STYLE FILES – Feminine Style At It’s Finest

Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I got inspired by some beautifully feminine rooms.  The soft fabrics, peaceful colors and elegant light fixtures create a warm and inviting feeling for spending quality time together.

INSPIRED MONDAYS : Mothers

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend? I’m back home after a long visit with my daughter, in Germany. She just had her first baby and it was such a delight to spend time with her and watch her blossom into a mother! She’s a natural! I couldn’t be more proud of all four of my girls and the way they’ve grown into such wonderful, caring young women.

As you may well know, Mother’s day is just around the corner, so I thought I would dedicate our inspiration for Monday to Moms – the hardest working ladies out there! In most cases, mothers make the house a home and everyone who lives there benefits! I love this quote and I’m pretty sure my kids feel like this too…

With all the new grandchildren in my life, I have come to the realization that I need to bring some comfort down to their level.  These floor pillows can be a great DIY project for even the newbies at the sewing machine.

STYLE FILES – Beautiful Bolds

Yesterday we talked about playing with colors and not being afraid of going bold. Whether you want to “go for it” by painting a whole room or simply starting with a piece of art, transform and energize your home with some COLOR!

This electric green is super energizing.  When using this type of intense color, keep the room balanced with a neutral white or cream to let the eye rest.
