summertime

I've not been posting too much the last few weeks, travel's made time online scarce. 

've finally had time today to check some blogs that I love and find a little more inspiration.

Here's an idea of what I'm thinking I'd like to go home to.

or somewhere restful like this

then wake up and enjoy the beach here

anyway, enjoy your summertime! 

Pink dreams

I've found my next vaycay destination.

this lake is legit pink!

Rose Lake, Senegal...

Here I Come!

Shelf life

Today's my first day back from a fabulous vacation and now it's time to clean.

My yard is a disaster and I've spent the morning digging up pitiful,fried little plants and trying to salvage them in the shade. Weeding and gardening and such has me an an organizational mood so allow me to indulge.

 love this atmospheric blue and coral-red together, the snakeskin table tops off a perfect look.

this slate blue backing frames the white and yellow so well

cute little nook shelf, love this idea

 

And, of course, amber interiors does a fab job with all the crisp fresh white in this built in.

gotta love some gold and seafoam, always a pretty combination

a little touch of weird never hurt anyone

I have a little bit of a problem.

I always build a plan for projects but as the process unfolds I get over excited and stray from the plan.

I've learned best from mistakes made that this is something to be avoided.

Continuity is key in all art.

I'm so happy to see how others can hold off on their additive quirk until the end of a project.

I think everyone should add a dash of their own brand of weird in a project.

It's the quirks that make things interesting and welcoming in my opinion. 

 The firearms and fish make things light and a bit laughable: I Love!

I may not be down with the gilded guy on the console but the pup photo is a success in my book.

 peep the ceiling

jaws

the end

 

cozy pants

I feel like poop today. 

I lost my voice the other day and now the only noise i have is a goose honk. All I want is to be in in a cuddly bed.

This may be as good a spot as any to blog from.

There's a little eye candy for entertainment and lots of pillows to find my one weird comfortable spot.

maybe a few more 'chachkis' tho to look at...like

and

i could also be here for the day

in some punjammies

sipping some really hot hot chocolate or lemon water

Or I could cuddle up for a good nap in this rainy day-appropriate bedroom

lookin' at you, kid...

 (maybe with a dark patina-ed bronze frame)

watching this grow

Hindi Zahra - Beautiful Tango

bijou

I don't know about you but this Thursday's been a slow day for me.

I needed a little punch of color and happy. Here's what perked up my attitude this afternoon...

 

and finally,

 

happy evening!!
