about face

I tend to feel that a fireplace (if it is not an eyesore) should be the focal point of a room. I know it greatly pained me to place my dining room table in front of my wood burning stove. So it is certainly against my intuition to place seating away from one...

I guess they are on wheels though so they could easily be twirled around.

immersed in bubbles

Well, it is here...that white stuff called snow. All I want to do is cozy up in a beautiful claw foot tub immersed in bubbles by a roaring fire. For the moment a cup of hot chamomile tea will just have to do!

simple sunday {mantles}

The season for gathering around the fireplace has begun and I love simple casual styling for the fireplace area. I am especially smitten with uncluttered mantles with just one perfectly casual leaning piece of art.

Also, loving the overall casual and cozy feeling of these rooms. All the perfect places to spend a relaxing Sunday!
