Simple And Sweet...

 Loving the sweet, charming feel of this home!
The white canvas walls are the perfect backdrop for the perfect combination of layered pastels.
It's earthy, clean and soft - making each space perfectly dreamy:
























  I love when people get creative and think outside the box.  
This home is a work of art!

ABC Kitchen

I have to say - I am a foodie!!!
I came across some images of ABC Kitchen and now I'm hooked!
I have to go to NYC and try this amazingly, stimulating (visually) restaurant!
After going to Husk, in Charleston, SC I'm ruined forever!!!  I'm in the lookout for something similar!

At ABC Kitchen, Jean Georges Vongerichten prepares local organic ingredients with a farm-to-table feel. 
Check out the images of this place:













Who has been to this place?!!
Let me know your opinion - or if there is a favorite restaurant you would recommend!

Hope you have a wonderful week full of good food and fun!!

LLamas' Valley Magazine...

Just found an inspiring magazine that's all about the uniqueness and gifts from inspiring minds from all around the world.  
Each page turn is a treat:











This is so off the subject, but while I was creating this post my husband was laughing while on his computer! I had to see what was so funny, next thing I knew I was slapping my knee in hysterics!!!
I guess I don't get out much, but I thought this youtube video was pretty funny!  That left turn had to be little humbling for the owner of that car... who would have thought a car like that wouldn't handle a simple turn?!

Charming home... Beautiful Family!

I loved these images taken by Mel Yates I found on one of my favorite blogs Sanctuary!
I couldn't help but be taken by the charming rooms and the way this beautiful family lives!
I have always been drawn to design and architecture, but it's so much more interesting and personal when you see the images of the people who actually live there:













 I love Bobby McAlpine's quote: "What we crave in life is an outer beauty that reflects the gorgeous world inside us."  He goes on to explain that what we envision can become our reality, because we do have control over our own lives.  He quotes, "We do have the power to create our own environment--and our environment, in turn shapes us. 

Never forget to put your dreams out there!

Albourne...

I love the rich tone-on-tone layers throughout this gorgeous home located in West Sussex!
Soft pastels with black are used as accent colors, but notice how the black is not overpowering and it grounds some of the rooms perfectly.  Homes like these withstand the test of time trend wise: 





































Some of the rooms in this house remind me of the movie Practical Magic!
In the butler's pantry notice the black floor to ceiling cabinets coupled with the vintage butcher's table... so Practical Magic... don't you think?!
