One of the reasons is what I see when I walk out of my bedroom each morning.
I love how my living room is shaping up. I am slowly getting the English cottage look that I want by using things that I have had for many years along with some new purchases.
It is an eclectic mix that I will share more of later with you.
Today, I just wanted to show you my first view of the day. A view that puts a smile on my face.
Oh and I almost forgot. Tomorrow is a special day. It is my granddaughter Tessa's fourth birthday.
I won't be there, but I left her a special present. One that she made sure I knew she wanted. I hope my daughter will text me a photo of her with it. If she does I will definitely share it with you.
I'll give you a hint. It is pink (her favorite color), has one horn, and is not alive (although she wanted it to be and told me exactly how she would take care of it).
Happy birthday to a funny, sweet, very serious, and very smart girl.
Wish I was there to celebrate with you.
It warms my heart to see you have a place of your own. Love your style and can't wait to see more. Your Granddaughter is adorable and I bet she loves the pressent(unicorn is my guess). Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great view and it is cottagey. What fun to mix and match your old loves with new loves.
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to see more of your apartment! I've always loved the name Tessa.

What a nice view as you walk out in the morning... I love the cottage look and am aiming for that in my house too... trouble is.. hubby keeps buying stuff at the thrift stores that is "non cottage" and I have to try to squeeze it in amongst my softer pastels! What's a person to do??!!! It is nice to be able to decorate it the way you want and make it all your very own. Am anxious to see more! and one a sweet grand-dtr you have!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving watching you settle into your home, Laura!! And your granddaughter is just gorgeous - a very happy birthday, Tessa!!
ReplyDeleteand a gracious lady watching over you from the portrait.
ReplyDeleteYour family room looks so pretty! I love that painting on the wall. You've done a great job making it english country and charming. I know you must be so happy to finally be settled in your new home.
