S hhhh….don’t tell me the weekend is over. I’m in denial (actually, it looks like I am in the tub!). Sometimes, you just aren’t ready to face a Monday! My 8 year old son was sick all weekend and I have a busy week ahead — I am feeling completely unprepared for a Monday. I’d love to sink down into a beautiful tub like that and pretend it is Friday night! Calgon take me away!
I saw another lovely place to escape to over at the blog of blogging friend Anna of Absolutely Beautiful Things. It happens to be a home she owns and rents out in Australia. It looks like such a beautiful, peaceful and happy place to spend some time. She has such a great knack for creating beauty. If only I was headed to Anna’s lovely place…then a Monday wouldn’t seem so bad at all.
{sigh}
Happy day to you all!
Meanwhile, I am looking like a prune so I need to get out of that tub and face the week.

Perhaps if we go back to sleep and dream really really hard, we can sleep Monday away? Okay, just a thought.
Beautiful way to start the day on a Monday morning. I love the bedroom with the statement lamps – it is so unusual to see lamps that are higher and more dramatic than the headboard, and I love it.
Hope you have a lovely week!
I definitely understand not wanting to face Monday! I snuggled low under our big down comforter while Hubby got ready for work this morning, not wanting to get out and face the cold. Alas, I had to get up. At least once Monday is done there isn’t another one for six days. Love the beautiful pictures…as usual!
This absolutely seems to be a real resting place. Loved it!
Hope you have a good day.
Love Elzie
Happy Monday! I think my bed with the thick white down comforter is calling my name! Love the blog you have shared with us. Anna definitely has a lovely and cozy home.
Have a fabulous week,
Jen
I know how you feel! Argh……
The picture with the chair and armoire speaks to me. Now I have to figure out exactly why so I can bring that corner to my house

I didn’t feel like facing today either, but I am up and running now. It is very cold here, just want a sunny holiday now!!
Love the post…the bed looks very inviting
May you tap into that source of energy and inspiration. Of course you will; you already have. Hope that your little guy is back on his feet and feeling a whole lot better.
Seriously. Is it Monday. I’m already waiting for Friday. I enjoy you site sooo much. You are so talented!

Hi Melissa I know what you mean about Mondays!!!! My Mondays are power/clean house days. I clean house and work on the house as FAST as possible so the rest of the week after work I can home home and sew, decorate or work on something fun! I put fast music on and literally do as much, as fast as I can. My goal is to get to things I want to do. So house here I come!!!!
Blessings,
Debbie
This would be a perfect time for the childhood concept of a “do over”.
Absolutely love the pictures- I’m so into “white” rooms right now- and love the stack of hats on the dresser- kind of calls to me :}
I would love to have stayed in bed today- I was up and on the road at 4am- yikes-
Oh how I would love to be in that tub too
I’m currently trying to talk myself into going for a swim before work. Gack. I need the exercise, but sitting in my robe an hour longer amongst all this fall decor seems so much better. I blame you *wink*
Have a great day!
Melissa,
You share the neatest things! I love that vase pillow in the bed…now to hunt it down somewhere! ;o)
you’re killing me {big desert grin here}
hubs and i are redoing the master (sanctuary) bedroom….among everything else we’re doing to go from the 2 of us to adding 5 more to the homefront. loving it.
blessings…lylah
So sorry to hear about your son’s illness over the weekend — hope he’s feeling much better, and you as well
Monday will be over soon, and certain the rest of the week will be lovely . . .

I had a completely relaxing weekend. I was wicked sick, so I made that my excuse to relax. I went to the apple cider mill with my friends, went shopping for myself (again) with mC, and spent the entire day Sunday sitting at my computer playing a game. It felt good.
Ready to face the Monday or not, here it is. I’m currently at work, wondering why the day is going by so slowly when all I want to do is go home and read my book.
Very pretty, the bedroom is wonderful!
Melissa ~ I hear {prune} is the new {peaches & cream}….I have a crazy week too….and all I want to do is carve pumpkins and eat candy corn…not happening though…at least not today….but one can always dream.
Thanks for sharing that the beautiful photos…lovely home!
Smiles ~ Ramona
Oh my goodness! I think she should invite us there for a retreat – then we can skip Monday altogether and focus on the beauty that surrounds us – or would be surrounding us.
i seem to feel like that every monday lol!
Sarah
