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...

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...
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...
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...
