A gorgeous home tour to brighten up your Monday

I'm not always a fan of florals but I just had to share this one with you. The floral pattern used throughout this house is so beautiful.



I love the color coded book look but my books are never colorful enough.

Love the turquoise console

I would never think to put a brown quilt with these florals but I really like the look.

DELISH

I think this room is delicious perfection.

The details are just so great.

You name it...

it's all here and done beautifully.

The palette is not one I would have used before,

but I think the time has come.

This room changed my mind about a few things.

I feel it is soothing and warm,

yet not dark. 

And clearly,

there are no rules.

And I do dig the touches of turquoise in the mix of it.

The art is fabulous too.

This must be a girly girls place.

Ya' think?

How about you?

Beautiful Living : Casual Elegance

Remember the Davidsons? Well, here is their elegant living room adjacent to the fabulous wet bar. Turquoise and chocolate brown, sparkling mirrors and crystal lamps ... simply stunning! The Davidson's worked with Ryland Woodard, a Richmond based Interior Designer, who did an amazing job of transforming this space into an elegant room, yet casual enough to "live" in!

Turquoise Love

I love turquoise. In the spring and summer I fill my house with bright blues and yellows. It just makes me happy. (You could say I'm hooked, which is why I'm linking to Hooked on Fridays!)

So imagine my surprise and delight when Debbie of Ribbonwood Cottage sent me this wonderful old turquoise hand mixer! Why? Just because she knows I love this color.

Debbie wrote me a note saying, "I think blogging is all about giving...after you read someone's blog you begin to realize what they enjoy!"

Isn't that thoughtful? Thanks, Debbie! You made my day. I can't wait to find a special spot for it in my kitchen!

You can see more photos of my family room here. Do you have a color that makes you happy?

Colour baths

Well, I'm recouping from Alaska and have for you one last (but not least), guest post. This one is super fun and comes to you from Trudi of The Deco Detective - who really helped me out and supported me by spreading the word about my fund raising and marathon training. Thanks Trudi! And I'm with you - I would've loved the turquoise bathroom!

Hi, I'm Trudi aka The Deco Detective! I'm here today to help Ashley out while she's away running the marathon to cure lymphoma. I'm so honoured to be asked to do a guest post at Decorology, but most of all, I'm very impressed with Ashley. I think she's really brave to sign up for a marathon!

After running marathons, I can imagine that a beautiful, luxurious bathroom will feel like heaven to sore feet and beaten muscles. To relieve things a little for her, I've picked seven bathrooms for Ashley to choose between when she's finished running. There's one bathroom for each colour of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, indigo and violet:

I hope you find (at least) one bathroom you like, Ashley. I'm curious to know which one you'll choose! And Decorology readers: which one would you pick after running a marathon? I think I'd prefer the turquoise one to cool myself off - although me running a marathon would be a purely hypothetical situation...





Ashley - good luck with your running! We'll all cheer you on from the sidelines, even if we're not there in person.

My favorite inspiring interiors from my favorite blogs

It was other design blogs that inspired me to start a blog, but I've found that it keeps me so busy that I rarely have the time to visit the people who inspired me to do this in the first place. So, I hope to make these "favorite inspiring interiors from my favorite blogs," a monthly or weekly post to see what my friends are up to, and to share them with you guys!
