In small doses

I don't think I would opt for yellow as a wall color. I think it tends to look too serious or too plain colonial when applied on walls, and it could also be too overpowering. But I'm loving the idea of using it as accent color. Because it's such a strong color it could make a big impact when used in beats and pieces throughout the house or maybe as a very bold wallpaper in a hallway, like in one of the images below.

Visions of Spring

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. ~Ruth Stout

Summer farewell

Now that beautiful summer days are officially long gone, especially after a week of constant rain in New York city, I thought it was only fair to show a few pretty summery homes.

An Inside Garden

Since I mentioned before that I'm slowly working on my deck during my spare time, I have been searching for rooms that inspire me. I'm looking to create a more relaxing and cozy outdoor space; a place where we can hang out for hours without getting our backs twisted. This room has incredibly beautiful details that are eye catching such as the gorgeous arched ceilings,
de Gournay wallpaper, the many orchids displayed throughout, the simple and unusual black and blue floor tiles and I can go on and on. The only thing I would bring with me into this room is lots of pillows for those back iron chairs, an ottoman to put up my feet, a few books and drinks.

Got no green thumb

It's time to spend more time outside and enjoy the "God blessed weather." But first I have to accommodate our deck in order to do that. Of course my dream of a flowery outdoor space has literally gone with the wind. Our deck is too windy for the delicate nature of flowering plants. So I'm looking into stronger plants that require less physical effort as well. Remember these Domino images? I can't overload our deck with anything like this but it's a great point of departure for inspiration.

What's a perfect day for you?

A bike ride around an old town, playing chess with your significant other and a nap in a room overlooking an olive grove.

Wouldn't that be considered a perfect day?

Outdoor living

The weather is predicted to be more than fabulous this weekend. I can't help but wish to own one of these fantastic outdoor spaces to enjoy with family and friends.

Spring = Flower

And love too. Spring is definitely the best season of all. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Nature in a room

Little things keep a room as refreshing and close to nature as an inside plant. I prefer big leafy plants, like these two pictures housing Fiddle Leaf Fig plants. How beautiful this plant is?
