Whether in a house or in an apartment, this is a lovely room. Full of light and interest and imagination.

There are things that a person just can't say. But they need to be said. Dear Diary ... this is where I am going to say whatever I feel like saying.
This is where I get to say anything I feel like saying and you get to agree with me.
We will also share stories and chocolate if you have any.
Naps are also encouraged, if shopping is out of the question.

White & Green
It is Summer where I live and I am really drawn to these light rooms with just a touch of cool green. Even on grey winter day, this could cheer a person up.

Dear Seal
Yes , you have a lovely voice.
But I have to say .... I think you are a total a**.
You were married 7 years and have 4 children.
When asked what went wrong .. you said ... "and then you grow apart..."
Sorry .. I have been married a lot longer than that and guess what ... you don't "just grow apart" ..
Explain that one to those children of yours.
You might have grown apart, but IT doesn't just happen.
But you know what ? I loved your voice.
I thought you were a great couple with Heidi Klum .. but ..
after this small amount of time , we have just grown apart.

A Good Book, A Good Meal
This is just Brilliant ( in my opinion) ..
Dining rooms are often such a waste of space.
A Library is wonderful but sometimes a home doesn't have enough space, here is the answer !
This has gone into my files of What To Do In My Next Home ..

Color and Light
While the Plans are not actually spoken of as "real" and while we daydream and share ideas, it is not quite time to say it out loud.
That it is Time to make plans. For a new home. Full of Color and Light and Dreams Come True.

Design Daydreams
I have been spending a lot of time going through design blogs and online magazines lately.
We are in the midst of a hot summer and I daydream of Other places and Other homes to decorate and enjoy.
These are a few images that have grabbed me for one reason or another.
Clean lines and no clutter and the light shade. Nothing fussy or contrived.

Except for those deer horns .. get over the antler phase already !
The light in the room, the shade over the table and those chairs .
The light in the room, the shade over the table and those chairs .
The drama of it all.
Plus, I have those high ceilings and mouldings.

Hibernate
It is Summer and it is hot.
In the 90's each day and there are no clouds, the sky is brilliant blue and a person can get a sunburn just walking to the market and back ..
While one might imagine a cold, wet, Winter day as being perfect to stay in, all cozy and warm and reading a book ... Here, Summer days are when I hibernate with my books.
A hammock in the living room might be fun.
Most often, I read in bed .. in the evenings, when all is quiet and I won't have to stop reading for any reason, like dinner or taking a walk .. just let me have a few hours of quiet reading time.
But during the day is good too.

But during the day is good too.
A cozy chair, a big soft sofa and a good book and everything is pretty much perfect.
It will cool off, in a few months , and we will be out in the parks again, walking here and there, window shopping, neighborhood exploring, cafe sitting with friends .
But for now, we are hibernating .. a good book on a hot day is all we need.

Blue
Blue is a sapphire sky, On a hot summer day,
It stimulates the senses, And lets you melt away.
Blue is the ocean, Deep and crystal clear,
It draws you in and reminds you, Of what you hold so dear.
Blue is a forget me not, Blowing in the wind,
It heals and protects you, Even when the lights are dim...
