Back from my vacation and ready to go go go....
Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. I have been MIA for a little over a month but am very excited to see all the lovely posts I missed over the holiday season and early in this new year.

I have been working on adding some of my completed work from the past year and thought I'd let you in on another little sneak peak.

Hope you like what you see.













Look out for my upcoming portfolio... coming soon!

Trending the Union Jack

Hello everyone! I have been a busy B for the last week or so catching up on last minute work before we leave on our VACATION! Yay!

On today's post I will be displaying one of my somewhat newer obsessions (over the last couple years), the Union Jack. My UK born hubby couldn't be more thrilled about bringing this element into our next home. Here are some great ideas for styling and decorating with this fabulous trend.















What's a trend obsession of yours? I would love to hear about it!

For the Love of Grey!

I am so in love with all things grey. It's the new black brown in my case since that was my finish of choice prior to the grey phenomenon. Here are some 'to die for' images from my inspiration folder. Hope you like them!

Today's Feature : Small Shop Studio

Back at it from the weekend.....



Last week I posted this lovely little vignette with peonies and a Tom Ford book in it and later had the chance to go back and peruse more of the images from the fabulous blog by designer/brand stylist Erica Brechtel of Small Shop. Her sweet pad really caught my eye and I felt it deserved a shout out since the entire space is just darling!

Here are a few more images from her home......

Hope you're all having a great start to your week!

Feeling Blue?

While I simply love all White interiors, my other obsession is with the colour Blue. Now, I must admit even with the holiday season approaching, I was feeling a little blue today (bad weather blues), but after putting together this inspiration board of rich, bright and vibrant blues, turquoise and indigo blues, the phrase 'Feeling Blue' has a very different meaning now.
Hope this turns around those Blue days for you!

What's you're remedy for the bad weather blues?

It's whats inside that counts.... Closets!

Hello all! Its Hump Day and I have been a busy B, space planning and designing our next home. The focus for today was our Master Bedroom closet. It is a generously sized closet and dressing room, however my budget is not seeing things my way. Today's inspiration pages are dedicated to fabulous closet spaces.
Enjoy!

Although I believe it's what's on the inside that counts (in closets too), it doesn't hurt to have good bone structure (giggles).

Phew... Getting closer to the weekend!
