Good afternoon! Busy morning today with all the tile/marble people, a meeting with my kitchen guy and the electrician to go over final lighting plan. When all is said and done, I like to come back home to go over my inspirational pictures and get new and fresh ideas as well as some much needed downtime after a busy day. I find that especially after the chaos of the holidays, I am looking for low key ways to have some alone time and just do something I rarely do, RELAX!
One thing I LOVE to do is go through my pictures/portfolio.online albums that I have been collecting for awhile now.....They really have a wonderful effect on me and are instantly able to calm and take me to another place. I call it my online therapy. Do you ever look at a picture and a certain emotion or feeling takes over you? Each of these beautiful pictures evokes a certain feeling in me. (All of them happy) They are each so beautiful for a different reason...see if you agree. Meanwhile, hope you enjoy the pictures! Also if you are liking what you see, please subscribe...once I have a healthy number of subscribers am going to start doing frequent giveaways from my home furnishings store...everything from candles, to books, to needlepoint pillows and much more. Happy day dreaming.... |
How beautiful is this? It is pure magic

Pure bliss, sitting at your bedroom window overlooking the Atlantic...dreamy! (check out the tub on the deck) Now that's what I would call a "Calgon take me away moment". |

Does relaxation get better than this? I know for me a day at a very quiet beach, with a great book, a few goodies to munch on and a blue sky against turquoise waters is just about as good as it gets.
