To have a space for dreaming and solitude...

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, August 19, 2011

You know how some people get all of their energy from being around other people, and how other people need "alone time" to energize? Well, I'm definitely one of the later. I grew up on an almost 200 acre farm on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, so being alone and outside was a part of my daily life and something I really took for granted. Obviously, living in NYC for 3 years I never experienced that, and though I loved it - I never truly felt unwound. I have found a happy in between where I am now, but looking at these gorgeous retreats makes me long for a hidden spot in nature where I can go and decompress.

What do you do or where do you go when you need to decompress and unwind?

so, so, so pretty

perfect

As always a HECTIC Monday here at the Decorology desk. If one of these images can't inspire a little peace, I don't know what will...

A beautiful, glamorous house to ring in the week

Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, March 06, 2010

The home of Lizzie Bailey is sooo pretty, glamorous, clean, and crisp - I just had to share it with you right away. Bailey actually majored in English but found her calling as an interior designer while working (and doing a little photo shoot styling), at Better Homes and Gardens. As you can see, she's found her calling.




The horizontal stripes in the entry way is just great. A smaller space is a great place to go bold if there's a certain wallpaper or paint treatment you love but are too nervous to use in a large room. It helps create little nooks of interest.

Wasn't that serene?
