"Pillow Talk"...sea grass-cotton-silk


Mixing textures is one thing I love to do when possible. Mixing textures such as sea grass, organic cotton and raw silk gives such an elegant touch! This Nautical-Modern look is refreshing and so much in fashion, I want to say it's timeless...
happy friday

"Monograming"...chair covers


























Monogramming...the chair covers is a very good way of getting a new look, without buying new furniture...{recycle}. With that being said, when making slip covers yourself or a professional seamstress, design it fun, simple and tailored!

Here is one of my favorite shabby chic project to do on a weekend. Take a picture frame apart, take matting and recover with the fabric of your choice...The finished frame will definitely look customized. Oh, and paint walls in red...don't be afraid of color.

"Architectural Jewels"...


Here is some of my favorite Savannah's architectural jewels. Love green the upside down corbels holding the white ornate balcony. The city street plumbing is all being updated, so there's a lot of construction going around.

This image is a combination of Moroccan style architecture mixed with a Gothic flower circles. I thought it was very unique.





This house somehow reminds me of the White House. Made with some coquina stone, looks impressive in its simplicity.

This brick house has been preserve to its best. Love the way Bay window dominates the middle of the building. Most houses have plantation shutters which can be found in so many different colors. Every house and buildings needs to have permission from its town Association in order to keep and preserve the heritage.
Indeed, Savannah is a beautiful city to visit! more to come

"Victorian Style"...


Wow, back from vacation feels weird sometimes. You don't know if you are happy to be back or not. Anyways, so vacationing in the Mid-West and the South was quite an experience. My favorite city was Savannah, Georgia. This image reminds me of the old city. The fresh white linens, against very old furnishings and lots of layers of pillows. A city indeed worth to visit and investigate the beauty of the architecture and gardens.
Buen Dia!

"The Perfect Lake House"...















Off on vacation in North West Arkansas. We were invited to visit the gorgeous and perfect Lake House were Steve and Barbie live. The 500 or more miles of wide open space lake view is just breath taking. The first image is their 3 story house with all the comforts you can think off. Next, our ride took us to caves and very natural spaces. Third, the girls are just relaxing! Last, there were the two shitzoo's who were adorable.
More to come!
