Stolen moments

I do not know about you, but sometimes I sneak in some stolen moments at a small cafe around the corner, which makes me feel like I am on vacation in France. I know, 
I am pushing it here...

via

I indulge in a delicious soy latte and unfold a magazine or two, just to browse and to get some inspirational juices flowing.
There is a seat across from me, so why don't you sit for a moment and have a peak?
Truthfully, I have no idea which magazines they are from, I guess Elle Decor, House and Home, House Beautiful?

Anyway, there is something about a white kitchen....




and patterned walls and a sofa with a pop of color....


And ... oh, should we try this perfume? It says here it's unisex (LOL), but I think there is no such thing, really?


And speaking of unisex.... this bedroom just appeals to me, very feminine/masculine



While this one is just girly, wouldn't you say?
And so happy!


Next magazine: Another gorgeous kitchen, in the city I adore??? Ohhhh...


Sorry, the light here.... this turned out pink, but its a lovely off white on white....


 Another glam bedroom! Three pillows....


But this one here is an killer amazing room! I absolutely love the moody feel of dark walls in a library, with the cozy seat.... and a silver ceiling? Get out! Sorry, a really bad photo, but you get the idea?


And this one? Can it get more elegant and fun? 
Turquoise, white and gold with a dash of red!!! 
J'adore!



Shhh, we are way to noisy, the patron over there gives us already the evil eye....
Are we done?
Let's just go home now and put to good use what we have learned here!!!

Au Revoir!

Springing ahead


Image

I have spring cleaning in my mind.... The sunshine gives me all the energy and for whatever reason I believe winter here has run it's meager course for this season. 
New York did not have much snow to begin with this winter, unfortunate ski resorts lost plenty of money, but I guess we experience some slow climate changes.


The garden in March


May it as it be, I will finally remove some pieces of decoration which have survived since Christmas and now need to move to be stored away. I crave flowers and fresh patterns, chocolate Easter bunnies are hopping all over the place in shops and I need to  breath fresh air.

After a long walk through the park on Saturday I could almost see the sprouting green and some willows sport already soft yellow green tips!


Spring brook


Thick winter blankets can be cleaned and stored away, I love to change pillows and wash slip covers.

I exchange aromatic wood scented candles to something fresh and airy...

My old recipe for letting spring in, is to open windows wide. The birds are singing, often early in the morning and I love to hear them.

Yesterday in our hedge to neighbor's garden.


We are checking the outdoor furniture, clean the cushions, and I look through catalogs to find plants and some planters for the deck!


Image


And nothing says spring louder than a pair of delicious flats...

So, let's dance into spring!

How divine

This is some divine seating if you ask me. By Designers Guild! In good company with Finn - Juhl's beautiful settee...Poeten!


Introducing the Julep sofa!


And browsing todays Wall Street Journal, there I found an extensive and fabulous article about 'The Rise Of The Personal'! Just how I always felt about decorating...
What has been analyzed for months in the blog world has reached now mainstream: UN- DECORATING is the new black
It looks pretty to me.
