Hi friends! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend…it rained cats and dogs yesterday and we were gone for the day to my sons game. Then he surprised us by coming home with six of his teammates (a happy surprise) the not so happy part was waiting up in between fits of sleep until 4:45 am until they waltzed in after a night on the town in NYC!!!!! They do not break for spring break but did get one night off before they head off for a three day team trip.

Coffee never looked so good as it did this morning. I made a spread for them (every college boys dream) but then I laughed thinking they will probably sleep till 2 or 3 and want lunch, lol. For the ones that are not from NY they are in for a major treat….the best NY bagels around:)

1. A BEAUTIFUL NEW LINE. This line is exquisite. Found them while prowling on Net a Porter. I was sure these would be thousands, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw that they were all on average 400.00??? Absolutely gorgeous classic gowns, tops and jackets with unbelievable attention to intricate beadwork and with a price tag like that, I can afford more than one! Click here to see more from them…..

Ordered this can see it working with black pants and a pair of white in the summer.

ITEM 2. MY BLOSSOMS.? My curly cherry blossom stems are in! I LOVE these blossoms, they are amazing, and love the curly willow shape, that you can easily bend in any direction. They really take on a rather magical look and I got lots of inquires about them when I posted them? a few weeks back.

My long awaited order has arrived and they will be online within the next few days but in the meantime are for sale. I sold out of them but getting more on Tuesday.? Sold by the dozen $140.00 for a box. If you want to place an order simply contact me at [email protected]

ITEM 3. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST. Always so much fun for me to share what I am loving on Instagram. The inspiration truly is astounding and I have to say I follow some really fabulous accounts:) This week was particularly full of incredible pictures. Here are my faves this week…..

ITEM 4. MY “LOWER LEVEL”. Sounds so much nicer than basement! So it’s really starting to shape up….the bar is about half way done, we are waiting for the doors and upper cabinets but indeed I am starting to visualize the space.

They just templated for the countertops and it should really start coming together in the next week or two. Plus the bathrooms are starting this coming week, so a little peek at the tile, from Tile Bar...love that place!

5. DETOX GETAWAY! Yes please, ever feel totally overwhelmed, exhausted, overworked? I have been having very full days as of late and naturally my mind has wondered to the idea of a total getaway, nothing but “vegging out” for a few days, a total decompression kind of vacation. Sound good? Yes me too. Town and Country listed 7 recommended “best detox destinations” and I took notes:) Click here to find out more about their recommendations.

6. A BEDROOM MAKEOVER. So my sons bedroom was never really totally “done”. We moved in with his old furniture and I never really went ahead and “did” his room, mostly because he didn’t want? me to, a true boy:)

However I wasn’t loving the dark furniture so am giving his room a makeover.The room is pretty nondescript especially since “stripped it” since he is off to college.

I am starting with a navy leather upholstered headboard and will put a bench in a great fabric at the foot of his bed.

Ordered these amazing crest prints which will grace his walls. I love these prints, and am considering carrying this line of beautiful high quality prints that are custom framed. So here is the direction…

One of these headboards in navy leather (you have to do a visual) and no nailheads

I like this bed with the crisp white bedding with navy accents-

Will add a Ralph-y club chair in leather

7. THE CUTEST MONOGRAM APPLIQUE PILLOWS. I have spoken of Calico Daisy before and in fact have two of her beautiful pillows on my guest room bed. Now that I am redoing my sons room I am thinking of having two shams made for his bed and naturally she was one of the first places I thought to look. Love her pillows! Plus her prices are fantastic, always a perk:) Click here to see more from Calico Daisy.

Here they are on my guest room bed, love them as? much today as I did when I first ordered them…..

Good Morning, Tina,

Thrilled to see pictures of your son’s “before” bedroom. As a Mom to three teenaged boys, I’m interested in, but rarely see boys rooms on design blogs. I look forward to photos on the final design.

The dresses you featured are beautiful and look more expensive than they are. Wish they had a knee length dress — something between the maxi and the mini.

Tina, as usual you have so much going on!! Love to see that we follow so many of the same Instagram greats and I always find more to follow on you Sunday posts!

xoxo

So who won the big game.
I know nothing about lacrosse but I know the feeling of loving anything your kids are in.
Love your lower level update photos.

Where to begin? Love the pillows and your bedroom it is dreamy. My son would be jealous of the breakfast spread you prepared and it makes me crave carbs haha.

Love that line, definitely going to check them out, such beautiful pieces that look very expensive.

Lastly love the way your lower level is shaping up and your choice in bathroom floors is just beautiful. Have a nice Sunday.

Gorgeous dresses, love the basement progress and your sons room is going to be beautiful. Can’t wait for the after. Emailed you about the blossoms. Thank you.

Who manufactures guest room fabrics and, as well, name of patterns. At your convenience, would be grateful for info. LOVE this room. As I do most of your creations.

Many thanks. Annie

All I can say is… those lucky boys to wake up to your beautiful feast! I remember those nights waiting for the girls to come home. I don’t miss that part of child rearing at all. Love those pillows. Glad Leslie won – I love all of her photos. Have a great week, Tina, and hope you can get some time to relax. Can’t wait to see more lower level photos. It’s going to be gorgeous!!

Oh my goodness I just had to leave a comment! What a beautiful and inspiring post. I truly, truly enjoy your blog.

Thank you.

Hi Tina,

Just when I thought your home couldn’t be any prettier you add on and I love the direction your son’s room is going! What a nice breakfast spread – your boys are lucky! I NEED a monogram pillow! Off to check it out.

Love,
Deb xo

Dear, dear TINA! HELLO! I have been away from posting and how I MISS YOU! First of all, Leslie’s gorgeous sink…how I love her kitchen, as I love yours..both of you have the dream kitchen of my choice! Congratulations to her. And your entertainment area is coming along so beautifully; your husband is going to live down there! Oh the parties you put on must be ENCHANTING. You are dressed for success Tina; you have so much to work with to create the most exquisite designs and even a B O O K….hint hint….

Thank you for coming by to visit! Yes, audacious Anita is at it again. I am going to put my better blog posts together into a published, glossy hardcover book to make it available for whoever wants one. I’m out there….I’m bold. I can see The Enchanted Home in a book too…how about it, Tina?

Much love to you and I hope spring has come your way! Anita

Thank you for the posting with the beautiful dresses. I have a black tie wedding in May and I love several of the dresses. Hopefully their wait list isn’t too long. The Instagram about parents is so true – hard but true.

I always enjoy the Seven on Sunday edition!

So happy you posted pics of your son’s room, and what you plan on doing to redecorate it. I have a teen boy and he does not want me to touch anything in his room, so it’s fun to see the possibilities. And you have exquisite taste and a definite talent for design, Tina. I agree with Anita, you need to pen a book!
I hope you enjoyed the boys staying over. So funny that they stayed out that late! Though I’m not that surprised?.my daughter says she won’t even bother to head out until almost midnight. Can you imagine? I’d be in bed by then.
I love, love all your pictures, as usual. Thank you for a fun peek into your life. Enchanted. Yes!

Love your guest room, it is just beautiful!!! Navy is great for a boy/man’s room. I have my grandson’s room in Navy with his Crest as well.

Hi Tina my love
I am just stopping by quickly today… it is Mother’s Day here in the uk so a very happy Mother’s Day to all of you lovely Moms across the pond…I can tell it has been a happy weekend for you to have the boys around.

and I can see many-a-Tinitini being enjoyed at your bar :))

Congratulations to Leslie, I voted for her pretty kitchen full of sunshine

Oh Tina,

What a wonderful post! I loved hearing about your weekend and the photos of your sons’s room are fabulous. I love the direction you are taking with the leather headboard and crest prints. Wow! I also can’t wait to see the “lower level” when it is completed. It is going to be every man’s dream room, for sure.

Love,love, love your blog! I can’t say it enough!

Tina,
So much going on but all GOOD!
The other evening, we were out and on the drinks menu, there was an Espresso Martini? I thought, wow, that sounds like too much all at once! Well after your post, I think you deserve to treat yourself to one of those pretty dresses and how fun to update your sons room and to have company and good things going on! Love that b-fast buffet and congrats to Leslie!
Thanks again for sharing my Instagram!
Love the Town & Country list…..dreamy!
Navy leather, crests, a Leather chair……I love the “clubby” direction of his room…..and your lower level will be a great spot to hang out….

Oh goodness! First, sorry about being so late here today. The internet was turned off (more construction……). I am feeling very honored and very touched that your amazing readers voted for my sink photo. All of the photos you received Tina create the most beautiful gallery of your work and inspiration to so many people. Thank you.

On another note πŸ˜‰ you are such a great mom to provide all those yummy bagels and fruit to your son and his buddies. I’m sure it was devoured in moments!

Your lower level is taking on a great look and I ~ like most of your readers, are awaiting the final reveal. I will be checking out that tile site as I need to tile an office area and small powder room.

Hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend Tina and I’ll be in touch.

Hi Tina! Your son is a very lucky young man! Wish I had the leftovers of that yummy spread at my house this morning, and absolutely love the bedroom makeover.

Always love seeing what’s on your radar – don’t you just love Needle and Thread? Can’t believe their pricing and am wondering how on earth they keep it so low. I’ll be curious to follow your “lower level” project – our basement is finished and functional, but we don’t use it except to throw things πŸ™‚ I think some built ins would make a huge difference, as would some new materials. I’d love to make the laundry room a little more attractive.

I thought of you last week because a friend of mine introduced me to a wonderful monogram resource – Walker Valentine. Do you know them? I’m going to be ordering a whole bunch of treats from them this spring.

Oh, and Leslie’s photo. I just love it! It would make a pretty painting, don’t you think?

Have a lovely week! XOXO

What a lucky group of boys – just loved having those visits from a group of college kids – nothing like that laughter and fun. Can hardly wait to get over a check out these dresses – so so pretty! And of course, no one loves watching a transformation more than the two of us. Can hardly wait to follow along on your basement – love all of your picks!! Happy Monday, Tina!

I only made it as far as those gorgeous dresses…and had to have a visit to Net A Porter! Fabulous!
Sounds like a great weekend with the boys… xv

Those monogrammed pillows are beautiful and I have just the friend for whom they will be the perfect gift! I miss those days of a house full of college kids! Enjoy it as long as you can!!
