A Room of Her Own
What a great room for a woman's retreat.........book-lined walls, a comfy sofa in a well lit reading corner, a nice-sized table for paperwork, crafts or sewing, pretty gingham and striped fabrics, a co-ordinating lamp shade, lots of extra seating to invite your friends in and finally, a soothing color scheme of green, pink and white.
The table under the window could easily be used as a desk to hold a computer and provide more work space, to hold an easel to paint or create, or perhaps even a small dining space.
But, then, it depends on how you look at things - sometimes a 'retreat' is just that.........no 'work' and used strictly for relaxation (like last week's room). Or, do you prefer a multi-purpose room tucked away for your use only?
This room works either way.
Have a great weekend!

Old World Charm in California
Good morning,
I awoke to more snow this morning.....can you believe it! However, it's still better than last year when we had snow well into May.
Look at this lovely Tudor home in California modelled after a dream Cotswold design.....and it looks like it's straight from England thanks to its designer, Linda Floyd of California (we follow one another on Pinterest!) I love her work.
And I love the details of this charming home.
Enjoy!

And I love the details of this charming home.
Enjoy!
Love the eyebrow window, the stone and slatework, slate roof and leaded glass windows.
Doesn't this turreted stairwell remind you of an old English home? And that touch of pink! Perfection!
This sunny conservatory is what caught my eye - Scalamandre fabrics, Savonnerie rug and 18th Century French console.
Love this kitchen, too - painted, distressed cabinets and French baker's table - a work of art in itself.
Notice the etched glass and Moroccan tiles.
Wood panelled library.
Powder room.
Upstairs hallway with chintz farbric, gingham bench cushion and antiques.
Beautiful toiles and chintz.
Cozy and inviting guest room.
Look at their beautiful back garden with the thatched roof!
