There is nothing more inspiring then a window facing either east or west in any home, because the light affects throughout the room give it not only a warm glow but a romantic feel as well. Check out some of my favorites
Exactly! Like I said before I wish I could have the luxury to change my interior decor every time I saw something I liked, but since that is impossible or unrealistic, I can only post my favorites on my blog to pay homage to the creative individuals with the perfect vision to make it all come together.
What I love is….
Airy feel to the small dining room
Burst of orange to start your day
See through blinds to let the daylight in
inspiring nick nacks around the bed
The perfect gathering place for afternoon tea
Warming writer's corner
Freestanding bathroom pieces
One of my favorite rooms in a house is the dining room. I enjoy, while entertaining, to sit around the table and exchange conversation, share a few laughters and ponder over childhood memories. This to me is the perfect time with family and friends.
So, while I help a friend find the perfect theme for her dining room renovation, I came across some interesting decor which I would love to incorporate into my own home.
Since I spend all my spare time writing, whether it be my blog or the finishing touches of my book, I am always looking for ways to get inspired. Normally or until now, my desk is in front of a window overlooking the ocean, but lately I have considered creating an inspirational wall and having my desk face that wall.
Here is one I think would be interesting to duplicate with minor changes. The art pieces or photographs would be of Paris from the 19th century, I would incorporate my favorite quotes in frames along the edge of the desk and the chair would be reclining comfy.
Wow, that was a tough first week, getting back into the swing of things after the holiday celebrations. But for some strange reason once I packed my christmas tree away on Sunday, my brain kicked into gear and I began outlining what I foresee the new year would be like in my life or household.
One thingI realized is thatI haven’t talked much about interior decor. I guess since I am always wanting to change my decor around, I decided it was best to stop looking for a while. But the urge to redecorate is back and I can’t help but look for options once again.
Here are some ideas I found here, which I couldn’t help but fall in love with. I know there is a bit of a safari feel to my latest decor love, but I think it’s the exotic feel to the rooms that captured my interest the most.
What an amazing set up
love the day bed feel to the couch
richly exotic
love the feel to this bathroom
a great brainstorming room for my writings
bold and yet inviting dinning room
I just can’t snap out of it yet, but instead of dwelling, I decided to just focus on what makes me smile. But yesterday while I was recuperating from the strenuous Sunday travel back to the U.S., I had to make a run to a mall for a split second in between picking up my dog and doing laundry just to replace a broken kitchen tool.
So, as I walked through Crate&Barrel, one of my favorite stores, in search of my the broken utensil I needed to replace, I came to a screeching halt when I saw this kitchen table/center island so neatly arranged on their showroom floor. I smiled because it reminded me of a similar table in a tea room (Salon de The) in Paris. I think that five minutes I spent staring at the table, made up for my sad state on Monday.

First weekend of Fall and we, meaning San Francisco, experienced our first rain-ish of weather the season. You know what? I didn’t mind it a bit, because it gave me the chance to stay indoors and clean up and believe it or not get inspired about my writings.
This time of year I tend to shift my attention to warm and cozy indoor places and daydream about Parisian lifestyles. So, of course, it’s no wonder I cam across some visuals here, which remind me of just that.
