{Chocoholic: I Confess}



There is something that I have come to realize, and therefor must admit, to myself. I love rooms with dark details, walls or cabinetry. This is something I've been pushing to the back of my consciousness, since I am usually in favour of light and airy rooms. I know that I love bright spaces to live in, and I've never had a dark room in my home. That being said, my inspiration file has a quickly growing number of moody rooms ranging from bedrooms to kitchens. I am now going to explore this idea, will paint my Mr.'s office a delicious dark grey, and see how it feels to live with. After all, the proof is in the pudding!

{Warmth}




 As fall begins to cool the days and nights, leaves are tinged ever so slightly with gold and hot cups of tea begin to seduce me - I find myself craving the cocoon of warm spaces. A cozy little room with a fireplace, tucked up in a wool blanket and the soft glow of lamplight dancing on the walls.

{At First Blush}





So many shades to choose from, pink is a colour that can caress or energize. Subtle shades of blush are more in my realm, they play so nicely with neutrals giving them bit of softness. How ever you may feel about it, pink is a dynamic colour. I love pink because it makes my eyes alight on it, giving me a glimpse of a little girl twirling in her favorite pink dress.

{Flowers For Friday}



The colours are a bit washed out from the sun pouring through the windows, but the flowers at the farm are gorgeous. Have a lovely weekend!

{Good Enough To Eat}

 Maybe one of my favorite kitchens, I envision it being tucked away somewhere in Europe.


It's that magical shade of green that just sings, it is fresh and charming - one of my favorite colours. I  like green so much because it is a natural colour, which I think makes it more like a neutral. Yet it is decidedly more playful than taupe, it fairly winks at you. This particular shade of Laduree green is just delectable, making me dream of macaroons and transporting me to the streets of Paris.

{Coasting}

I know it's only Wednesday, but in my mind I'm just coasting until the weekend. The peonies are blooming now, they are such generous flowers. They are the darlings of my garden, I do dote on them so! Here's to looking forward to a sun soaked weekend for us all. Hold on to your hats lovelies, we're almost there.
