Life
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving,and tolerant of the weak. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. ~George Washington Carver
Last Day of Home Design...
Last Friday we finally finished up a lovely home for a customer. Our focus was on her bedrooms and bathrooms...pulling them together and making them beautiful! One of my favorite things was this Navajo woman drawing in her bathroom...we worked up a simple twiggy blossoming arrangement next to her in the master bath.
Love these African hides thrown across the floor and leather ottoman...they ground and warm this large master bedroom...
Sitting collection worked up at end of bed...a collection of special items from travels are displayed on this small table. May you enjoy your new home and relax just a little now!

A Birthday Celebration...
A summer celebration at an English farmhouse with a Texas Twist! Going to a dear friends house for a birthday party and leaving inspired and rejuvenated...and the urge to clean and rearrange my house as soon as I get home! Thank you for the lovely breakfast I feel loved. Above a fresh bouquet of beautiful summer sunflowers and wild purple sage from farmers market intermixed with some farmhouse goodness love it dearly!
This is a beautiful summer setting love the fresh strawberries and mint water being served out of large glass jar and ruby red pitcher...
Strawberries Romanoff served in blue and white english teacups...love mammy in the background watching over.
Bright yellow sunflowers and blue and white china so pretty! Everyone got their own ancient and wonderful cowbell to take home!
Beautiful large glass cloche on table...details details details
Spinach quiche, basil garlic sauted tomatoes, and the strawberries romanoff delicious and wonderful!
And here we are enjoying our delicious breakfast...I'm sorry girls I just had to bring my camera!
A quaint knook in her kitchen filled with mementos...
Love her hand painted black hutch in front of this brick wall surrounded by wonderful baskets, pitchforks, and special mementos from her travels and family....
Check out all of the little sheep tucked under this glass cloche...
This beautiful deer head is always decorated beautifully for each season and is so majestic overlooking her living area.
Roseanna's italian cream cake placed on my grandmother's china and covered tightly in this sweet glass dome...it is delicious anytime of the day even breakfast!
A backyard of beauty and perfection...a simple and small space used to the max.
Until next time....
