My Dining Room.


{Note:these pictures are old and I have modified a bit since but the colors, furniture, and chandelier is the same}



In my home I have a lovely dining set given to me by Brad's mother.. I adore it.. However, the cream fabric does not love our two daughters. :)


{Following pictures are not mine {How I wish.} but are for inspiration}



I am in the beginning stages of reupholstering said set of chairs.. deciding a fabric..

I love cream and chocolate and will keep that the same.. I just need fabric that can handle spaghetti and spilled chocolate milk...

I am considering using cream faux croc. What do you think?

Soft. Lovely. Pink.


Whether small amounts of pink...









Or an entire room filled with gorgeous pink silk...

No other color, I believe, can create a soft feminine space for that girly girl in all of us..

My Favorite Little Black Dress.


{Click image to enlarge}
Breathtaking, no?

This space feels so indulgent..

So many shoes... so many lovely lovely shoes...



A bit of glamour.


A dash of color.

Followed by a soak in the tub.

Do You Believe?



One thing my girls have always been fascinated with is fairies. So beautiful. So magical. What lovely little pretties I've found for a little girls room that believes....




Enjoy. And don't ever think you're too old to believe.

In The Still Of The Night.




I want nothing more this weekend then to spend some romantic time with my love... How much I adore waking up next to him on a chilly morning with the beautiful snow falling outside our windows.... next we have coffee and discuss our busy weeks while we stand in the kitchen.. this could last for hours.. we finally manage to get dressed and decide what winter adventure {he ALWAYS picks this} we will take our girls on... last weekend it was ice skating.


I love feminine and romantic decor...

- A fabulous throw at the bottom of the bed to snuggle in-

- A lovely chandelier in an unexpected place.. the rose petals help a tad. ;)

- A warm fire with comfortable pillows to lounge on.

- Though it may be a tad too feminine for some, this entire space feels romantic.




- I love when the sun shines in to awaken a beautiful nights sleep.


- Roses, crystals, and old love letters are nice as well.

Have a lovely and romantic weekend.

Golden Warmth.


Even with the hint of sunshine glowing through my bedroom windows this morning, everything around me still looks like this...


And though I favor shades of silver, I've noticed that the Golden and Amber shades do seem to add such warmth to a space.. I've found a few lovely photographs below showing just that...
Enjoy.
