Happy Monday Morning!


I am in the comfort of my own home today. It’s Labor Day and a great day to enjoy being at home. Love having these three-day weekends. It’s a time to get caught up, re-organize at home, and to sneak in some shopping. I found some beautiful scarves at H&M. I can’t wait to wear them soon.


Time for a little home inspiration. Have you ever found a pin on Pinterest and could not find the source? Always irritating but I finally found the source for one of my favorite pins. Once I found it, it was like going down a rabbit hole. I could not leave the website and found many more articles to read.


I’m talking about Traditional Home Magazine and this glamorous 1970’s Toronto home that was “frenchified” by designer Colette van de Thillart.

Oh my… can I have the chairs….please? Now, these chairs are antique wood framed. Sighing… love, love, and the blue and white print. Need I say more?

Fresh flowers elevate any room.

The kitchen is very appealing as well. Love the valance and sink skirt. The pattern and dark colors help break up all the white.

Now I am normally a crystal chandelier kind of girl but this over-sized lantern by Vaughan has been thinking twice. Isn’t that elegant?

You guys know that I love this room. The paint color? But of course. Love the lilac paint color and creamy color hues of the room. I only dream of having a sitting area like this in my bedroom.

The sitting area in the room. A dream….

And this is the guest bedroom! How fantastic! I would love to be able to have a beautiful guest bedroom such as this! Love the bedspread. It’s by Gluckstein. 


And finally here is the designer herself. Is anyone else trying to figure out where to find this umbrella? Wow!
