Let's say you are in Spain..

And your best friend is in Morocco

Isn't it the solemn duty of this blog to bring you two together?

These rooms and I

Have been having this conversation

Over jugs of sangria and cups of mint tea

And we said

intricate detail...

 

The detail is so amazing in this space.  I cannot even imagine in person how beautiful it must be!  I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!  Today I am so excited to visit a little vintage fabric pop up shop.  I cannot wait to share my finds with you.  I will admit that fabrics are one of my weaknesses, that along with books and purses and shoes, and clothes, and side tables... okay so I have a few weaknesses but fabric is at the top of the list- I suppose it could be worse right!?

Best Friends

Is what you can call these room pairs

They are alike

But not exactly the same

They enjoy similar aesthetics

But have their idiosyncrasies

They complement each other

Yet have a distinct personality

Yes, 

Best friends they would be

If they were people :)

Warm and cozy, is what these rooms are. Comfortable, lived in, soft pillows and cushions; they invite you in with open arms.

Pink and Mauve. A hint of femininity. The idea of animated conversations over endless cups of tea and coffee. Shared laughter and secrets.

Rugged, sturdy and comfortable. These rooms mean business, have no extra frills, and they know that they look good!

Ah! A sense of repose and calm emanates from this pair. A night of deep sleep or a leisurely siesta during the day. Put-your-feet-up kind of rooms.

Quirkiness, the need to do-and-redo-your-own thing and experimentation is what inspired these rooms to be best friends

Elegant style and laid back luxury brings these two spaces together. The calm of indoors and the lightness of being outdoors complements each other

 

Hope you liked these best friend pairs

And, if you did

Just make sure you take the time out to say a big hello! to your best friend today :)

Dramatic windows..

 

This old cement factory converted into a home and office is amazing!  The windows do me in.  So so beautiful with the trees behind.  Can you imagine waking up to that?

Are you looking forward to the weekend?  We have many many plans here and I hope to get a few moments to enjoy the warm weather and keep up on my reading!  

Look for a Valentine inspired giveaway here on the blog tomorrow and so many great things are coming for next week on the blog as well as many new things in the shop.

As December Approaches..

...my wanderlust increases!

Not that it EVER abates

But the holiday season

Coupled with the cheer in the air

And the possibilities of vacation and travel

 Makes me hop skip, if only virtually for now

To lands far away.

I dropped into Spain this morning

And brought for you some cozy rooms

From one of my favorite mags

Elle

Ah those months when that fireplace would be lit up, and someone would be curled up on the couch, with one of those many books

 Love the zen and symmetry of this room

Mmm...such a warm bedroom! Love the idea of the painting behind the bed, though it won't be very convenient, right?

 Feels like a gentleman's bathroom this :)

 The charm of mismatched dining chairs..

What a lovely way to wake up, with sunlight streaming in!

Brilliant use of crates. So re-cr(e)atable! :D

 

Just so you know, I am lusting after that bed spread

That looks like an antique cloth on the wall. Or is it a painting?

You can never go wrong with pink and blue. Sure shot way to prettiness.
