Let’s imagine plopping down a simple, fabric sling beach chair right here. Gazing out to sea with the sounds of the ocean waves. Do all your concerns melt away for these moments? Does the beach life inspire you?

The Private Oasis
Recently, I spent a day in the Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. They are so pretty and gave me so many ideas. I have been wanting to transform a corner of my backyard to a quiet, private oasis were I can read my design magazines, daydream and watch my children play in the rest of the […]
Happy in the Hammock
Today is such a steamy day with breaks of rainy downpours. It’s very comfortable to sit in my air-conditioned home but I’d rather be daydreaming in a hammock in one of the beautiful locations below! Does the thought of gazing into the sky while in a hammock inspire you, too?
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. […]

Relaxing like a Southerner on a Front Porch

Evening’s Calm
My favorite time of the day. Evening. The sun is setting with a little color peeking through the trees or over the roofs. The water is still as it’s finished for the day. It signifies how I feel… relaxed. It’s my time to think about how the day went and what to expect for tomorrow. […]
Beautiful Skies
When I get a chance to lie in the hammock and stare up at the sky, I’m a very happy person. I’m an even happier person if I’m lying in the hammock, looking at the sky, with my kids in my arms, too. It’s just so relaxing to watch the clouds move and change shape. […]
