Friday Inspiration: House Beautiful

When was the last time you cracked the cover of a House Beautiful magazine?  Me either, until it became an online resource.  I am sitting in LAX, surfing through some sites and snagged these inspirational photos. Each one has something I really like. Each one brings something to the table.  Might just be one table, or a chair, or the overall saturation of color and texture.  Something.  Enjoy!

Relax: Outdoor Spaces

It's Friday.  I've been a maniac all week getting ready for a presentation and a couple of trips.  Relaxing for a minute, I was surfing a few blogs and ran across this amazing front porch at Imparting Grace, a wonderful blog, check it out in its entirety. I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

Look At This: A Palette

I surf a lot of blogs; I look at a lot of things on the web.  I found a palette that I really liked today at French Essence Vicki Archer. I love these vignettes - they get better and better!

Friday Favorite: A Country Farmhouse

I found a cool blog today. A Country Farmhouse.  Beautifully renovated country home done by a young couple with two small children.  Really nice.  I snagged some photos and here they are.   Enjoy.

Lilac

Awesome shiny porch with a great view.

Whose kitchen shelves look this good?

Yep. My kitchen always looks this good too.           not.

Everyone loves a claw foot tub, right?

Al fresco.

Thanks! Come back and see us again.  Exit strategy.

Personal Style: I Love These Rooms

I have a definite style. I love neutrals. I love classic style.  I ran across these rooms in the latest Restoration Hardware catalog. I visited the website and saved these vignettes to share with you.  I could completely live in any of these rooms.  Love these rooms and thought I'd share them with you.

Colors of the Day: Blue & White

I love blue and white (or...) porcelains as can be seen in my house.. these photos using a new Nikon DX 55-200mm telephoto lens.
