My Cottage Dream House

source unknown

     Sometimes you find something and you just know you were meant to see it. That happened when I found this picture. When I was young I dreamed of having a home and decorating it to suite my taste. I could see in my mind the house, the fence and all the pretty flowers growing in my garden.

     I have always loved roses especially pink ones; the paler the better. I wouldn't pass up a rose of another colour but pink ones are my favourite. I have a large file of inspiration pictures and I keep finding things that I love. I always try to write what I love about a certain picture for future reference. 

     This past weekend Connie at Living Beautifully posted a picture of a gorgeous little cottage. All it said about the house was Fig Tree Cottage.

     So I googled it and found there were many Fig Tree Cottages but this one is in Australia and you can stay there. So this picture is now in my file.

My Blue Heaven

 

source unknown

     We have an attic in our home. We had the insulation installed and now we are just waiting to have the drywall done. I have been trying to figure out how to put the room to good use. We have to use some of it for storage. You know things like Christmas decorations, out of season clothes, lamps that I haven't found a home for as yet. I found this picture and I fell in love with it. Blue is my favourite colour. I love mahogany furniture and I have a beautiful writing desk that I need to refinish. I also have a lamp similar to the one on the desk. This is perfect inspiration for a room that I can call my own.

     I have a small wooden chair that fits my desk; perhaps I will paint it blue. I am going to move our loveseat from the living room to the attic so I will have a comfortable place to sit. I will blog, drink tea, daydream and maybe entertain my friends. It will be fun to make my dream come true.

Love Always,

Kim

Cat in a Box

     Do your cats like to be in a box? Chubby likes to be in a box. Any old box will do. It seems the smaller the better for him.

    
     As you can see this is a really small box. We came home one evening and found that he had taken the box off of the kitchen cabinets and put it where he wanted it, the floor. He was sitting in the box when we walked in.

     There is nothing like a happy cat. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Love Always,

Kim

     Happy Spring and have a wonderful Easter Weekend. Think Pink.

Love Always,

     I came across this gorgeous dining room last night while I was reading my emails. It was sent to my by Style at Home.

It looks like spring doesn't it? I wanted to share it with you. There are many other wonderful things at styleathome.com so just click here and take a look. Have a wonderful day!
