This is a repost from last January but I thought it worth a re-post for this January.
I was looking around on the internet searching for some fun unique winter looks and so I thought I would share some of the pics I found with all of you. When I look at the photos they just make me say ahhhhh.


Don’t you just love the bright clean airy looks of these rooms!
They are like a breath of fresh air for me.
Enjoy!

    Ahhhhh. I love that big old sink in the first photo, and I love the light fixture with the three shades over the dining table. I’m looking for something just like it and am hoping to find one that won’t break the bank. Lovely pictures!

    Love your white photos…the first bathroom was super cool. I’ve just gone “white” this past year. (Well, neutrals and white) I really love the calm of white. You picked some great white pics. Thanks for sharing them.

    blessings!

    So simple and clean. I get the urge to throw everything away and paint all my furniture white around this time of year!

    Thank thanks so much for the encouraging comment left on my blog. It was much appreciated, and needed.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
