• ~ Boudoir’s Cry For Help~

  Once upon a time, (well, not so very long ago), a lovely hotel, cried out for help. They had an excellent staff…the cuisine was impeccable…their amenities were unsurpassed. All this was being offered to the public for a fantastic price.  And yet, they obviously needed something for their bookings had begun to fade. It was quite clear, from this designer’s viewpoint, the rooms (while wonderfully maintained) were dated and not in a good way. The traditional qualities of the suites, the lobby and [...]

• Tuesdays Share The Joy Posts

  Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan By now, most of you know that the design team here loves white china! It can be used in all types and styles of spaces…from formal to casual…from modern to victorian and everything in between. Even if a style request is not what you would do for yourself, there are always lessons to learn and challenges to win! And so, we offer yet, another example The modern touch begins when the square plates are used [...]

• ~Look At This~Look At That!~

  Welcome To: Tuesday’s This & That Game: Muse makes a statement which must include ONE letter A.  The next reader must include a statement which includes ONE letter B, (and this continues through the alphabet). If, there are more than 26 comments…the cycle continues but will begin anew with the statements having TWO letter A(s),  then the next will have TWO letter B(s) etc. The goal is to make the story fit the “lovely photo” (LOL). The shot is courtesy [...]

• Way ~ Back ~ When ~ Wednesday

  I take you back… To memories sweet… Of things remembered… In your sleep. Bring them now… To share the light… To smile of things… Oh so bright. Cradled deep… In hearts and souls….

• Fanciful Follies Friday ~ What If Machine

  YOU …. YES, YOU !!!! Have been captured… Don’t be alarmed… Stay Calm. For these robots mean you no harm… They exude kindness, chivalry and charm. They simply need a test subject, you see… Someone to travel in their “WHAT IF MACHINE”. They offer you a questionnaire… These highly evolved, and mannerly robots… Quirky mechanisms that care… And the first inquiry is: “What if you could live ONE day, in ANY career… What career would that be & why?” Consider [...]

• Tablescape And Trash To Treasure All In One

  Acres of hidden treasure… In boxes and bins… All holding hidden beauty… All latent~silent gems… Under piles amassed… A hoarder’s stash… Of would be~could be… And should have beens. The Muse gathered her coinage… And smartly thus… Bought a wondrous bounty… As to make pirates lust…. A silver teapot battered about… A bird whose wing was weak… Not secure or truly stout… Paper roses wrinkled and worn… Their edges thread tattered and torn… Potpourri whose scent had gone… Yes, the [...]

• ~The Cottage Awaits Spring~

  Here I sit. Out my cottage window is a winter wonderland of sorts…icy drapes, snuggle my evergreens.  Here I sit. I long for warmth on my face…I long to walk in my beloved woods. Here I sit. I yearn to open my cottage windows and doors…to let the breezes flow. I dream of hearing the screen doors squeak…a gentle hello as I pass to the porch. My mind is swirling with the wonderful designs playing about in my mind. Here I sit. [...]

• ~I Dream~

  I dream…yes, I dream of sounds; fish splashing, birds chirping, darting to and fro…I dream of the lake…the sound of our boat churning…the grandchildren’s laughter as they swim…All those lovely sounds. Then, I dream of scents. The lush aromas of lovely gardens that have my mark…of raw wood that has aged for decades…of rusty metal that sizzles in the summer sun. I dream of barbeques and fresh fruit…the scent of freshly mowed grass…of horse feed fresh from the silo. The [...]
