Bashful

Lately I am lusting after anything blush.  Now that my living room chairs are recovered and I've selected a fabric for the ottoman, I think luscious, silk, blush-colored drapes are in order.  (Wall color TBD.)  Below is some of my inspiration.

Christina Murphy Interiors

Striped walls, gleaming hardwood floors, and a great stair runner are ingredients for a classic foyer/hallway.  You can bet your bottom dollar my next foyer will incorporate similar details.

Wise Words

Life is all about choices and balance.  That's why I've been MIA.  Writing this blog brings me such joy, so I can state, without a shadow of a doubt, I will be back full time once my plate has more space.  

In the meantime... You know I love a good quote. Here are some that keep me going.












Now that I have pasted nearly every quote on my Pinterest board...

Air of Elegance

Perhaps it was the morning field trip to the aviation museum or my everyday demeanor ... but my head is in the clouds.  No longer is luxury design confined to the ground.  Illustrious fashion houses, such as Versace and Hermes, have taken aircraft interiors to new heights.

Such extravagance seems frivolous; especially when one considers the abundance of poverty, social injustices, and health crises plaguing humankind.  That being said, each person on Earth, regardless of economic status, deserves a home or space that, as Oprah eloquently stated, "rise(s) up to meet you."  
I am not suggesting Hermes helicopters for all; simply that everyone deserves a safe space that is a reflection of one's self.  

Most of my content is utterly ridiculous and unattainable to 99% of the population.  However, my "CDJ's" offer me inspiration, stretch my imagination, and  make me smile.  I hope they do the same for you. 


Cheers!

Get(me)away

I need a vacation (home). This should suit my needs.


A tasteful entrance.

Pleasing details, such as mill work.

Calming neutral palette.



Room for company. 




Sufficient space and comfortable appointments. 




Peaceful surroundings 


Reasonable Price Tag.

$24,000,000

I think I will pass on this home.  The location leaves something to be desired.

Over Here

While it appears I've fallen off the face of the earth, I can assure you the opposite is true:  life is moving at warp speed.  Lately stress monopolizes my Covet du Jours, yet I am hopeful the near future holds lots of exciting opportunities.

Is your life in high gear as well?  Take a gander at this ethereal apartment, by Kelly G Design, and feel the stress melt away.
