Love White

Hi Everyone
 Happy Friday
Do you 
{Love}
to decorate with white
it is my go to color 
for everything
So excited to share with you another
  Pinterest 
board Friday

{Pinterest}
White is a great background neutral to design with
 most of my clients are afraid of white but 
once they see the end result they always 
{Love}
 how clean and peaceful white is in a room
the best part is you can always add  color with fun accessories

{Pinterest}
The colors in this bathroom are very elegant
The Carrera marble penny floor tiles with its blend of gray and white adds 
color and blends well with the Carrera marble surround on the tub and 
matching counter tops Because of the white background you eye sees the
 silver trash container and accessories as well as the amazing
vintage pine bench and pine frames 
all of these elements add to a calm and elegant bathroom design

{Pinterest}
A white kitchen is classic
{Love} 
to add
vintage sterling silver for a pretty punch of color
and vintage light fixtures  too


So elegant

{Pinterest}
Another way to add white to a room is to slipcover 
your heirloom furniture with white slip covers
 This gorgeous blanket was embroidered with a pretty A monogram initial
 and then used as a slip cover for a vintage chair
{Love}
 the little ruffle edge detail
{would you paint the floors white too}


This beautiful white backyard patio is filled with beauty
don't be afraid to decorate with white outside too
{Love} 
all of the details the fireplace and built in bbq
and all of the gorgeous flowers


These beautiful white iceberg roses are planted all over
our yard
they are always blooming and add
so much beauty to our home

Grateful to be back in time to celebrate
  Easter 


If you are decorating for
 Easter
last minute
too
 here are a few simple and quick ideas
{Love}
 to welcome family and friends 
with a pretty umbrella filled with flowers at the front door


A table set with colorful pansies
from the local nursery
placed in green spray painted baskets


If you have the time to dye Easter eggs
 these pink eggs are beautiful 
{Love}
 the idea of dyeing all the eggs the same color
{the lilacs are pretty too}


A quick and simple way to decorate
cut a few blooming branches
these pink buds are perfect in a vintage French white enamelware pitcher
and the pastel color palette is fresh and clean 


Instead of place cards {Love} the idea of daisy wreaths
 on the chairs so everyone knows where to sit
 too cute
How are you decorating for Easter

Happy Easter

Something Blue

Hi Everyone
 Happy Friday
Vacations are wonderful they really do refresh and renew the soul
but...
We are happy to be back in California
 there really is
 no place like home 
and sleeping in your own bed !!!

I am so excited to have been asked to start a Friday
review of my
 Pinterest boards
This week I am sharing with you my Wedding board
Being a romantic I absolutely  
{LOVE}
weddings 
I am always curious about all of the personal details  
and traditions 
You all know the wedding verse

"Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
 and Something blue"

When we got married
  My Something old was my Grandmothers Bible
 she carried it when she got married and my Mom did too
My Something new was small diamond earrings my handsome husband gave me on our wedding day
My Something borrowed were hair clips to hold my veil that came from my sister in law
My Something blue was my garter



What was your something blue ?

{Love}
 the idea of adding blue shoes or


a blue ribbon sash
even blue in the bouquet


All these pictures are from my Pinterest
to see more just go
 here

I will be sharing others boards with you every Friday


Now for the fun part

Please leave me a comment and let me know what your
Something Blue was at your wedding
