~Spring~Summer~

Spring/Summer Please hurry up! Hurry up. I can't wait for it to get here! I keep dreaming of warm weather. Well, today is Friday the 13th and last month had a Friday the 13th too! Two in a row. What's up with this date anyway? I have never even heard or seen of anything happening. The only thing I know is the movie that is scary but that's it. Does anyone else know any stories that have happened on this day or how this date got so suspicious?

~Cotton Candy, Sea and Grass Coastal Home~

BH&G

This Bedroom & bathroom aren't part of the home but they look like they could be. These rooms are from Western interiors~

I love all these cotton candy, sea blue and green grass colors! This coastal home is the kind I dream of~ I really like the kitchen and how in the 2an photo the cabinets on the bottom actually have legs on them. I thought that was pretty neat!

~Jennifer Lopez's Restaurant~

Well, last I heard Jennifer closed down the place after she had her twins. So, has anyone actually ate in this restaurant called Madre's located in Pasadena, California? Was it any good? I just fount out that this place was designed by Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic! I love her style. I found these photos in her book and she goes to explain that Jennifer envisioned the place as cuban, sexy and romantic. From the photos the restaurant looks very elegant, but I'm not really getting the cuban vibe!

~A big Thank you to Readers~

Sorry, if it's just a little hard to read but I wanted to take some time just to say Thanks!

~Gorgeous Kitchen~

Hey~ I hope everyone had a great weekend! In a Western Interiors magazine, I came across this gorgeous kitchen and I just knew I had to share it. Those chandeliers are stunning and the two windows surrounding the stove had such charm. I would have to say that the only one piece of decoration I wouldn't have in the room would be the animal head on the stove range. Not sure what else could be hung there but I'm sure something could be found! Have a great Day!!

~Swedish Style Home~

I've been very lucky lately coming across all of these lovely homes. At the moment it's this Swedish Home that has my attention!! This haven of pale European furnishing bathed in Sunlight is the home of Designer Shannon Bowers. She was inspired by colors found in nature - Robin's egg blue, light sand and the lavendar of hydrangeas which are soothing. It's all so gorgeous!

~Charming and Chic~

Since 1975, Chantal Thomass was the first designer not only to put underwear on the catwalk, but to encourage it to be seen, thus starting the vogue for ‘inside-out’, she has continued to create her distinctive lingerie - a mix of sexy elegance and exquisite lace, with a good, humorous dose of the femme fatale. The inside of her Paris apartment is no differnt mixing the style of eighteenth century Italy with forties French.
