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...

A Brick House in India.
This home is located in a small village Munavali, close to Alibaug; which is said to be a favorite getaway for affluent Bombay citizens as a place to build their dream country home. This home has Affluence. Written. All. Over. It! A project by Spasm Design...
Serious Closet Envy…
Salivating, panting, but most of all green with envy. Take a sneak peek inside of stylist extraordianire, Mary Alice Stephenson’s closet… Just spectacular don’t you think? And don’t you just love the way Mary organizes her jewelry? Très magnifique indeed!...
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...
Trendy.
His name is Ouigi Theodore and I bet he doesn’t follow trends, he starts them. This space is totally trending 2012 décor faves; the blues, purples with splashes of black. Ouigi might not be able to sit comfortably in that couch(which I adore), but I think he would...
A Soft Caress..
For the purpose of this post I shall define Caress to be when one lightly runs his/her hand up and down an item in a home because it’s irresistible in its appearance. My reaction to the décor of a home is probably not a typical one. I am quite visual so I if...
Splendid Willow Kids and Danish Design
There is something innately sexy about the design of Danish furniture or accessory. To me, a Danish piece equals classical, well made and as such will always be relevant. Well, guess what!? Thanks to the wonderful Monika and her...
An Apartment.
We’re finally feeling like winter here in NC. I was complaining a few weeks ago about the lack of cool weather but as the saying goes, “be careful what you wish for,” because today we’re in the 20s. So, I am putting off running errands and instead, drooling over the...
Zion’s chalkboard wall
Zion’s play room is a working progress. I actually observe how he uses the space and then go from there with design ideas etc. I painted Zion’s chalkboard wall for him when I was 81/2 months pregnant. I also painted the adjoining walls an orange colour(no surprise...
Great Use of Wall Paper and Update:
I love the double duty that this Cole and Son wallpaper plays in this space. It adds visual interest and also disguises the storage cupboards that are nestled under the staircase. Lovely splashes of colour too! In Baby News: This shot is a pic from my...
Loving these…
I really love all of the above! I especially adore the words by Audrey Hepburn. What’s up for the weekend my friends? My Mom is coming on Sunday for a week long visit and I am Super Thrilled! I am going to be pampered endlessly and probably told what to do like, “you...
Keeping a Clean Kitchen.
Keeping a clean kitchen can be a pain in the buttocks! I feel like I am always cleaning my kitchen. How about you? If I’m home, most of my time is spent in the kitchen either prepping a meal, fixing a snack for Z, cooking, sorting my mail( I sort my mail at our...
Colour, Texture, Layers…
I didn’t need an elaborate narrative on this house. It flirts blatantly with you through its splashes of colours, use of a variety of textures, and all the layers. Such beautiful accessories! Ohh la la ! Happy Thursday everyone! XX {images}
Aynhoe Park: Say Hello to Lots of Taxidermy and Plaster Casts.
I was nibbling on my second Nestle mini ice cream drumsticks last night and feeling sorry for myself ( I had to bid farewell to the hubby again this week because Uncle Sam decided to whisk him off to fight for his country) when I came across a...
