Follow this link for a wonderful free e-magazine & a stroll through Paris~~

If you love French decor, language, architecture and the way of life in France. You will love this magazine. It is written in French, but the photos are so serene and beautiful. I honestly felt like I was strolling down the streets of Paris instead of sitting here in Florida in my jammies!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I will be going back to read it more!

Have a blessed day!

The Beauty & The Beast~Pottery Barn!

Don't you just love the merchandise that Pottery Barn sells! That's the beauty of it. The Beast: is the prices! I don't know about you, but being the thrifting/flea marketing type of gal that I am; I would rather repurpose something and give it new life!

I absolutely love the cotton draperies. Price: $29 to $59.  My idea: Lace tablecloth can blow in the breeze just as nice, and ALOT more inexpensively!

 
Frames: $16-$56.  My choice: Thrift store frame .50 and spray paint $2.00.



Rugs can be expensive even if purchased second hand. This one runs from $99-$699 depending on size.





I love, love, love these pillow covers! The colors are FAB! Price: $39-$59, for the cover alone! Anyone know a good seamstress?


Looks like I'll just keep dreaming of PB! Hey, did you know they offer free decorating classes? Check out the store nearest you, call them to get signed up! That's where I'll be headed!

After work this afternoon, I'm going to cuddle up and read my new Romantic Homes Mag and look over Ballard Design catalog!

That's all for now!

Something's Gotta Give......A few photos of the House


Didn't you just love the house in "Something's Gotta Give?"  I sure did and still do! I think the Living Area looks so serene and calming in the muted colors.

 
The study where Diane did all of her writing and crying! Nights spent at the keyboard with tears streaming down her face, wads of tissue strewn all the over floor! All that, over Jack!!  (been there,
done that!)


The absolutely beautiful dining room with the Ironstone collection, slipcovered chairs and beautiful seagrass rug.  Hmmm, I wonder if my little granddaughter would think this table is a big cookie, like she does grandmas?

The pool at night, beautiful reflections!


The kitchen where Diane and Jack had their pajama party ~ interrupted!


Hope you enjoyed the little tour!
