EUROPE ANYONE ?

I came home from work today, tired and in need of a vacation...I dont know why...I have had several days off lately but for some reason I feel the need for a major change of scenery...so after pouring a glass of wine and opening a box of thin mint girl scout cookies..(my number one weakness) (1200 calories if I choose to eat the whole box at once.) I sat down at the computer and began reading my favorite blogs and than all of a sudden I ended up in England at the Rose Villa...hope you all enjoy it as much as me...and just in case anyone wants to go just let me know...my bags can be packed in a jiffy and we could be on our way...but for now I will be dreaming....please join me..

Isn't it just the perfect home away from home...never underestimate the power of your dreams...celebrate your dreams...it's a way of looking at what your life holds when you let your imagination flow...

sweet dreams

WHERE ARE YOUR EGGS

AFTER CHRISTMAS I ALWAYS HAVE A HUGE URGE TO RE-ORGANIZE MY NEST...RE-EVALUATE MY LIFES' PURPOSE..AND MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES...ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND...SO TODAY I AM GOING TO START PUTTING MY EGGS IN THE CORRECT BASKET...SO WHERE ARE YOUR EGGS ? Number 1 re-nesting project...organize my drawers..what a great way to use all those mis matched bowls and cups that I seem to buy at the flea market..

I knew there was a reason why I was buying them...
organize closets and get rid of everything not used or worn in the last year...Salvation Army here I come....

organize bathroom and linen closets....

and come up with some creative , functional storage ideas around the house...

so my challenge begins today...hoping to turn my "scrambled "eggs into creative orgainzation one egg at a time...

Hoping everyone has a blessed weekend.....

REFRESHING STYLE

my new favorite style....I have had a lot of time lately to surf the web looking for new blogs, new decorating ideas , new recipes...etc..I am all of a sudden drawn to tone on tone rooms..or rooms that lack big bold color...I used to love red but all of a suddenit is not my favorite...I keep wanting everything to be ivory, tans, khaki, white, brown, maybe a little gray blue and greens in there...I came across this wonderful website that has tons of inspiration...I will be posting several pictures and ideas from them...as the pictures are incredibly better than I could ever take through my own lifes' journey....hope you enjoy the pictures as much as me.....
