Cleaning Day

Today is the perfect day to do all the cleaning chores I've been putting off. All the windows are open and wonderful breezes are blowing inside. I slept like a log last night and feel energized for some serious housework. See you later. xo

A Heavenly Home and Garden Tour in Belgium

A Heavenly Home and Garden in Belgium Exploring this estate in the Belgian countryside is like looking through a kaleidoscope: Every turn brings a transformation.

The property’s 17th-century dovecote was once used as an observation post during the Dutch Revolt.

I don't want to spoil your tour with any more photos before you view the entire slideshow. I love the simplicity of the interior furnishings that allow the architecture be the star of the show.

Read the accompanying article from Architectural Digest here.

I hope

you remembered to count the sheep resting by the river.

Lovely Kitchen with A Dog on The Counter
