the natural

these are the work of charles baker, as seen in new england home. it is self-admittedly "eclectic" and harmonious style.
















you can't even tell this is a bathroom.





i adore the chess boards on the wall.

how cheery.

again, considering the effort it takes for me to try to put together one room with foresight and style, i truly admire an entire home that is this beautiful. enjoy!

moss

this savannah home was featured by martha stewart. i am so enchanted by the setting. i love the spanish moss hanging from the trees and the way the house looks nestled into its surroundings.

so calming. love the single plant.
what a great table.

welcome.

we moved into our home about a year ago and one of the first purchases i made was a wreath quite similar to the one below. i felt it was the appropriate way to welcome fall and to welcome guests. there is something so cheerful about a pretty wreath. i imagined other wreaths that would grace our front door -- an evergreen wreath for Christmas, a wreath of forsythia to bring the spring...but then I was so enamored with my fall wreath that I couldn't bear to take it down and to be honest I never purchased any other pretty wreaths to take its place. so it is still on my front door welcoming the fall again this year.

i like the idea of the transitional door hangings below. harvest and winter themes mingled together. wouldn't these be lovely for late november and early december? i am feeling motivated to find another beautiful wreath.

isn't this front just fabulous with the red door?

open me.

this is a tough one for me - endless options. and something so small that can have such a huge impact. decorative hardware, kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. there are too many to choose from. or make for yourself. they can spruce up an outdated kitchen, bring a whimsical side to an otherwise regimented kitchen, or make a bold statement in a simple kitchen. you choose.
