A little calm and serenity for your Thursday afternoon...

Ahh...mazing light!

One day I will have an oversized wall mirror...

great floors...

Quiet, beautiful moments...

We all could use some, to decompress, relax, and remember what it is all for.  I am tremendously grateful to all of my readers - it is you - your comments and support, that keep this going.  Have a wonderful weekend!

some beachy beauties from Completely Coastal...

oh my...to have that beach so close by...

The four below are from Providence Ltd. Design

so cool

fabulous kitchen.  who knew a kitchen could be so luxe?

The last three are from my friend Liz's blog(s) Chomp Chow Chew, and Special Delivery.  She's a fellow RISD illustration department grad.

I love visiting with her and her boyfriend because I know that, aside from catching up, I'm in for some great meals.  They always know the best restaurants and markets.

 Liz has an amazing color sense.  Isn't her palette a work of art in itself?

 mm....Real ramen...
