I’ve gone off the reservation lately with my overabundance of posts on the joy of being outdoors, communing with nature. I’ve even covered gates, picnics, bird baths and exterior front doors!
I think it’s time I came indoors and shared some of the pretty rooms I’ve encountered in my perusing of the world wide blog land ♥♥♥
This entry is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in awhile. The doggies only add to its beauty as far as I’m concerned. I think the small doggie closest to the door is a Border Terrier (a cousin to my little terror terrier mix).
Look at the detailing on the interior around the door, isn’t it beautiful. I love a Dutch door for a front door (we’re lucky enough to have one).

The sconces, the antique mirror, books and decorative accessories, what’s not to love? Old world finishes are a favorite and this image has great examples of that.

I really like this room, the wood paneling gives the room a comfortable “country” vibe, while the palladian-style windows over the french doors and the carved piece above the TV gives the room a history and elegance. I’m not sure how I feel about a TV over the fireplace. We’ll have to have an open panel discussion sometime.
Kitchens in general always get my attention, but this one is striking with the charcoal walls and cream cabinetry. I love the lamps on the island.

A bathroom fit for a princess.
There’s always something fresh and inviting about a mostly white room…
This is a study/office I could get comfortable in.
And the pretty room below belongs to Son #2 and his lovely fiance. They have purchased their first home!
I hope this has been entertaining for my dear readers who share my passion for wonderful decorating…I have been a little distracted with spring and the great outdoors but will return to focusing on inviting rooms.

Karen, there were so many elements in this post for me to envy. I loved everything about the house with the stained French doors with the Palladian windows above. I have also decided that the master bath in my next house wil be Carrara marble – how beautiful is that!
Tell Sarah and Kevin that I think their dining room is charming.

I LOVE the K. O’Toole photo! Your ‘re right she had everything to love in that one spot. Also that kitchen, oh my,I’d be in that room all the time. I have to say I’ve been totally taken with being outside too. Everything is so fresh and green.

I forgot I meant to say our son’s dining room is charming! Very hip. Love the dark flooring.

Thanks for the selection, Karen! I especially love the Daniel Brisset rooms. I love the way the lines of the lantern echoes the curve of the palladium windows. A beauty!
Sherry said:
Beautiful rooms! Congrats to your son and fiance on the purchase of their new home.
I am now following you on Pinterest too.

I’m right there with you! I’ve done post after post on outdoor interests. While the sun shines it’s hard to force my brain indoors. I did really love this indoor post though, especially the kitchen with the cream cabinets and charcoal walls. I’ve been thinking about painting my kitchen walls white and the cabinets charcoal, but now that I’ve seen this, I’m reconsidering.
Thank you for your visit to my place and for your lovely comment. Please do come again. I’m your newest follower!

Ooooh what a lovely way to start the day! So much inspiration! I adore the entrance in the second picture, oh yes, and the little window seat towards the bottom! What a great place to curl up with a good book and a strong cup of coffee!

Karen,
I agree with Gretchen that Kevin and Sarah’s dining room is charming. I also loved the kitchen with the charcoal walls. Wonderful!

Hi Karen another lovely post! I especially like the Dutch door and entry. Lovely. Re the tv over the fireplace, this is a particular gripe of mine- I think that is a place for a mirror or a lovely artwork, I would never place a tv in a prominent place, unless there is space for a dedicated tv room.
Keep up the good work,
Amanda
