The Beauty of Swedish Mora Clocks
Going online and looking at pictures from antique shops or blogs with photos of beautiful, white, Scandinavian design truly inspires me. I especially love the clean, soft white and light gray shape of the Mora clocks. The tall, curvy, colorful clocks are named after the town that they originated from…. Mora, Sweden. The current “shabby […]
Chaise Lounge: To Relax or To Clutter
As it is, I have a glider between the nightstand and the closet with a window behind. The glider is very convenient with a baby but now that my baby is actually considered a toddler, I’m starting to rethink the space. I imagine having a pretty chaise lounge with a floor lamp behind. This would […]
A Navy Blue Home
The color of a home and the landscaping are the two most important elements for your home’s curb appeal. Yesterday, the weather was gorgeous so I spent some time outside working on the yard. It’s so great having that time in the dirt and sun after a snowy Winter and then a rainy Spring. It’s […]
Colorful Mondays {tiles}
One of the wonderful things about traveling is viewing new architecture styles. Azulejo is a form of Portuguese painted, tin-glazed, ceramic tile work. It comes from an Arabic word, az-zulayj, which directly translates to “polished stone.” It has been produced for five centuries and the tradition is also seen in former Spanish and Portuguese colonies […]
People Watch: Grand Central

I used to work above Grand Central Terminal in New York City. There were those days when I would get stressed, need a breather, or need some inspiration so […]

Research shows that nature helps not only physically but also mentally. People have more energy, […]
Something Basic, Something Routine, yet Something Interesting (to Me)
After thinking about my People Watch: Dubrovnik post, I decided to post some of my laundry photos. Traveling to other countries and exploring the neighborhood streets is very inspiring to me. I love it when I see the laundry hanging from the clothes lines. To people who live in these countries, this could be boring […]
A Basket Full of Chocolate
Easter is getting close and I’m starting to think about my children’s Easter baskets. How much chocolate is too much for a three-year-old? Well, this is simply a rhetorical question. I have taught my children to share (with me)! Anyways, these thoughts get me thinking about quaint chocolate shops. There are certainly less of them […]
Outdoors in Indoor Private Space
A private space that is outdoors and indoors is a great place for me to daydream. It’s very relaxing to have the comforts of home but hear the birds chirping so clearly and smelling fresh-cut grass. Watching the breeze sail through the rustling leaves and then feel it flow across my face is so refreshing. […]
