I’m stuck in a dream of crisp white subway tiles, marble, beveled mirrors, clawfoot tubs, and drippy crystal chandeliers. I’ve been pinning quaint cottage bathtubs and daydreaming of shabby chic whites. While the laundry is piling up in the basement, I’ve been busy browsing through magazines and searching through blogs for the perfect bathroom inspiration!

A vintage mirror, oh how I love a vintage mirror or two. Nothing makes me weak in the knees quite like an old beveled mirror aged to perfection. Can you have too many in one little cottage? Of course, I think not! I believe I’ve heard my honey call it a mirror obsession. Yes, I’m sure. I confess I’m swooning over vintage mirrors of all kinds … they just pull at my heart strings. How about a cracky, shabby old […]

I plan to enjoy it while I can, hot and sticky is waiting for us […]

Here they are in the garden along with a bright pink knockout rose bush and our concrete birdbath. The mountain mint is growing tall in the background, that stuff will take over when your not looking!

Today was a day of messin’ around in the garden, not one of those hardcore, break your back kind of days. The kind with lots of milling around, planting a few shade flowers, and maybe snapping a few photos for the blog.

Talk about one super-sized, spontaneous furniture purchase — a baby grand! We have been toying around with the idea of a piano for a couple of years now. The bottom line is I didn’t want to give up some of my favorite furniture pieces. They weren’t fancy or expensive pieces, I just couldn’t bare to part with them. But, I did. And I am so glad I did. My son has been filling our house with the most beautiful music, […]
