via, first spotted on sfgirlbybay The art of feng shui has always appealed to me and I’ve always referred to its foundation/premises when I decorate my home. In fact, when I had Zion, I used the information I learned about feng shui to determine the placement of his...
It’s Not Winter Anymore…
Almost all week, we’ve been basking in mid 60 degree weather. This weekend, it will feel like we’ve said aurevoir to Winter as we enjoy almost 80 degree weather here in North Carolina. Nowadays, because of the unpredictable nature of the weather, I check what it will...
New Year’s Eve Party: Fantasy Style
This year, I’m thrilled to not be the one hosting the New Year's Eve party, thus this post will not be filled with how to decorate your table, what to serve, etc. Instead, I want you to join me as I prepare for the evening; free of the responsibilities that come with...
A little Distraction…?
Many of us are probably still glued to the news after what happened and could use a little distraction. I am still trying to come to grips with the shooting that took place yesterday in Newtown, Ct. I was brought to tears like so many of you...

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...
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...

Some tropical inspiration.

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 Friend Like You: Patrice
Sometimes even I need a reminder of this sometimes. Thank you to my friend Patrice for this reminder… I feel so lucky to have a friend like Patrice; you know the one that you can call on the phone and before you even say that something is wrong, somehow...
