Big Farm Table in Kitchen
I like this setup better than an island. This kitchen has plenty of counter space and really doesn't need one. I'm sure this big table doubles as one when needed.

My Front Door: Decorated
This is what I ended up with after fussing with a bow and not liking it anywhere on the wreath. It's real too.

Queen Elizabeth loses Best Friend
A little over a week ago, The Queen lost her oldest and best friend, Margaret Rhodes. Read the article here with many archival photos. I enjoyed seeing her during the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations this summer.

White Kitchen with An Oriental Rug
I have always liked an oriental rug on the kitchen floor. I have two in my own kitchen, one in front of the sink and the other at the entrance from the vestibule. This one is perfect in front of the stove. via

Bedroom with an Art Wall
So instead of a bedside table, this room has a bedbehind table. It is also interesting to see a free standing bed. It's all pretty wonderful, isn't it? via I spy inside solid shutters and outside louvered shutters too. Bright sun must be a problem here with glare to interfere with reading. I too have a bright sun, glare problem which I intend to deal with next year. I have decided old-fashioned roller shades will be fitted on all my windows if I can find them. Wish me luck. See you later. Enjoy this beautiful Sunday. xo

Two Inspiring Kitchens
I really like this sophisticated country kitchen.
This seems like a good idea but it would make me nervous having people watch me cook. Now if I were the sitter, watching someone else cook, this would be great.

I especially like it all. Actually the draperies are a little heavy for my taste but I'll take everything else. Happy Friday. xo via The ottoman is really fabulous, isn't it?

Hello December 2016
I have always been partial to mittens and this is my favorite pair. It is getting cold enough to wear them too. There is a small hole in one of the thumbs which I must repair before it gets any bigger. xo

Light Snow on the Rooftops in Bavaria
How very beautiful. I love these steep roofs with dormers. The dusting of snow makes them look like gingerbread houses. via

Screen Porch, The Best of Both Worlds
This is indeed, the best of both worlds. A screened in porch on one side and an open deck on the other. I choose the screened side because it's like being inside and outside at the same time. I don't like to bake in the sun. It's a fabulous setup, isn't it? xo via
