. just pretty * crystal bows .

 beyond pretty...

♥

. color inspiration * camel .

the power of color that can evoke such feeling...

i adore the combination of camel and black, and if you mix

in a pretty hue of white or ivory it remains crisp and not dark.

 the long crystal chandelier and carved mantel take this room

well over the top of beautiful. love, love, love...

. picture rail .

whether it be fine art, finger paintings, or family photos,

pictures and art are a glimpse into our souls, a look at

what we really love... how better to showcase than a picture rail? 

in it's glory days, used to protect plaster from

adding hole after hole to walls that had a tendency to crack.

quite a lovely feature, yes?

happy day...

. my next DIY .

calming and relaxing with a little sparkle...

this bedroom i spied over at decor8 is simply lovely.

i adore the frayed traditional Moroccan wedding quilt with shiny sequins, 

making my own version may have to be my next DIY project. 

hmmmm.... have a wonderful monday.

. gold and crystal .

velvet hangers and luxurious white boxes hold silk and cashmere,

a quiet spot for love letters and ribbons, with a reserved seat for

hours and hours of stories and feasts, and finally a place to slip

into unbearably soft sheets... no matter the place, gold gilting 

and crystal are always welcome.

and what is not to love?

i'm completely and utterly smitten.
