Twins...

 

I just love this look and the headboards are pretty much amazing!  I love the idea of a room big enough to hold a pair of twin beds with a single table between.  Our next home will have one of these for visitors, can't you just see sweet little grand children sleeping in a pair.

Also a big Thank You to CountryLiving.com for asking me what I think about breaking the color rules!

Living outside..

I am sure we are all waiting with baited breath for those long summer days in the warm air where we can just sit around and take it all in.  Things are no different here, we are getting mentally prepared for the slow down of summer.  This looks like the perfect place to take it easy and spend long evenings with family and friends.

Late summer picnic

 

So we made it to the picnic last weekend.  It was beautiful out in the field, a little prickly when you were sitting down but still beautiful.  I always want to do things like this but never manage to get out there so it was really fun.  We had home made quiche, fruit, bread and cheese.  

I fell in love with the wild flowers, the bushes were taller than me, which I thought was super cool.  

I also want to give a big shout out to Andrea at The French Basketeer to say THANK YOU for the lovely bag!  It held our picnic blankets, our quiche and other goodies perfectly.  (I also used it at the store before we left to buy all of the goodies).

Simply relaxed...

 

This room is all about texture.  Clean and white with just that little added grey. 

Cool and relaxing in this late summer heat!
