Busting with Joy


What is it about decorating with bust forms?  We seem to be crazy about them, and I think I understand why they make us so happy.  They add instant sophistication to any vignette or space, and they command your attention simply in virtue of being quirky and a little out of place.  These things were once reserved for museums - a place where we marvel at things foreign and rare and of historical importance.  Nowadays they're sitting atop your tables and nestled in your bookcases - a fab way to let your guests know just how special your home really is.

Like Bedroom, Like Living Room


These rooms are among my all time favourites in bedroom and living room decor.  And wouldn't you know it - they share a very similar aesthetic.  I'm crazy for the clean lines, soft cool tones, and the mix of modern / Victorian furniture and accessories.  Both rooms are very pretty, yet they have a touch of gothic influence which is characteristic of Victorian design.  Girly with an edge.  That's the way I roll, darling!

Don't hate me!

...I've been M.I.A. lately and I apologize!  Now that work has settled, I've won back some time for myself and I'm going to start posting again soon; but not before I tweak a few things around here.  Let's call it 'pre-Spring' cleaning, shall we?  Stay tuned!

Auld Lang Syne, My Dear

Wishing you all a beautiful 2013. I hope you listened to the Scottish tune, "Auld Lang Syne" which translates to "times gone by"; a song about remembering old friends as you embrace new beginnings. After all, it is your friends who help make each passing year one to remember. Happy New Year!
