Simply Beautiful.....


(image via William Waldon Photography for Elle Decor)
Happy Monday everyone...I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I really love the beautiful color in these photos. I definitely tend to lean toward an all neutral pallette, but if I ever stray, it's always with romantic pinks, lavenders, and citrus. Wishing you all a great week....live well

Loving Lavender

A little lavender love this morning...loving the grey ceiling, so unexpected and warm...My 11yr. old daughter is begging to re-do her room in purple...I've been saying no for some time now, but if I could pull something age appropriate out of this pallette, I just might say yes! live well...
