A Pretty in Dusty Rose Apartment in Sweden

If you know me, then you know why I am drooling over this pretty apartment.  It has a number of my favorite elements-color, contrasts, books, plants, and lots of natural light. It's the prefect pick to showcase today on this very dreary, rainy, and overcast day. That dusty rose color throughout is just perfect! Enjoy...

Cozy Up With A Book On Those Snowed In Days

We are snow in the forecast here in the South and it's created quite a frenzy!  Most people are excitedly waiting in anticipation since it's been a few years since we've had snow. Schools are letting out early today, and I am sure there will be long lines in the supermarket as people make a mad dash to the aisles for those basic necessities like milk and bread. It's almost hilarious how crazy it gets around here in anticipation of snow. If it does snow, I would love to curl up with my favorite blanket and a good book, so today's post is all about the books. Books are a big deal around here, just check out these posts, HERE, and HERE.

Quiet Elegance in Seattle

This light filled apartment in Seattle is very easy on the eyes. There is a quiet elegance about each space and it is clear that each object was meticulously placed. There is a sense of calm as one goes from room to room despite the evidence that the interior designer who lives there, Terry Hunziker is clearly a collector, there is a sense of order to how everything in each space is artfully arranged.

I think most of us are either covered in snow and freezing or if we don't have snow, we're still freezing. Yikes! Stay warm folks. xx
