Colorful Mondays {white}

I actually had a Colorful Mondays written about another topic but since I woke up to snow falling, I decided to post one about white. More specifically, this post is about Scandinavian interiors. As I look out my office window, all I see is snow falling! It is gorgeous, I must admit. The flakes are […]

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. […]

Living Abroad… at Home

Sometimes I daydream about living abroad. How about I bring abroad home and live in a European-style home here in the United States. I found some gorgeous homes online that look very European and have a charm that I adore. I can imagine having a quiet, fashionable life in one of these. These homes certainly […]

While I wait for Spring…

While I wait for the outdoor gardens to bloom, I’ll focus on the indoor flowers. Studies have proven that flowers improve emotional health. “They make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere.”said Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Rutgers and lead researcher on the study. Flowers produce happy emotions, boost feelings of […]

The Outdoor Entrance

These homes are so inspiring. I love their entrances! The stone and brick walks are so inviting. Looking at these photos inspire me to add brick to the driveway, completely re-do the front porch with brick and then there is the walkway. I’d love to make the walkway all brick and landscape with flowers and […]

House Hunter’s International

I DVR all the House Hunters International episodes that are on HGTV. For those who don’t know this show, it’s about people from the U.S. or England who are relocating to another country. We join them in their home search. Ultimately they choose between three places. It is so inspiring, especially for me, to see […]

Colorful Mondays {pink}

There is pink and then there is PINK. I was never one to like pink. Maybe it was because I am a girl and I’m supposed to like pink. Now that I have a daughter, who absolutely loves pink, she has opened my eyes to the color. It feels like a new color to me! […]

Clever Space Saver: Built-in Benches

I envision adding on to our kitchen with a nook for a table with lots of seating. Built-in benches allow a lot of people to fit into a small space. You can pack them in! I love the concept of saving space with building a bench into a wall. As I’m searching for kitchen benches, […]

Colorful Mondays {Combinations}

Let’s make this Monday very colorful with my favorite color combinations. Pink and green is one of my favorites. My baby’s room’s walls are a bright green and she has all bright pink accessories. As shown in the pictures below, it’s a great combination for a girl’s bedroom. Gray and yellow is one of my […]
