We have slipped away up to the lake house to check on the progress of the new siding that is going up.....long overdue...our neighbors will be relieved to not be looking at our peeling paint any longer...
With the help of my sisters this summer... I started redecorating the master bedroom up here.....decided on grays and a touch of red and splash of black...with a nod to Paris.....remembering our romantic 25th anniversary trip (10 years ago!)...
There really wasn't much to it....change of curtains to a silvery gray, new bedspread from TJ Maxx and a few great pillows! The gray flannel ones and the ribbon one are from Home Goods. The other is a Jeanne D'Arc Living item....The accessories, meaningful small antiques and souvenirs of our trip are what make me think of our special time in Paris...
Pillows can make all the difference in the world....these are in the guest room....the lacy one came from Marshalls, the crewel work on the cream colored one was hand done and the floral one was made from a piece of bark cloth.
It's very, very quiet up here....the boats and floats have all been pulled out of the lake. People have left their summer homes and gone back to their school and workday schedules....
In a few weeks we will be closing up our place too...draining the water from the pipes, stacking the outdoor furniture on the porch and getting things ready for the long Adirondack winter...
But for now...it's peaceful and calm here...the sun shone on the gold and red leaves this afternoon as we traveled through the mountains......hopefully I will have a few pretty pictures to share.
I think I will sleep well tonight and hope you do too!
