Mercy.
Now and then I stumble upon some rooms that make me drool. Right on my keyboard. I gaze at them. Study them. Covet them. Hate Love the people who live in them.
Then I ponder whether or not there is a take away idea or two from the photo that I could recreate. With no money.
I think about the feel of the room and what made it stand out to me as special. Then I picture my own house and ponder what is missing.
I adore this room — the red toile, the stripey sofa, the coral outdoor drapes, the funky hanging candle chandelier, the rug…so much to love. I miss my red toile (which is hiding under a blanket right now). Maybe I need to bring it back.
Happy red striped chairs. I am forever a fan of stripes. Red stripes are so youthful and fun.
Ahhh. More red.
GASP!
When I saw this photo I stopped dead in my tracks. I think I would love having a little pool house like that. Wouldn’t you?
But I don’t have a pool. Or palm trees. Do you? If so, I’m a wee bit jealous right now.

I loved every single one of those photos! They took my breath away. I am a lover of all things red too. I am in the process of making some red and white pillows for my back patio. However, I am working full time this summer, so the process is slooooow. Ugh.
Hope you are doing well!
Blessings,
Traci

Love your posts and look forward to spending a bit of time perusing it every week. As a designer that’s new to the blog scene, I can only aspire to inspire the way you do. If you have time, please feel free to visit mine as well…www.ohmigoshblog.blogspot.com. I would be honored. Have a wonderful evening all!
So fresh and pretty! I didn’t used to like the aqua and red color combination but I’ve grown to appreciate it and may even incorporate it into my home. Probably around the time that it goes way out of fashion. lol.
