Lovely Rooms & Accents For The Home
After a stressful week with sick kids and the whole bit, I intend to put my feet up this weekend and just relax. How I wish these rooms belonged to me. If you know me – you know my style. No words needed.
You also know my love for books. And how nervous I get if I don’t see books in a home. I love this room! And what an impact a black wall makes against all that white. Must try one day.
Before I sign off for the weekend, I just want to share 2 blog alerts with you. Attenzione!
I am a huge supporter of entrepreneurs (I have had a business myself) turning their dream into business (and I feel like a Mama bear for my friends). Here is another blog friend of mine who took the leap. The entertaining, smart and generous Sue with The Zhush just launched her first on-line store this week.
She is starting off small (or so she says!). Here you will find many lovely things for the home and yourself. I just purchased two friendship bling bracelets — one for me and one for a close girlfriend. I know that Sue is going to do very well. That is just part of who she is!
Lastly, I need to tell you about the most fantastic giveaway I have seen in blog land – EVER! And that is from no less than Joni with Cote De Texas. In my very early blog days (when I had zero, zip, nada followers), Joni took the time to both comment and send a couple of encouring e-mails to me. What a generous thing to do! I can’t say that I am part of Joni’s blog circle of friends, but I look up to her and that gesture I will never forget.
Back to Joni’s giveaway. And look closely. Joni with the brilliant company Julie Neill is giving away one of these two stunning chandeliers to a lucky winner this week.
The estimated retail price is around $3,800/each for these original, handmade pieces. Holy smoke! What a giveaway! A room that gets the company of one of these stunning pieces will only need a simple rug and a chair. That’s it. The chandelier makes the room. Go here to enter the giveaway.
With that I am signing off. Happy weekend to you all!

Sweets, I had no idea the littles were sick again..! If only I lived near you so that I could cook, deliver and generally give you all the TLC a tired mother needs! Hang on in there my darling!
The first picture is part of a house tour that I love, and you may remember that the horse photograph had me shaking at the knees with excitement. Still love this place and the ottoman – oh mon Dieu! I want one JUST like that one!!
(..after the kids grow up..!)
Zhushy Sue is a clever cookie isn’t she. I am SO proud of her for launching her store (dream!). AND to be able to keep it quiet from the blog community for so long. She’s a star!!
Now I too am signing off, to hang with the gang in the sofa for a little while before I head off to bed. Though the Tonsillitis is gone, I am still on penicillin and am so exhausted..! Where is my energy??
HUGS to you and the sick ones!

That second room just makes me happy. I love to see books adorning the walls/shelves in a room and that black wall really pops in there.

Hi my wonderful friend!I hope that your kids are ok now!! I do know that it is not funny if kids are sick!
Mon, are we going to live together in that house with the beautiful sitting room on your 1st picture?!! I love it oh so much!!
I am also a follower from the Zush! Very beautiful blog and a lovely blogger!
And yes I have seen that fantastic give away at Cote de Texas!! Fantastic isn’t it!!! But I don’t think that there will be a chance the chandelier will be shipped all the way to Belgium!
Have a nice healthy weekende my friend!

Hi Monika!
I’m back!! One week is like a lifetime in blog world…everything changes at lightening speed
It’s fun to catch up and I’m so glad I checked in with you.
My throat is starting to ache a bit as well…I hope that’s all it does. Maybe if I stare at that 1st image a little longer I can healed
Zhush is fab and it’s so exciting to see the movers and the shakers get out there and do their thing!
I hung my print and will mention it on Monday. I’ve gotten many compliments and my 9 year old even laughed and said “That’s cute
”
XOXO,
Kelly
