Dream Room

This living room is totally dreamy. The color palette, the accessories and lighting; it all comes together perfectly. It also has a spring feel to it, like a bouquet of flowers, don't you think?

Stephanie's Lovely Framing Tips

I will never give you a DIY that I don't swear by and this one is up there in my "I've done it" projects.

  The great thing about this look is that it's a creative way to showcase your favorite moments and frames while clearing space on shelves and table tops for other larger trinkets that you might have picked up along the way. 

It's hard to go wrong with this project since the art of it is to be as random as possible, and yet the amazing thing is that it'll look so right once you're done!  A little fun advice if I may; throw in some framed mirrors and hollow frames to the pictures!  Mixing and matching is key!  Once you've tried this, send us your picture, we'd love to see what you've created!

You can find more specific instructions here.

Random summer loveliness

I would add a few more items to the list above: read more chick-lit, swim more often in the pool, soak up some more rays ( I know, it's bad for your health...but great for the complexion) and eat more hamburgers fresh of the grill! What do you want more of this summer?

YSL Resort and a stunning table

I really like the the two outfits above. I would not ordinarily put such colors together but I must admit the result is quite spectacular!

The black and white ensemble below is so pretty and feminine....

My jaw hit the floor when I saw what Eddie Ross came up with after hunting for home accessories at places like Goodwill and thrift sores. He is so talented, what a star! C'est magnifique!

Have a wonderful weekend! I will be posting pictures of my new home office in the next few days. I'm no Eddie Ross but I am quite proud of the result....

Lovely Spaces

I wish I had a closet space that was this neat!

Yellow and pink

Not a usual match for me but I've been flashing on this vivid and happy color combination lately. I particularly like the last picture with the yellow canvas and pink lamp shade.

Pick me up

It's snowing here in Montreal today, so I thought I'd post some pick me up images below to put a smile on your face to beat the February blues! Going shopping at a local flea market and will let you know and post pictures of what I find!

Happy table

I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one’s inner life. And that too is a deed.

To dream a little...

I just love the first image! And the idea of placing candles along the front steps ( a bit tricky here in Canada!) but I like to dream a little....

I couldn't help but add the Oscar de la Renta window on Madison avenue to the lot....J'Adore!
