things are moving along at a perfectly leisurely pace . . .

beautiful things and exciting news for this week and the next, but for now, hope your week is off is to a wonderful start,
xo

{floods of sunlight on winter afternoons}

. . . one of the best things about mornings is throwing open the curtains to the light of a new day, and on thoughtful winter afternoons: floods of dappled sunlight on warm white walls, glittering reflections in brightly polished mirrors and, best of all, resplendent bouquets of pink and perfect blossoms . . .

{p.s.} also adore the layered mirrors + more glimpses of pink: 1 & 2
