Fall-ing in Love...

It's been a long while since I visited the wonderful site of Inslee, or her blog for that matter... I have posted on Inslee's work a few times, and I am still loving her work!  I was not looking for anything particularly, but came across this pretty fall-y image via the blog, and just felt it was perfect for this Monday Morning.

I am thinking I might pick up these cards for Christmas... I know, it's a little early to start thinking about Christmas, but considering Saturdays post / announcement, I am trying to get organized well ahead of time!!

(Monday) Morning Java

Busy week ahead, so starting the week with espresso might be a good idea ;)

(Monday) Morning Java!

Rise and Shine!

It's a super beautiful day here in South Florida! Sunny, cool (for us), no wind (not even a breeze at this point), no clouds, no dreaded humidity, just PERFECT! 

I feel so fortunate that I can enjoy this weather, really enjoy it :) For as long as I have lived here, I have been working in a job, where this time of year is "crunch time", being that South Florida is a seasonal place for so many northerners, which translates into "busy time" for everyone else, which again means that one is stuck working many extra hours and therefor is unable to truly appreciate why we choose to live in Florida in the first place... hmmmm... Clearly I have been longing for the freedom to truly enjoy what so many come so far to have, and all along I have "it" right here!!

So today, I will be HAPPY and APPRECIATIVE !

(Monday) Morning Java...

OK, so by the time this post hits the blog-o-sphere, it will have become afternoon, but that's only because I have been busy tackling my to-do list this morning... Yes, I actually wrote a list, so not to forget anything, and let me tell you... it's a loooonnnggggg one today, LOL!!

With all these cups of yummy deliciousness above, 

I should be able to get through the day and "The List"!

New Month, New Week, New Day & a New Beginning...

... and this is where I am starting!
Nothing better than new, clean, fresh & pretty sheets, don't you agree??

So MUCH has happened in the last two months, it has been hard to deal with, eye opening and.... I am not 100% ready to share, but change is a coming, my friends!

Have a wonderful start to the second half of the year, the new month, the new week &
a new day :)

A little sprinkle goes a long way...

Went off on a search for a particular lamp image on Pinterest today, and as it just so happened, I got totally sidetracked!

How festive is this cake????
(LOVE the little gold stars!)

Perfection!!!

May these little sprinkles brighten your week :)

Happy Monday!

Color makes me happy! ... well, almost as happy as white :)

This little still life combines so many of my favorites;
White, pink, turquoise, hydrangea, sea shells, candle light, amethyst and lacquer. So pretty!!
Hope your Monday starts your week on a happy note :)

Monday morning quiet time!

Continuing the "theme" of my last post; A bowl of Cafe au Lait and breakfast starts the morning off on a good note!

While technically this is a "day off" from work, I have a busy day ahead of me:

- Meeting with a client this morning; A European Girl having a difficult time with the scale of furniture in her new US home... Some homes here are excessively grand, and can be difficult to furnish.
- Lunch with a friend and a newly graduated Interior Design student, for a little guidance.(I'm flattered, I must say!!)
- And then onto another meeting with a potential new client. Not quite sure what to expect, I only know that this is a second home. Busy, busy, busy...!

Bar none....

So, all I want to say with this image is;
Is Monday too early in the week?? :)

I love the Not-to-Serious vibe; m&m's, candy colored ping pong balls and bats... this looks like a fun party! I will be attending an 80th birthday party next Saturday... it's a pool party!
Hmmmm, not exactly sure what to think about that, but I will show up, just so I can let you all know what happened... ;)

Happy Monday!

Ohhhhh, how I totally did not want to get out of bed today!! I was hoping the weekend could last a little longer, if not a few hours more.... and if only my bedroom only looked this good and pulled together...

I L.O.V.E the color of the upholstered bed and the duvet cover is fantastic! A little traditional, but it's really a nice mix I think, you? And you can't beat the fresh flowers on the nightstand. Notice how the edge of the skirt on the nightstand picks up the teal color in the headboard and also makes the accent in the duvet pop!

Dreamy!!

Happy Monday!

Starting the week off on a clean slate and what is prettier than soft white roses!!
Love how the little silver bud vase shimmers.

 
Wouldn't these small bouquets make a fine "runner" down a table? All those pale greens and soft whites...
Let me tell you a little secret; though it doesn't appear so, these are not natural flowers! Can you believe how real the look?? I am a big lover of fresh flowers, but if you are not lucky enough to have a garden to cut from, it can get really expensive :).

Would you let silk flowers in your house if they looked this good??

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

While many people all over the world are enjoying the few extra days off after Christmas, I am back at work.... but it's OK :) !

Please stay warm, especially if you are snowed in, as so many of you are this time around!
It's super cold even in Florida, if that's any consolation??

Hi All, Happy Monday!

Starting the week with the light filled room, designed by Katie Fine Design. What appeals to me, besides the light streaming in from the windows, are the pops of fresh color; be it flowers, plants or simply a throw!
Also... the mix of styles and period pieces keep the eye moving around the room! Speaking of "moving", the large black & white photograph has a lot of movement, without taking away from the rest of the room. Keeping the artwork simple leaves the focus on the grouping rather than a loud painting....

Hope you have a fun and busy week ahead of you!

Happy Monday!

A little ray of sunshine in my in-box this morning... I was thinking I should share, as it made me smile :).  The pretty curves, the happy color, the leaves, the vase with simple greenery... Happy Fall!!

Hope you have a wonderful start to your week!
