Sweet Dreaming


One of my projects that I'm working on is a bedroom.  


This is a picture of it now....I should've taken pic with the shutters open but......On the other side of these windows to the east is a beautiful court yard.  There is a set of windows on the other side of those lamps that look out at a beautiful pond.  I want the bedroom to be calming and not fussy....using very minimal color.....I have been using a blue paint for a few projects...A good friend shared it with me a few years ago and I just can't do a house without it....  



I ran across these pictures on a blog House of Turquoise. I loved the black trim with the blue color.  The room has an elegant punch!!  I'm a bit gun shy of painting the trim black especially since the current room has beautiful off white plantation shutters.   

So, I'm going to improvise a bit and try to get this same look.  I've decided to paint the room the soft blue and use a Ralph Lauren Black 4 Poster bed and accessorize very simply with creams, beige, and soft blue......I'm thinking I may paint the master bath the same soft blue.....

I'll keep you posted on this room as it progresses!!!  I'm so excited!!!

CLASSIC STYLE



I have loved Gwyneth Paltrow's Style for some time.  She is a classic beauty.  It seems to be effortless and timeless.  She is an American gem with so much talent and class.  I first fell in love with her style when she acted in Great Expectations, The Royal Tenenbaums and definitely loved her clothes and jewelry in  A Perfect Murder.  She is a mother and the wife of the amazing Chris Martin of Cold Play, an Author of a couple of books and The writer of the blog www.goop.com.

She also extends her easy style into her homes.  Each space is a lovely classic style!

NEW PROJECT BREWING

I've got a new project....It's all in the planning stages 
Keeping me up at night decorating in my HEAD.....
One of the projects is a Master Closet and Bath....Its a bit dated and needs a little TLC.  The large closet has a darling little dressing table built in it.  I think it could just become adorable with maybe painting the desk a pretty shade....Of course a pretty little mirror.  More than anything make it a personal cozy place to get dressed....





I love all these pictures stuck in the mirror.  Reminds me of my grandmothers mirror with all the grandchildren.











Tory Burch's dressing room...I love her vanity with all the mirrors and pics
