This little one is not sick but this is where she fell asleep on the couch with me , who needs stuffed animals when you can have the real thing. We obviously cursed our poor daughter by saying the other day that she has and doesn't get SICK, well she's sick I think strep , so off to the doc clinic as soon as it opens.

I went out early on my own to search for fabric and a side table for my family room to house on a lower shelf the printer. I came across this painting , I love it , "magic exists only in the moment" love that. I left it there.
I went to my favorite shop in the next city , I love it for inspiration, they do the best job at display , and have the nicest everything. This sofette in a beige and cream ticking is exactly what I had in mind for recovering my settee, it was nice to see a good example of what was in my mind.
I found this table in clearance buried under lots of other pieces , I knew it was perfect when I saw it .

But black on very dark floors is lost , so of course I painted it . Pretty .

Inspiration scrapbook.


The dream house.
A designated work room for me.
Beautiful woodwork.
Charming guestroom.
My dream cabana.




I really have a thing for painted floors.
This is a local house here , I would love a room like this a sun room of sorts.

Robert Downey Jr

Last January I was walking with my family to a Home design show on a very cold day in Toronto, when a man passed by and looked me right in the eye , a kind of look like a "caught" look(I find when walking in a big city no one makes eye contact, that was the dead give away ), I said to my husband "that was Robert Downey Jr" sure it was Chris, ha ha ha !
well I went right home to see if I was right , could he be in town shooting a film, well fast forward a year and yep , it sure seems to fit the timing , I knew it , I knew it , Funny!
