Comfy couches

These soft, lovely couches are so inviting and look so comfortable.  The fluffy pillows and relaxed fabrics really appeal to me.  Of course the adorable dog in picture 2 makes my heart melt!

Wintery mix

We are iced/snowed in again today and wishing I was somewhere like Bachelor Gulch in Colorado where we could at least have fun in this type of weather.

Bachelor Gulch is the centerpiece of Beaver Creek's village-to-village ski experience. More intimate and removed than its Beaver Creek or Arrowhead neighbors, Bachelor Gulch proved to be the perfect setting for a family-oriented ski resort that combines privacy with authentic Rocky Mountain luxury.  I love that you can "rent" a labrador for a day!

Decorating with light

This California family had specific ideas when they met architect Greg Johnson to design their brand new home.  They wanted an optimal floor plan and light streaming through every room.

I love the flooring through out the home and how the back walls of the kitchen cabinets are windows allowing light to pour in not only from the kitchen but the outside.  To see more lovely pictures of this home, go to Traditional Home.

Inspiring Blues and Pinks

Soft, hazy colors and natural textures give home a breezy elegance.

Homeowners and designers Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Andrew Corrie had the oak floors sanded and unfinished then sanded and whitewashed the pine-plank walls.  You'll never guess the name of their adorable whippet, Blue!
