Rooms That Inspire

Memorable spaces, like memorable people, have distinct personalities.
"Personality" means the overall statement or the feelings it evokes when you enter, what is being said about the people who live there.

Not a specific style, but highly individual . . .


One can just hear the heart beat of rooms such as these . . . Do you feel inspired yet?

    Re the rooms, they are very inspirational! Particularly love the simplicity of the 2nd space....dog and all.

I could not leave a comment with my old computer.....and I am not sure why. Sasha told me to stop by and I have and keep forgetting to tell her to let you know. I think I may have your e-mail adddress any way! I need to check in all those fowards for it. BTW, your blog is very nice! I have been checking it out! Rose

  11. Beautiful pictures! I worked with a client once who had a curved ceiling just like that in her kitchen. The entire thing was brick! I didn't even know you could do that! It was a little creepy, like you kept expecting bricks to fall on your head.

  19. * Am going to bed soon (Jim's in Boston tonight)& wanted to say g'nite to the "BIRTHDAY GIRL w/ all the GOOD NEWS"!!!

    Am sooo happy that today was sooo WUNNNNAFUL & full of "good news", Vicky!!! Of all the sweethearts around blogland, you rank AT THE T*O*P!!!

    PICASSO started the painting (guess I should say "REpainting"!) job in our bedroom today (stone mason starts on the FP wall next week~ Isn't YOUR stone guy starting this week too???)~~~~ ANYHOOOOO, can't WAIT to see how it all ends up!!! If someone had told me, "waaay back WHEN", that I would get T-H-I-S excited (& always DO!) about having painting done, I would have thought they were CRAZY or on DRUGS or SOMETHING! Of course, I AM a child of the late 60's!!! Grins~)...

    Sleep well, sweet birthday girl!!!

    Hugs from Jim, "Belle" and OF COURSE, MOI !!!

  24. Thanks linda, you are too sweet. My stone is on the way, but not here yet. I also have a garage full of hard wood flooring... all work and no play makes for a dull girl so one thing at a time. I can not wait to see what you do with your project. You are one of the best designer I know. It will be wonderful I am sure of that.
