The Art of Arranging

Accessorizing walls can be a challenge. I am easily captivated by rooms that feature artwork in unique arrangements. Whether it's several large pieces, a grouping of prints or objects, or a mixture of different media, groupings can transform a bare wall into a masterpiece! Here are a few I'd like to recreate!!!

Cheers!

For those of you who know me well, know my nightly ritual is a glass of red wine. And for those of you that know me really well, know that it usually turns into two or three glasses! Often I am sipping away as I blog, (which explains the various typos). I love it when I come across a well designed home bar. Here are a few I thought were worth sharing.

Home Office

The task today is to clean and organize my office. I have to say I am not that unorganized but the thought of diving in head first into this project is a little overwhelming. My home office occupies only a 10' x 10' space and is ideally located between my kitchen and living room. But I am now wishing it was smaller!! My home office is like my purse...the bigger it is, the more useless stuff is in there! So to avoid the task at hand, I am blogging instead about petit home office spaces that are confined to a closet....love that concept. :)

For the Love of Lavender

I love the color of lavender....but I catch myself saying that about every other color too! The color purple is associated with nobility and royalty, so maybe I love it's regal quality. It has been a favorite for bedrooms, but over the years the color has migrated from the bedroom to occupy other living spaces. Here are some scrumptious rooms that feature the color lavender (and shades of purple too).
