Colorful Mondays: Blue Pools

This Monday will be a hot one! I’ll be drinking plenty of glasses of refreshing ice water. My glass of water may appear colorless but once the volume increases, such as in a pool, the light scatters and reflects and, well, here we are. We get to look at a gorgeous pool of blue water. […]

The Warmth of Exposed Brick

Exposed brick was a focal point in a couple of my New York City apartments. I really miss the brick and I plan on adding a brick wall to my current kitchen with two shelves to display a few, important items. It’s simple and rustic yet adds so much warmth to the space. Do you […]

Accented by a Pillow

I seem to be on a constant quest for the perfect accent pillow. A room can be somewhat plain and ordinary but add a snazzy, colorful pillow and there you have it… a touch of pizzazz! My living room is gray with some tan which is across from the navy dining room with tan curtains. […]

The Hello Hallway

The entrance into the home is the first meeting of your home and it can never make a second first impression. It’s important to keep the space clean and clutter-free. The last thing I want a guest to see as she walks in my door is a pile of dust next to a pile of […]

Colorful Mondays {kitchen countertops}

I wonder what it would feel like to wake up to a very colorful kitchen. There are so many countertop options out there. Would a bright yellow counter brighten your day? Would a pale blue counter soothe you? I like to know there are options but I will stick with my very favorite… the marble. […]

What a beautiful day! I had no idea about this wonderful national holiday. I guess I need to make a batch of cookies then! I do find it very inspiring to sit down with a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Do you?

Too Much Dust!

Do you hate to bend over and dust under the dresser and all the way under the middle of a large bed? It looks like there is a solution! I love this photo. I found it on the Swedish Elle Interior site. I can’t say this is so much inspiring because I’m not about to […]

Colorful Mondays {violet}

There are certain tidbits from school that I’ll never forget. One of them is that purple is not a real name of a color. My teacher said that Crayola created the name and we should refer to the color between red and blue as violet. Do you refer to the color as purple or violet? […]

I Just Need a Chair Here… in Adare

I would like to put a chair right here and just gaze at this gorgeous view. Do you find this inspiring, too? This photo is of the Adare Gardens and Castle in Adare, Ireland. Photo: http://www.depositphotos.com/PatrykKosmider
