A Room of Her Own - Oprah's Tea House

This is the room Oprah loves to escape to every chance she gets. She can read quietly while there, meditate, listen to music or socialize - all while enjoying her spectacular and beloved garden filled with thousands of roses, hydrangeas and dahlias. 

No matter where she is in the world, she knows this tea house is awaiting her arrival.  "It's my dream, having a place like this. Some people ask, 'Why do you need more space?' And I tell them, 'I need it to restore myself.'

While we may never have our own tea house, we can certainly dream!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Colorful Shoot of Gorgeous Bridal Gowns

I came upon this bridal shoot with Lydia Hearst modelling some beautiful designer wedding gowns against such artful backdrops that I just had to share.

She is a lover of flowers, so she was surrounded by lots of blooms (real and handmade) to enhance the scenes.   Some of the backdrops reminded me of some Matisse paintings, while others were designed to enhance the designer outfits.

 Very artistic.........hope you enjoy!

East Meets West in Long Island Home

This large and very beautiful Georgian-style Long Island home was designed by Christopher Maya for a Chinese family moving to America for the first time.

And what a welcome they would receive when stepping into this glorious chinoiserie foyer!  It's breathtakingly pretty with the fresh green of de Gournay papered walls.  I wouldn't want to leave the foyer!

The gallery.

I love the honeycomb design on the painted floor of the breakfast room.

Upstairs landing with the chinoiserie wallpaper from the foyer is the perfect spot to 

stop and take a breath and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.

The trellis overlays are painted in Benjamin Moore's 'Summer Shower'

and the ceiling is done in Benjamin Moore's 'Lookout Point'.

The master bedroom was designed for the couple to enjoy music, fireplace, reading spaces and relaxing.

The daughter's room done in beautiful shades of blue.
