Recreating a bath on a Budget

As I am still gawking over the home I posted yesterday I though it would be fun to recreate the bath. I only assume it was the children's, but could easily see it working for a master also. What I liked most is that the bath was rather basic. No fancy marble and the like. It reminds me of my own that I would love to give a facelift to without spending too much.  I think adding a few of the above elements would make that possible. The pendant I featured lacks a bit of the gorgeous detailing, but is much cheaper than the original one from Restoration Hardware.

2. Mirror by Madegoods and can be ordered through Brooke.

4. Paint Benjamin Moore White Dove

A Beauty in Crestline {a local home}

Here's another local beauty that is currently on the market. I so do wish I had seen it furnished, but alas I did not, but even bare boned the home is gorgeous. The entertaining that could be done here would be quite astounding.

I honestly think I could be one brilliant chef in this kitchen...

My organizing skills could be brought to new heights in this office. It even has wrapping paper dispensers installed. Wowzers.

All the lighting is quite beautiful. Oh, and let's not forget the two limestone fireplaces.

I wonder if the mirror stays? I think I would work it into the contract if not.

I am sure any little girl would feel like a princess in this room...

KJ wants a black bedroom, if it looked like this then maybe I would say okay...

This bathroom I adore. I also think it would be easy to recreate...

I could live among the gardens and terraces. Divine to say the least.

*As always if you are interested in this home send me an email and I will get you in touch with the listing agent.

Indian Summer with Chance

As I admired Katie's new blog design by Gagabout I instantly fell in love with her post featuring Chance. It was so good I knew I had to see more. I have always loved Chance striped tees, I do have a slight addiction to stripes after all, but I had no idea they featured such beautiful imagery. Photos that evoke the feeling of wanting to be that girl, at that party, eat that wonderful meal, etc. makes me swoon to new heights. Chance happens to do this well, very well, so for today I want to be that girl exploring the countryside with a tall glass of lemonade taking in the wonders of the world.

On that note I also wouldn't mind being Marylynn Piotrowski, former model and shop owner, for a day or at the very least lounge in that very hammock. Does she not look so fresh faced, laid back, and chic?
