The Magic of Snow




images via pinterest

I love many, many things...but snow could quite possibly be one of my most favorites.  There is just something about the stillness...how it muffles sounds and creates the most magical blanket of shimmery white.  I know some of you probably get too much, but here in the south...its never enough!

Beautiful soft sage green is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.  I've been using it at home mixed with grey and creamy white....

Hope this week is filled with holiday joy...

Dressed in my comfy ballet flats, my warm and cozy cashmere cardigan and coffee in hand I am headed out for the day determined to finish my Christmas shopping.   

Wish me luck!!

A Place to Land After a Very Busy Weekend

image via

I'm happy to be back after a trip to California...a little work, a little fun, a little relaxation.  It was the perfect trip and the weather was spectacular!

I returned to a rainy Monday and days filled with endless things to catch up on and yet all I can image is sitting on this fantastic chaise with a book and relaxing...

Hope you had a wonderful last few days!

Happy Tuesday!

I absolutely adore this picture...rustic yet beautiful, I can image having this room off of the kitchen or dining room as maybe a multipurpose storage/butler's pantry?

Hope your Tuesday is off to a wonderful start!

Live well!

The Calm Before the Storm

image via

I'm finishing up a few last minute projects before the chaos starts later in the week.  Visiting relatives, Thanksgiving dinner x 2 and preparing for a business trip to California.  

This picture reminded me to take a little time to reflect on what this season really is.... Being thankful for all the blessings in our lives.

Enjoy the moments, live well....

Gearing up





I simply cannot believe that the holidays are upon us...

I just finished our Thanksgiving menu, and I noticed that several of our neighbors have already begun to decorate for Christmas and while doing a little shopping this weekend, I couldn't help but notice that EVERYTHING had a bit of shine and sparkle...

Have a beautiful Monday!   live well...

Swedish Influences

I am in love with the Stockholm apartment of artist and illustrator Mats Gustafson.  His mix of  grays, browns and ochers combined with his own collections of Scandinavian Modern furniture makes his part time home pure perfection.

Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday!  live well...
