Feminine living......thoughts on home

As I have mentioned, my goal to finish my home by the holidays.. (or almost finish it anyway). I figured I would take the advice I give to my own clients when they are feeling frazzled by their projects:  "Let's finish the room(s) that you (or we) have started so you feel as though one space is finished." This gives you both a clear sense direction and accomplishment! My bedroom is almost finished. It only needs a few finishing touches so I have decided to wrap that up. The room will be the most feminine one in my home, besides my daughter's bedroom. It is a fairly calming space except for a slightly graphic rug. The colors I've used so far are shades of navy, pale pink, and white. There are feminine details that I am drawn to in all of these bedrooms and I too have used a oatmeal color linen bed and fairly neutral bedding. 

Thoughts on home...

With Fall approaching, I'm looking forward to focusing some of my energy and time on the inside of my home. Much like the cobbler anecdote, my projects tend to come last. I can't really bare to spend the gorgeous weekends indoors on "home" projects during the summer months. When the weather turns raw and chilly I enjoy focusing on my house!! This top image shows what I have done so far on my daughter Emerson's room. I had custom pillows made along with Pottery Barn Kids bedding.( PB Kids is having a 60% off  Labor Day Sale ) The walls are painted light pink in Clark+Kensington's :  Cherry Blossom 03D-1. It is a beautiful pale pink shade. The two images below are of my grandmother's (we called her Memere) bed. She was a very special person and I'm looking forward to using her bed in my daughter's room. Emmi and I chatted about her room this morning and we've decided to paint the bed a pretty yellow shade. I think the rug will be pink and white...

thoughts on home - 9.17.12

Hello loves. I hope you had a great weekend. I don't have much time to read my favorite blogs (side bar) never mind discover newbies but the other day I stumbled upon A House in the Hills . You may have seen these images on Pinterest or somewhere in the blogosphere but it was too fantabulous NOT to post! I LOVE jewels and baubles. Again, another pinterest obsession of mine but my collection (not as amazing as Sarah's) has gotten a bit out of control and is surely a tad disorganized!! I'm drawn to creative people so I got swept up with Sarah's blog for a while one morning. If you'd like a visual treat, be sure to look for her blog post on her gorgeous wedding photographs, dress, day etc. It's inspiring (even to a girl who is "almost" - 3 weeks and counting divorced.) I love, to know that "true" love exists! I guess once a romantic, always a romantic! (and trust me that doesn't mean I'll be running down the aisle never mind dating serio...
