White & Green Gardens

Hello Everyone!  

Hope you're having a lovely week so far.  I haven't forgotten about all of you - or blogging - my mind has just been on other things lately and I have found it hard to get back to my computer on a regular basis.  However, I thought you might enjoy something that has been on my mind, which is the idea of an all white (and green) garden.  Take a look at some of these lovely examples and see what you think:

You know I'm a huge fan of trailing vines...

Gorgeous!

OK so there is a tiny bit of peach in there, but you get the idea.  :) 

I love the texture of baskets in this neutral palette...

Are you with me on this?  :)

Neutral Beauty

I have posted about neutral spaces before, so you probably know already how much I love them!  I find them so soothing, but also versatile if/when you want to change them up for seasonal colors...or just simply for a change of pace.  Here are a few of my recent faves.  You'll notice on a couple of these that the colors aren't strictly beiges and cremes; however, they still provide a calm backdrop that I thought fell within this category anyway.  See what you think!

OK so that one sofa is definitely not neutral, but it's still a very soothing, "quiet" color . :)

This & That

It's been a while since I posted some of my recent additions to my This & That pinterest board...so here you go!  :)

Black and White

Just a quick post today...I thought this black and white room was quite stunning and worth sharing!

Have a great day.  :)

Light And Airy Decorating

Hi Everyone!  


I hope your week is off to a good start.  Here is a random assortment of beautiful, light and airy spaces that are really appealing to me right now.  I'm sure it's a reflection of our recent beautiful weather -- inspiring me toward more casual, relaxing spaces that can survive the sand between my toes and provide a good spot for a large iced tea!  :)  


Enjoy...

What a unique floral arrangement!














Do I spy a petrified wood stool???

Red, White and Blue

This is our first Fourth of July back in the US after several years away, so I'm going to do it up right!  In the past the holiday wasn't particularly special to me, but now that we are back and my kids have *no* idea what the Fourth of July is, I feel compelled to show them what it's all about!  So following along with that patriotic tone, here are a few red, white and/or blue spaces, along with a few "All-American" things we'll be doing today!  

There will be (tame) fireworks.

Love this idea - how easy and is sure to be a huge hit.

Even an on-again, off-again vegetarian like me can appreciate a great, home made grilled burger today!

Enjoy your Fourth!
