Do you recall the warmth of the sun…
The gentle breezes…
The chirping of feathered friends?
Do you recall the sound of the water…
The bubbling brooks…
Or the swishing of the lake?
~Muse of Dreams~
As I sit here, nestled and warm, within my studio walls…I peer out onto several feet of freshly fallen snow. And no matter how much angst it has caused…one has to recognize the beauty it inheritantly possesses.
Why then, can I not look past what I see in the mirror today? Sunken cheeks, dark circles, pallid skin. I sigh… It is a resolute sigh, but not one of defeat. For I will rise beyond this moment… I will find that part of me which is not an outward beauty but that which lies encapsulated in my spirit.
So, for this Sunday, I shall cover the mirrors with muslin…Take out my pens…and draw The Muse my beloved sees…(after I turn back all the clocks and …and steal his glasses).
May each you find a Sunday filled with blessings and inspiration!
Love, The Muse

~One Little Closet To Rule Them All~
Oooops! Forgot to take a true BEFORE~. But close your eyes and imagine the closet without the rich blue…
Ok, that was easy enough! As you can see…the closet, all white, needed a serious design lift.
So, out came the paint brushes and the paint. In the Muse’s cottage, if you stand still, long enough you are apt to get painted (that is simply a legend…a fable~one that has some basis of truth). lol (more…)
~Her Chair Was Just Right~
Here is a little sitting area, at our home, ”The Painted Nest”. We use it mostly as a place to put on and take off our shoes.
The chair, a vintage flea market find for $2.00, was in bad shape visually, but quite sound, structurally. So, The Muse was quick to grab this treasure! (more…)
~At Times I Am A Flower~
At times I am a flower…
Singularly defined…
At times I am a flower…
Serendipitously designed.

~Design Dissection: Vignette~
Design Dissection:
Today let’s look at this table’s vignette. Almost all of us, at one time or another, have had an opportunity to create a buffet~or serving station.
What can you do, in order to avoid, the dreaded and ho~hum “runway” look, which entails mind numbing miles of flatness? (more…)
