Leave your mark – paper pleasantries + more
Off to the Hamptons… if I had a beach home which someday I will – fingers crossed, this is what I would want my bedroom to look like. White washed walls, an organic carpet, sea scape artwork, elements sporadically placed and a majestic and serene view out the windows. One could sail far far away while dreaming in this environment. Happy weekend everyone!

I haven’t purchased much needed furniture yet, because I don’t move for another week, however below is the attention to detail I aspire to achieve upon settling in. An over-sized mirror, soft ottoman, rug, petite table and pretty artwork make the corner of a room extremely comfy. Flowers, a mirror, makeup brush holder and scented drawer inserts make the vanity a happy way to start the day. Symmetry in the bedroom with flanked tables, lamps and artwork, and the best accent – a bench at the foot of the bed. Hanging art in unexpected places and frames that require no hanging at all by resting on the floor. Lastly, I am toying with the idea of a electric fireplace to give my living area a focal point and some added warmth.
