Stylish & Serene

Simple refined style and serene southern charm can make for a lasting friendship.
I find that I am always drawn to simplicity and understated spaces with just a little element of surprise.


Flair with a bit of edge will always make my heart sing. I also believe every room should have something unexpected... take a look around your castle, do you need to simplify or add just a bit of flair?

    If you like simple and understated, I can see why you enjoyed the Real-Life French House. (Girl after my own heart.) Thanks for the comment! I love the tri-panel art with the horses in your top photo. Thanks for sharing, -susan

    Hello Girlfriend...

    Hope that you're having a super Sunday! Love all three of these photos but I have to tell you that the photo of that beautiful creamy white bedroom is simply divine!!! Maybe some day I'll do a bedroom makeover in all of the pretty creamy whites!!!

    I do know what you're saying about a room having an element of surprise...I hope that my home has that! I'm sure that I need to simplify a bit...but you know me, I'm that "more is better" kind of girl! Hehe!!!

    Enjoyed your Sunday post, my friend!
    Love ya,
    Chari
