. just pretty * blushing pink pretty .

quite a lovely combination of blush and 

shocking hot pink... positively pretty!

. hello & a week of pretty .

... a week of gold leafing, and gleaming white paint, and the search for

perfect lamp shades, and yards and yards of fabric being hung ---

a moment of realization that it resembles the most luxurious rough-hewn linen.

with all of that said, still many last minute things to tweak and perfect.

unable to stay away for another second, we will be 

having a week of "just pretty" while finish off the new office 

with a giant bow...

hope your week is off to a fabulous start!

. hello & bouchon .

 

 

 seems as if when traveling there is always that one special place 

that stands out... and our recent holiday in sin city is no exception...

the delicious Bouchon Bistro stole our heart.

after a day of long and exhausting travel we settled into a plush

cobalt blue velvet banquette, enjoyed the ambiance, and awaited

our selected french fare...

the mr. (always able to choose the best on ANY menu) decided upon

the Steak Bouchon... 

{a grilled new york strip steak with potato boulangère,celery branch & black truffle jus}

 it was absolutely magnificent, so much so in fact that he is still raving about it.

after such a lovely four course meal we returned

our last day to say farewell...and enjoy breakfast.

ps... after returning home and discovering that the French word “bouchon” describes a particular style of cafe that has existed in the province of Lyon for centuries, if possible i am even more enamored with this lovely restaurant...
