I've been dumbfounded, left speechless, and now I'm spellbound!

...those floors make my heart flutter


...this is the couch of my dreams


...perfectly imperfect in every way


...lookey there, I have those very Panton chairs, does that make me as cool as these people? (sadly, I fear not)



...the wallpaper, the rug, and that amazing chest...SWOON


... serenely beautiful, and I've always wanted that Ingo Maurer chandelier


...simple, lovely


...love the marble, love the wood table, but really, all I can think of is the constant giggling which that fine art photograph would elicit over cheerios, every morning, at my house...all I would hear would be numerous whispers of "boobies!"


...OMG...is that a swing in the dining room?


...why not, when the dining room is in the most incredible STABLE that there ever was...lucky horses


...peace and quiet


...those plates take it from functional to sublime


...light and shadow


...nothing quite like green after a rainfall


...it's a chalkboard, what else matters...actually those fabulous pull out drawers are painted in chalkboard paint as well, and labeled


...bookshelf lust
Okay, the coffee's brewing... as if I need anymore stimulation...
{by the way, a little bird we fondly call Mrs. Obvious, oh so kindly reminded me to check on this site, she resides at If The Lampshade Fits and she is ten shades of fabulous, no make that twelve. Anyway, If you haven't been there, go.now.shoo.scoot!}

Green with Envy


I totally swiped these images off another blog, and I am not ashamed. They were originally posted by Cassie over at the brilliant Roseland Greene, daily source for all things beautiful.
Back to the above two shots, really and truly, they make me swoon. Not just in a look-at-the pretty-snapshot-on-the-screen kind of way, uh uh, my blood pressure actually soars and I'm sure a brain scan would illicit similar results. Just gorgeous, la la love these!

...party perfect

...OMG the roller skates (pom poms anyone?)


...funny, posted this one before, but had come upon it elsewhere, obviously love her vision


...aaahhh, that blue!




...morning light and linen

...drama


...Mmmmm

Linked

I first saw this, which made me swoon...

it brought me here, which blew me away (his talent with the camera is UNREAL!)


...and there I saw these, which made me smile. That was a fortuitous game of follow the link!

Austin Idyll

















If my poor memory of high school french has not completely escaped me, then this is the home of Liz Lambert, hotelier extraordinaire. This tranquil abode looks like a perfect getaway to simply get away. What a beautiful, calm and hypnotic retreat.
