~Simply Beautiful~

The French doors in this beautiful foyer invite you to wander outside and view the gardens.

This bedroom is filled with character. Beadboard walls, weathered wood, and vintage fabrics and lighting add a rustic, yet feminine look and feel to the space.

A pretty place to sit and relax with a good book. I love the aged brick and climbing roses.

(right) The reflecting pool and lush greenery invite you in to this gorgeous courtyard. The multiple seating areas make this space not only beautiful, but functional as well.

          This kitchen is literally a breath of fresh air! The  vintage style French doors open up on two sides, adding a charming and expansive feel to this French, country kitchen.

(left) What a cozy, cottage kitchen… The weathered farm table serves as a center island and as a dining table. The color adds a nice contrast against the otherwise all white kitchen. The glass cabinets allow you to display pretty dishes and glassware. (right) Elegant, monogrammed linens add a lovely touch to any table setting.

  Stately Pillars greet you as you enter in to this magnificent garden, filled with beautiful arbors that are draped and overflowing with blooming flowers. A small pond completes this tranquil retreat.

  4. I also love the mirrors used as a headboard. I looked for years for a mirror large enough to do this. No luck....

  17. Hello Aimee'

    I have that same bedroom picture in my file of inspirational rooms... I did a close match to that room in a model home, I gave up beautiful mirrors I wish I had hung onto them.

    So many likes and not enough room to do them all in :)

    Thank you for sharing and reminding us of our favorite homes, and rooms.
    I really love the homemade kitchen table they pulled it off with the best euro charm.

    Come visit anytime :)
