I'LL BE OUT IN THE GARDEN

Earth Day is this week
so I thought I should spend some time

outside in the garden being at one with nature,
appreciating all the beauty of the flora and the fauna.
There's something so intoxicating about the sights,
sounds and aroma from an impeccably manicured
garden that just knocks me off my feet...

that I can't even drink my teaor hang up my laundry
As long as it is a beautiful day I can always celebrate

a Birthday or a Wedding
into the wee hours of the night

What a great place to enjoy a pretty or
a new piece of furniture
...or use some of your prettiest china

...or play a game or two

Aren't mazes fun?

I think I'm getting dizzy
Whether you're taking a nap outside,

taking a nature walkspending time with your lionor just hanging around looking pretty

Go Au Naturelle and enjoy all the splendor

Mother Nature has provided.
What do you like to do outdoors????

A SOPHISTICATED TWIST ON SHABBY CHIC

A great mix of patterns, colors and styles

Yummy upholstery and pretty pillows

A room Rachel Ashwell could love

I have this Aubusson rug in my bathroom...Love it, Love it, Love it

Love the Lucite chairs, so French and edgy with the Damask cushions

Beautifully tall windows and great pop of pink!

Don't you wish this was your neighborhood???

White with a splash

Fabric on canvas stretchers propped against the walls
Who needs art? Wait, that is art!

Aren't these gorgeous panels??

Pretty window treatments...so soft and flowing.
The painted white floor is so fresh and crisp

This ceiling's to die for...what intricate detail

Wall panels and grouped art for sophisticated interest in a room

Such pretty pastels mixed with contemporary clean lines

Cabbage rose wall paper with a sophisticated twist...and how about this daybed? It's soooooo pretty.

What a glamorous and sophisticated room. This is such a great way of grouping of photos. Who wouldn't love this wall color. It reminds me of one of my favorite stores...hmm and maybe yours too?

Limestone mantels and herringbone parquet floors...so French

Now that's a Tremeau mirror.... I simply must have one!!!
