Dream Day

My dream day? Well, it comes in many forms but what immediately comes to mind is travel. I love to travel and see the world – to explore another place, another culture, another way of doing things. I always return with a fresh perspective and charged with creativity energy.

Today, the time I spent capturing the light in my garden sent me into a peaceful, meditative state -a bit of inside travel, you might say. A gentle breeze perfumed the air and with these intricate beauties beckoning me, I was on my way—

Love these images from Mark and Sally Bailey's

{simple home} -calm spaces for comfortable living.

The book was first published in 2009, but I somehow missed it. I just purchased it yesterday and have been immersed in its pages since. We share much of the same design philosophy and approach to living.

It's safe to say that anyone who enjoys l&l will love this book.

I'm also just learning of their first book {recycled home}
It apparently received many accolades as well including being named one of the "Top ten interior books available" by the editor of House and Garden. —Where have I been?

You can now find both books in the emporium

Simple Home: Calm Spaces for Comfortable Living

I'm off to order recycled home for myself.
Make it a great day!

"A space cannot be truly beautiful unless it functions in harmony with who we are. It's about pleasure: discovering what pleases us, creating an environment that will celebrate those qualities and sustain us." -Clodagh
