Somedays you just feel inspired by what's out your front window, the people you passed by on the street, or even an old photograph of someone you don't even know. For all the many little inspirations in life; take time to reflect and see the beauty in your day!

The Home Wish - List
To a long over-due post that my husband keeps nagging about; I decided to make a current wish-list for him! Primarily my taste applied- I did add a few things that he would agree we need in our humble abode verses just the ever-so occurring want list...
| We pretty much need a whole new Bedroom...I'll be happy with a few pieces. - Noir Poster Bed, Michael Weiss Night Stand, Cococozy Window Treatments, Robert Abbey Lighting - |
| To the non-existing Dining room...where everything is missing. - Robert Abbey pendant chandelier, 40"Rd. table from Noir, Vera Wang dishware, linen upholstered chairs, Surya Rug - |

The "Farmhouse" Master Bedroom
My lovely sister Kim is getting married in the spring; and amongst planning her wedding, she has a hefty To-Do list in the farmhouse her fiance just bought. It is a gorgeous white house with original moldings, early 19th century wallpaper, a front porch stoop with a large picture window & stain glass in the living room. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of work to do in the house...
Just to name a few: Tear down the ugly ceiling panels, remove three+ layers of aged wallpaper, paint every room, gut the bathrooms, rip up the carpet & of course decorate.
So I am trying to help out the best way possible living on the opposite side of the country...with pictures! They are turning the "Hidden Room" off the upstairs bathroom into their Master Bedroom(Genius) - and her goal is to achieve a country-cottage'esque feeling; with white or cream walls & splashes of color. The entire space is floor-to-ceiling old wood panelling. So here goes; these are currently the ideas & direction we're taking...

| White, simple, serene |
![]() |
| Creme with a splash of color |
![]() |
| A mono-chromatic "neutral" palette |
![]() |
| Quilt bedding to bring in color |
![]() |
| White with red accents... |
![]() |
| Love the red metal frame against the creamy walls |
![]() |
| Maybe butterscotch is the way to go... |
![]() |
| I like the whitewashed walls with the varnished hardwood flooring |
![]() |
| Cream bedding with a colorful rug |
![]() |
| This feels so warm & cozy |
![]() |
| Great textured bedding with simple cream panels |
You'll have to wait til' Spring to see the Before & Afters...
