. color inspiration * tobacco .

a color that is the most luxurious mix of brown, white, and

i must say gold because of how lovely it is... i call it tobacco.

it's so rich and absolutely comforting.

mixed with white it is entirely sophisticated and  polished,

with black or a dark brown it is moody and mysterious.

fresh flowers are perhaps the simplest way to 

brighten up ones home...

and my first tulips of the year sit upon the desk,

. just pretty * baby it's cold outside .

vintage glamor in all it's glory...

. ps. i miss you .

oh how i wish the ocean was near,

as one of those days is upon me when all i 

wish to do is curl up in the sun and hear nothing 

but turquoise waves kissing the beach.

if you are so lucky as to be at the sea today,

say "hello" to an old friend for me...

♥

. feather the nest .

seems as if this time of year an overwhelming desire to feather

and fluff and renew, as organization and simplifying always on a 

affirmation list. as well as a way to figure out a system that functions

well but is still beautiful... 

restocking the linen closets with the most luxuriously soft

white egyptian cotton towels and a lovely new set of

stark white 700 tread count sheets... ahhhh heaven. 

i think that is a good start.... yes?

. just pretty * a plump rose .

plump and pretty, how wonderous

a single bloom can be...

. tech with style .

a most wonderful gift by my beloved over the

holidays...(he always gets me the most wonderful things), and this

year to no avail he has outdone himself with my sleek new ipad2.

quite unsure how i lived without it before...

now in the search of the most lovely case.

. a board of inspiration .

only days into the new year and so many ideas
swirling and twirling in my head about the possibilities for 2012...
a vision board is the most wonderful way
to start the year with a creative bang!
love love love making my own...
xoxo
