After my blog vacation which is quite refreshing by the way, I was eager to do quite a few posts... but lo and behold all my bookmarked sites and draft posts have been deleted. And try as I may to recover them, I cannot. What's a girl to do? I've decided to start bookmarking sites again and practice some patience, which of course is quite hard to do.

Well, this very glamorous and orderly home office is what I wish my home office looks like. Maybe even if my computer has gone down if I have a beautiful place like this I wouldn't feel bad. Just look at that chair, oh it would be so comfy and wonderful to have a chair like that and all that glam surrounding you. I wouldn't have time to complain if I'm in there... love this home office space so much.

A Luxurious Bathroom with a Spectacular View

2012-01-15T04:53:00.000-08:00

Oh my... taking a bath in this luxurious bathroom must feel like heaven. To have a spectacular view as that as I while away the hours relaxing and maybe with a little glass of wine and a nice book at hand would be great. Have you noticed the lovely chandelier above attached to a very high wood ceiling? So lovely isn't it? I know I need to have some time to relax, even weeks before the holidays, I have been working so much...

Purple and Green Bedroom

2012-01-13T06:18:00.000-08:00

This purple and green bedroom is not really something I would immediately warm up to, not at first glance at least. But the more I look at it the more I get to like it. At first the wallpaper design is too much for me, but after noticing the white flooring and the big white mirror, the wallpaper looks lovelier in that surrounding. Hmmm... and the green dresser fits right in there too. I love the mess up look of this bedroom too, kinda like mine, always with some shoes around. Nice photo too and I love the vases and the flowers in them.

2011-11-24T04:03:00.000-08:00

I love this Fresh Bedroom, very clutter-free, and with a wonderful view... I love the simplicity of this bedroom, its immaculate white flooring gives a feeling of serene contentment and the cane bedside table and cane settee coupled with the little flowers adds a touch of natural beauty and of course a very comfy and inviting bed we all long in our resting sanctuary...

Charming Patio

2011-11-15T22:44:00.000-08:00

This is a charming outdoor space, a lovely patio and even others would call it a conservatory. I love the abundance of fresh flowers in there, they add so much beauty in this charming space. The white furniture that look so dainty are lovely in their simplicity. The chandeliers look divine hanging in there and even if there is ample light during the day because of the skylights the chandies' are still eyecatchers and at night they are sure to dazzle the occupants of this room with their bright lights and add elegance and glamour in this outdoor space. And the garden outside looks wonderful, so green, and refreshing. Do you even notice that there is a shelf above that displays some really interesting things? Oh I'd love to have a charming patio like this someday, a place to be when I want to be on my own, or have a quiet night with the hubby or a place to entertain some of my girl friends. Oh I just want one of this in my future.

Dreamy and Inviting Bedroom

2011-11-08T22:23:00.000-08:00

This is what a bedroom should look like if you ask me. Dreamy and Inviting. Comfy and relaxing. I love the soft white drapes, the wooden floors, and the exposed wooden beams that gives a rustic and warm feel on this inviting bedroom. Not many things cluttering this bedroom, just the necessary items you need to have a relaxing and rejuvenating sleep and rest. A comfy bed with clean white sheets, a couple of scented candles, a lovely dresser, a little mirror, and few flowers to add some more beauty.

I saw this image I think at Pinterest. Interesting ... not that I'm thinking about it. But how would it made you feel? What would you do?

Fabulous Black and White Bathroom

2011-11-04T06:10:00.000-07:00

I heart this fabulous black and white bathroom. Love the greys in there too and of course the pops of red that adds a touch of glam in this lovely black and white space. Isn't that wallpaper wonderful? Not too much of an eye-catcher but beautifully and artfully giving aesthetics to the background. I also love the big mirror, the black and white cabinet, the chandelier, the beautiful window treatments and of course the tub itself. Oh I could see myself relaxing or reading in that gorgeous white armchair while waiting for my tub to be filled and I can totally lose myself for hours soaking in that tub.

Happy Weekend everyone ♥

Fresh White and Pink Kitchen

2011-10-25T22:02:00.000-07:00

This is one fresh looking kitchen and the whiteness of it is simply wonderful. A dash of pink stools in the breakfast nook corner is a clever way to add fab, life and beauty to this kitchen. For me a nice kitchen would have huge windows and high ceilings like the ones in this kitchen to have a nice flowing energy and positive feel. I love the brightness and airiness of this space, a perfect spot to start a day whether reading the day's papers or watching news on the wall mounted tv or just enjoying a quiet time alone sipping coffee. And I love the wine cooler for it means that this space is not limited for morning breakfasts but can also be an entertainment place in the evenings.

A Lavender and White Dining Room

2011-10-19T00:38:00.000-07:00

I love the freshness of this lavender and white dining room. And it looks so chic too. The 1969 eyeball light fixture looks very interesting over the 1956 Eero Saarinen-designed pedestal table. And the chairs, oh the chairs are divine,they are 1920s Louis XV-style chairs from Sotheby’s in lavender leather from Libra Leather feature backs in a vintage floral-print vinyl. Owner and designer Doug Meyer painted the 1950s Heywood Wakefield chest purple to match and it did look fabulous in there. And don't you just love the sheer curtains that allows enough sunlight to come in?

A Romantic Eco-Style Bedroom

2011-10-11T23:00:00.000-07:00

I think I'd really enjoy staying in a romantic room like this... I love the rug, looks so dainty and delicate. I love the pops of pink, as you know by now, I am a girly-girly kind of gal. I am loving the beautiful flowers and the design on the storage space behind the headboard. Yup! those are storage spaces. Isn't it nice too that the identical lamps are not placed symmetrically as in most bedrooms? And the eco-style suits me fine too... love those tree stumps in there, they definitely add coziness and warmth in this romantic bedroom.

A Dramatic Kitchen Entry

2011-10-05T02:20:00.000-07:00

Hmmm... this kitchen is definitely gorgeous with its white and grey color palette and wide windows that supply enough natural light and airiness. But I don't think it will be as lovely without its dramatic kitchen entry of salvage yard antique posts. Gosh, I love this kitchen entry because it gives this kitchen a warm and even a rustic touch which I love in a kitchen. And that dish rack on the right side is antique too, dated 1865. I just love how antiques are mixed with modern and contemporary pieces. I also love the pulley lights and the chairs and of course the exposed wood beams above.

And since I'm into quotes these days... here's another one for us ladies ♥

Inviting Girly Bedroom

2011-09-30T23:57:00.000-07:00

Love how inviting this girly bedroom looks. It is perfect for a weekend of sleeping and relaxing. It looks so comfy, feminine, and dreamy. I love the quilt, the colors, and the lamps... and a vase of fresh flowers is a lovely addition in any bedroom. Have a wonderful day everyone, and here's a lovely quote for you ladies.

I heart this Feminine Home Office

2011-09-15T02:13:00.000-07:00

Oh I heart this lovely and very feminine Home Office. I love how orderly it is. I wonder if I'm actually the one using it everyday if I could maintain such an immaculate space, even with file organizers and all for I love papers and all sorts of stationery and I love writing on them although I sometimes leave them on the table and elsewhere plus I love books and magazines so much that I'm pretty sure they will also make their presence felt in my home office. Oh I love the pops of color here and the abundance of natural light and a view of a little garden. Don't you just love a pink trash can? Or that pink teapot?/thermos with a ready cup? And oh I love those boxes on the cabinet too, they are accents but very functional. The chair could be a little more comfy though.

A Simple Pretty Eclectic Kitchen

2011-09-04T03:20:00.000-07:00

I love this simple but pretty eclectic kitchen. Not too big but it has the illusion that is quite spacious because one wall is opened up by windows that invites natural light. I love the mix of wood, fabric, stainless, and glass in this kitchen. The retro-looking orange chairs and the flowers on the beautiful little vases on the window provide the needed liveliness in this otherwise very simple white kitchen. I also appreciate the orderliness of this kitchen, it seems that everything is in its proper place but it looks lived in, not at all staged or just for design. And I adore the wall mounted bio fireplace, it so cool and modern, not something you would expect in this simple kitchen but it works because it fits right in with the lamp and the kitchen cabinet doors. To me, this is such a simple and pretty kitchen.

A Simple French Bedroom

2011-08-26T03:12:00.000-07:00

I love this simple French Bedroom, so feminine and so fresh. I love the details on the bedframe and the white bedsheets that looks so fresh and immaculate. The settee and the dresser are perfect in here, simple yet oh so French. The wide window brings in so much natural light in the mornings and some cool fresh air in the evenings. Oh and I love the charming little heart on that window, it definitely adds a little romantic touch to this lovely French styled bedroom.

Just what I need... An Inviting Pink Bathroom

2011-08-11T22:46:00.000-07:00

This week has really been a very hectic one for me... a bit stressful and its a good thing the weekend is here. I need a day of real relaxation and rejuvenation... but before that a nice warm and soothing bath is a must tonight. This bathroom would be so perfect for that.

This bathroom is just right up my alley, a bit romantic, appeals to my feminine taste, with lots of natural light coming in and with a gorgeous pink painted tub. I love the floral curtain and the chair... plus the pink blossoms are such lovely accents in this rose/pink walled bathroom. And the checkered sage and cream flooring is just restrained fabulousity in this Inviting Pink Bathroom.

A Bright Country Kitchen

2011-08-01T02:07:00.001-07:00

Love this bright country kitchen ... it is so homey and inviting. I love the kitchen cabinets painted with a robin's egg color and distressed just the right way to create a more cozy feel. The kitchen backsplash adds a bit of drama and the bright yellow and white dishware are the perfect accent to this kitchen. The small kitchen table on the side gives a charming vibe with vases filled with lovely flowers and the two chairs gives a little modern and industrial touch in this bright country kitchen.

A Romantic Floral Living Room

2011-07-23T05:22:00.000-07:00

Everything in this lovely living room screams romance and coziness to me. I just love the floral motif in this room from the fabrics to the pillow designs to the gifts. The exposed unpainted wood on the wall and the wooden flooring gives an air of coziness plus the rug is just divine. The couch, chair and the lovely coffee table indicates that this space is for intimate rendezvous, no gathering of many people in here but probably just for two. Love the simplicity of this living room but though simple it immediately gives a feeling of warmth and romance.

A Charming and Inviting Kitchen

2011-07-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

This is one charming kitchen... I just love the colors in this kitchen and I think that is what makes it not only charming but also so inviting. From the yellow walls, blue painted floors, the pops of orange which by the way adds immediate cheerfulness in any space, and the abundant whites, this kitchen will be a happy place for any cook. I also love the table and chairs at the center, I actually love having tables and chairs in the kitchen because I love doing kitchen chores (like chopping and peeling some veggies) sitting down as opposed to standing up, I know I have some lazy bones in me. And besides, when I'm cooking I often have a book with me that I read while waiting for the food to cook, or a card, notebook or stationery that I'm writing something on so I need a table and a chair. And besides, a vase of fresh flowers will always be a welcome sight in my kitchen.

Living Room Glam

click on the image to enlarge

Oh I may be in a pink phase right now because as I look at my past posts they have a fair amount of pinks in them, and this one is not an exception. I am totally unconscious of it until this post...

Love this glamorous living room, okay I must admit the first thing that caught my eye is the lovely floor length curtain. I think it is so feminine, soft, and oh so gorgeous. Yes, I might just focus on one aspect or item in a room and can declare the entire room lovely because of that one single thing. Does it happen to you too? That you just adore one aspect of design or an accent in a room and fell madly in love with that space without considering the other elements or items. Ahhh... but this living room has so many other lovely elements, like the purple french settee, the two wide glass doors, and the mix of different textures and colors that make this glam living room so lovely.

A Gorgeous Dining Room

2011-06-22T01:48:00.000-07:00

I am in awe at the gorgeousness of this dining room, furnished minimally and simply but its total aesthetics is perfection to me. Love the floor length pink drapes in that wide and tall window that ushers in great natural light. Nice details on the fireplace and the ceilings. The chandelier is not imposing but an elegant touch to this gorgeous space. I find the cabinet in the corner divine, it is so lovely that you know that the treasures inside it are as lovely too. And I know you do like the mirror, but I love the 'Bon Appetit' sign more.

Romantic White Bedroom

2011-06-14T05:10:00.001-07:00

There's not much I can say about this bedroom. It is what it is, a romantic white bedroom. I love looking at it, something in this image that makes my heart flutters a bit. Maybe the lovely flowers scattered almost everywhere, maybe the wine, the simplicity of having an all-white bedroom, or the mattress on the floor filled with lots of pillows or the charm of those lighted candles. I love the blue bench/table, alone in there but definitely holds its own, I'm pretty sure you noticed it too.

A Charming Airy Open Kitchen

2011-06-08T01:51:00.001-07:00

This is a gorgeous open kitchen... Love the timber structure that somehow serves as a demarcation between the kitchen and the dining area. I love the concept of an open kitchen such as this because it allows the cook or whoever is busy in the kitchen to interact with the people in the dining area, it is very suitable especially if you are always entertaining guests or it could be a perfect space for family gathering. The floor looks great and so is the big window that invites so much light...and who wouldn't love those books orderly arranged in that bookshelf. I don't know about you, but books are a welcome sight in any room of my house. I love the idea of having a bench on one seating side of the long dining table, makes the space look casual, and the 3 mismatched chairs opposite is a charming touch. Plants... oh I love having plants indoors. And I love the sleek kitchen design of this charming airy open kitchen.

Charming and Cozy Living Room

2011-06-03T22:48:00.000-07:00

There are days when I just long to lounge around a lovely living room such as this. I find this living room very charming and cozy, and very inviting too... a good place to just laze away the hours probably chatting with girlfriends and having some snacks. Love the simplicity and the very feminine style of this space, the use of different fabrics and their lovely patterns is very pleasing. And who wouldn't like an abundance of natural light in their living room?
