Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

I've been second guessing some decisions on the new build.  Then I was reminded of this quote {thanks to design*sponge}:

When in doubt don't add, take away.  Simplify, don't over ornament.  I think the spaces below are wonderfully inviting.  Check out this window seat & fireplace.

{ looks like a soft spot to land }

I love this sophisticated landscaping:

{ concrete treads & boxwood risers }

And how about this spot to soak in with a good book?

{blissful outdoor bath }

And this??  

{ yes please where do I sign up }

Yes, Leonardo... I do believe you are on to something.

Til next time, blogland....

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Yesterday was my birthday & in light of this I thought I'd share this Audrey Hepburn quote with you:

Self reliance AND being willing to lend a hand to others are two qualities I've always admired in others.  This year I hope to become better at both.
