Isn't outdoor living the best? Reading, napping, dining...everything seems better outside. I'm excited that the nights are getting warm enough for a little outdoor yoga.
The renovation is still going on around here (don't ask), but I made it a point to clear out and reclaim what I call our "stone seating area" which is a relatively large semi-enclosed area. lbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17695624343882264332noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870714102473824539.post-23514705685154321052011-05-03T14:47:00.000-07:002011-09-26T17:18:08.174-07:00Rose Tarlow - What's new.

I've shared this image before, but it really caught my eye today as I was browsing around. Maybe it is because it is yet another beautiful sunny day here in Southern California and once again, the bluest of skies. It was the ideal temperature to have my cappuccino outside at our wood trestle table this morning -embraced by our immense stone fireplace with the sun filtering through the vineslbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17695624343882264332noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870714102473824539.post-46364815432660679222011-04-23T19:10:00.000-07:002011-09-26T17:22:21.143-07:00Linen, naturally.
Love the simple, casual design of this ottoman cover. Natural linen is a favorite of mine (surprise, surprise) and if there is a white slipcover somewhere in the mix, all the better. I never, ever tire of the combination. It is always fresh and appealing to me. (Of course, gorgeous floor-to-ceiling stone as a backdrop doesn't hurt either!)

Sigh. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a bath tub in the little pied–à–terre we are renovating but I am looking around and trying to find a spot for one.

I really like the clean lines of built-in sofas, particularly for indoor-outdoor spaces like this one in Mauritania. Unpretentious fabrics and simple tables give the tile floor center stage, making for a serene place to start the day or relax after a swim.

The X factor: That intangible "something" that makes a person, place or thing special or intriguing.
In design, restraint is often the most essential element in achieving the drama and intrigue we seek.
A bare wall, an uncluttered tabletop
--a stage for light and shadow to play out their dramatic roles.
