Ok, y’all I’m going to put my best face forward and do what I do best; talk about design and stuff . Let’s cheer up and have some fun, shall we? I am blessed to have each of you as a reader and friend and I appreciate all of your support from...

A Cottage in Arkansas.
I. LOVE. THIS. COTTAGE. Even more so because the exterior colour(s) remind me a lot of my own home. A loft above the kitchen. How cool! A platform bed with lots of storage beneath. Yes please! Hens Mary Jean and Virginia seem right at home in the back. Does...
Take off your shoes…
For some reason the thought of wearing shoes in this magical space makes me cringe. Aptly called the Royal Penthouse and located in Newcastle Australia, this oh so beautiful penthouse doesn’t only have me oohing and aahing, but also obsessing how I...
Modern in Texas.
I’ve always loved the cactus plant and this home showcases several of them in its zen-like landscape. It’s no surprise that the homeowners opted for this type of landscape since their location is Houston where I’m sure it’s sizzling. These are hardy plants that can...
A “Cooling” Effect.
It doesn’t surprise that it’s been scorching hot already and we’re barely into Summer. I mean, most of us had very mild Winters and we were wondering where Spring was as it felt like Summer during those months. This home is welcoming and seems like the perfect place...
Small space. Big style.
Small on space. Big on style. Every inch on this small space is utilized efficiently. Enjoy… do you remember when I did something similar in my last home? see it here. Guess what?. Tomorrow is the last day for the students, which means Summer break, and then...
Determination always Pays off…
I’ve often thought of what it would be like to live in California; the quintessential location for houses that are meticulously designed. Since living there is not an option, I spend a sinful amount of time perusing houses that are located there oohing and aahing at...
Some tropical inspiration.
This tropical inspired vacation home boasts enviable architectural features like the cathedral ceiling and painted white beams (as pictured above) and is all about comfort, colour, and whimsy! I love that the couches are slip covered for easy wash and care. The...
Whitewashed…
Or maybe it is the contrast brought about from the use of the light hued furniture and accessories? I see my favourite Italian coffemaker too. I am loving this home more and more! Some serious sunbathing could take place in front of these windows! Love, love it all!...
A Stylish Parisian Apartment.
I saw this Parisian apartment on one of my must read blogs and had to share it here! As you know, I’m smitten with all things Parisian and for good reason! The French is the embodiment of beauty and all things stylish. I love this library/wall...
“Real” Books vs. the Kindle
I was talking to two of my co workers yesterday about purchasing the Hunger Games series(I’ve got the fever). I was telling one of them that I was going to see if Barnes and Noble has them. I asked one coworker where she purchased hers and she said she just ordered it...
The Space Below.
Often times, when we decorate or accessorize, we tend to forget that space below. For e.g., in that picture above the blue stools below the console table balance the look. If they were absent, the look would appear “unfinished” or one would think that something is...
Esprit Home Paris.
Just yesterday, I was telling you how much I love my Esprit blanket, so when I stumbled upon information about their new collection a day later, I thought that this wasn’t a coincidence. This Paris collection has a earthy vibe to it and would fit...
My Thrift Rocker and Ottoman for the Nursery.
Before One day in early December, I went to the paint store to purchase some paint. While leaving the paint store, I spotted a warehouse type building across the street that had a sign advertising used furniture and that it was opened to the public. Somehow, I found...
A Fun and Colourful Home in Sintra/Portugal.
I love when a home reflects its owners personality and when it’s not “decorated” to comply with trends or certain design rules. This home showcases a mix of bright colours, clashing patterns, and a love for textiles. According to the lady of the house: Home...
