Decor Inspiration: {Lovely White Walls}

{.. where to begin... first off, my sincere and deepest appreciation for your continued support despite my absence... the cause? this adorable cutie pie... as you may know I became a grandmother for the second time on August 22 and my daughter and her family are living with us until their new home is built... it appears to have really affected my daily routine, which I'm not complaining about at all, as I feel very privileged to be spending this time with my granddaughter, but it is the primary factor for not being able to blog as frequently as I have in the past... so, no promises for regular posting until mid-November, but I will TRY harder... in the meantime, please enjoy these images of spaces that I adore and that I believe really show off how dramatic and lovely a space can become with blank white walls as a jumping point... hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! xoxo}

Decor Inspiration: {A Chilean Retreat}

{... hello lovelies... I saw this beautiful home a few weeks ago on the lovely blog "Aubrey Road" and haven't stop thinking about it... albeit the architect waived his fee, the home was originally built in 1999 "in a largely rural area with spectacular natural scenery some 40 miles southwest of urban Santiago" for only $80,000 using "economical materials and methods" such as pine white-painted floors, while the interior walls and kitchen cabinets were "faced with exposed sheets of plywood and painted white lightly as a wash"... I find the home exquisite in its simplicity, functional and beautiful... enjoy}

Linda, xo.  p.s. SO excited to have reached 900 followers!  Thank you, all!}
