Favorite Color Combination - Sarah Klassen/Haute Design


{"A Night in Paris"

Note the deep moonlight in shades of grays and purples and the glowing, golden lights that line the bustling Champs-Elysées...oh, the city of lights...I can see a story here. Perhaps a little shopping in some of the most beautiful shops in the world, followed by dinner and dancing and a lovely, Autumn evening walk...


I have often found that my greatest inspirations come from experiences, feelings, and special memories. Wouldn't it be lovely to translate these emotions, memories and feelings into the home?}

Details: Molding

{I love molding and yet I have never added any to my home that wasn't already existing. Would love to hear whether you have added molding to your home as part of your renovations, or whether you have been lucky enough to purchase/rent a place with pre-existing gorgeous molding as lovely as in these images below?}

Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

{Daily horoscope for Thursday, November 5, 2009.}


(Capricorn, December 22 to January 20: Beware of some crossed signals or less-than-totally clear communication. A lot of ambient noise is in the air -- third-party hearsay or idle, unfounded gossip, for instance. Shut it out! Once you winnow away all that negative stuff, the more significant messages may become clear. Interpreting it as being all about you could be totally wrong. {p.s. do you not love the model's shoes?})

(Aquarius, January 21 to February 18: It's a busy time to contemplate big changes when it comes to your employment situation, but something could occur now that has you doing exactly that. Whatever generates that spark of excitement in your mind is too darned important to put on the back burner until the hubbub around you subsides. Luckily one of your unique talents is multitasking. You can absolutely mull this over while getting lots done -- and still have lots of fun.)

(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Your growing feelings for someone are helping you overlook their imperfections, which is good -- no one is perfect, and it's totally appropriate to focus on their good points. But be careful not to cross over that fine line into illusion. They are who they are, and while you care about them, you can't ignore that fact. You just have to understand that not everyone sees this person the way you do -- and that's okay. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photograph source, via Fashion Gone Rogue. Horoscopes resume Monday, November 9: Aries, Taurus & Gemini.)

Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius

{Daily horoscope for Wednesday, November 4, 2009.}


(Libra, September 23 to October 23: A lighthearted chat may suddenly take a deeper turn now. You're in a sharing mode, and that includes some emotions you don't generally talk to anyone about. Whom you share with could be rather surprising as well -- and the connection you make or deepen may be unexpectedly sweet. The intensity might even have some romantic overtones -- but where you take it is up to you. Abandoning your boundaries could be premature.)

(Scorpio, October 24 to November 21: A little part of the big picture you're not taking into consideration right now could really trip you up. Read the fine print, watch out for hidden fees, check carefully between the lines and be hyper vigilant about the seemingly insignificant stuff. If it's an interpersonal situation, one of your best friends is waiting to help you see the angle you're missing.)

(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: Sometimes you're in the mood for a deep, philosophical conversation, and sometimes you're just in the mood to cut loose. Right now, the former may not be in the stars, but with work gatherings, celebratory parties and all sorts of assorted shindigs on the horizon, the latter is definitely favored. In no way will you be bored, especially if you wear your dancing shoes -- you never know when a favorite song will come on. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.
