Hello Lovelies! I won't intended to not make you wait too long, and without further ado, I will show you the timeless armchair, as seen by the magazines of www.cotemaison.fr. And put the image right here in this space. Where it belongs. ;-) But, as crazy as i am, I waited for my sweetheart for a whole 15 (!) minutes in the cold, cold, pouring rain, not conscious that even *I*, that always takes her daily vitamin C and carries a little piece of ginger in her pocket, will eventually get the flu! So here's my ginger tea, inspired... [Lire la suite]

Hello Lovelies! I really like the color combo in this house: This is Catherine's place, and you can visit it thoroughly here. Since I love white flowers, like the ones shown above, I love a quite dark background to befit them best. Here we have a touch of (dark) orange and other autumn colors. Love! enjoy! -Beautymist.

I have a much smaller window, but here is what I've done... Painted the sill white, added a cushion, and during summer days (ahem...) I can open the window... [Lire la suite]
