My Secret Weekend Escape

I loved this photo of Venice so much I kept it on the computer screen saver for a while. It is so quaint and romatic. I can imagine this room featured below, hidden somewhere in those gorgeous houses. It looks like is a collection of various tenants treasures, each person layering their own personality to make a masterpiece.


I can only admire this room, that Beach Bungalow just posted, as a piece of art. There is so much to love about it...the combination of grand wall art and classic furniture is superb. That chaise is gorgeous. The sense that is has been 'thrown' together by one who is not trying too hard is refreshing. I really enjoy a room not looking a little 'lived in' and comfortable while still carrying a sense of strong style.

Hiliary Thomas has to be the most beautiful designer I know. I SOOO want to be this clever! Check out those lamps...the cushions....that green lounge!!! When Shelter posted a pic of her work this morning I just had to revisit her website to be inspired all over again. I think these photos are totally amazing. I personally love to work with green and pink, so these colour schemes are just up my alley. And doesn't she use colour so well!
