Today is a day that all of us mothers get to put our feet up (hopefully) and get treated like the priceless gems that we all are. NO job is as grueling nor as rewarding as that of being a mother, and it’s a 24/7 hour gig as we all know:) So it’s nice to have a day that is all about us…enjoy it, I know I plan to!
We hope, after a week of non stop rain, gray skies and cool temps but they are predicting a sunny afternoon:) We, however woke up to more rain AGAIN this morning so I am not so sure. I am hoping to go and putter in my little garden later and then hang out with my family. My son came home from college a few nights ago ….it’s so good to have him home, best gift ever!
We are supposed be heading into the city later but if the sun does come out we may stay home and BBQ, no matter what, it will be so nice for it to be all five of us together again:)
It was so cute, the night my son came home at 2am after a delayed flight, he came in exhausted but sooo happy and almost giddy to be home. I almost thought he missed Teddy as much as he did me, and the two of them slept on the sofa in the family room, it was so cute to see that sweet reunion of best buds.
So today is my Seven on Sunday where I share with you seven things that got my attention and here we go….
1 MY SHOWHOUSE MURAL. This came out sooo beautiful, thank you Paul Montgomery! A powder room became available last minute at the showhouse that I am going to next week (click here for info) as a designer had to step down. So I stepped up to the plate.
This was a challenge, doing everything from afar, and a little nail biting since I tend to be very OCD about everything. Thanks to Paul Montgomery, this little powder room has instantly gone from plain Jane to belle of the ball. Just look at this mural!
The blue under the chair rail has since been painted another more muted blue (that one was based on the original mural which was brighter)
Light fixture just got hung-
2. MY LITTLE GARDEN. I was determined this year to have a working albeit small garden. Last year was rather pathetic and I vowed to step it up this year so I took pride and care to create a garden that hopefully, fingers crossed will thrive! With all the rain we have had this past week suffice to say, it’s gotten plenty of nourishment:)
A number of you have asked about where I got the raised beds..good ‘ol Home Depot. If I were to do this again I would have painted them a beautiful glossy moss green, that would be stunning- maybe next year!
3. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST This week is heavy on the flowers and so many are just so breathtaking….but this first tiny cutie really stole my heart in honor of Cinco de Mayo! Lots of beauty this week….
4. FAVORITE PILLOWS. I have relied on Studio Tullia for beautiful blue and white pillows ever since we moved here. I got another recent batch including a fabulous monogrammed pillow new to the Enchanted Home collection and went outside to “play” on a rare afternoon of no rain (it only lasted an hour)!
I added my garden bench and gorgeous thriving mega Mrytle topiary in my newest small fishbowl…and loved the effect of all that blue and white against the green. Click here to see them all.…they are simply exquisite!
5. FOR ALL MOTHERS OUT THERE. I found myself nodding to almost each and every one of these….and how many of you have heard and found yourself repeating these very things? This was way too sweet, funny and on the mark to not share with all the mothers out there…..
6. MONOGRAMMED NAPKINS THAT I AM SMITTEN OVER. As my new site is being worked on behinds the scenes, there are going to be a number of changes/improvements. A lot of expansion and overall a much much better site, way more user friendly and a whole new look.I think you will love it!
One area that will be expanded upon is the monogrammed linens. I am so excited for what lies ahead and this sneak peek might just get you excited too….is there anything more stylish than a crisp white cocktail napkin with an oversized monogram? I don’t think so!
And my newest set of monogrammed napkins in the pagoda font…it’s a love affair:)
7. A MOVIE I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE. This is going to be so entertaining…can’t wait til it comes out next week. They say it takes a village and this documentary proves it does indeed, to create the spectacle and epic Met Gala event that is “the” event of the year. From beautifully dressed to downright wacky, yes fashion really is a form of art, isn’t it. Nonetheless, this is going to be good!
PS Is that Anna aka “Ice queen” almost cracking a smile?
Any thing here get your attention? Would love to hear what is on your agenda on this most important day:)
I just want to end this by saying hello and a very Happy Mother’s Day to my #1 fan…… my own mom, who I love to the moon and back. I am so sorry we are not together this year but we most definitely will be next! Hope your day is wonderful, relaxing and deserving of the person you are and have always been to me….I am a lucky girl who continues to aspire to be just like you, I love you Mom!
And to all my wonderful readers and friends out there, wishing you the same. Enjoy, until next time…..
Reminder-
My epic Enchanted Home Love Contest submissions are in full swing- I filled up so fast I opened it up a bit and have room for about another 8-10 pictures. One super lucky winner will win a YEAR’S WORTH of Enchanted Home products! Click here for the details
Happy Mother’s Day to you! What an extraordinary power room! I am not sure if the mural is wallpaper or some other medium, but it is simply lovely. I am redoing a bathroom in our home and am loving the process. Thank you for your inspiration, as always!
That mural looks fabulous. But my jaw really dropped when I got to those blue hydrangeas around that pool. I am such a sucker for hydrangeas (or hortensias in French).
Happy Mother’s Day, Tina! Wow, what a beautiful mural! You have such wonderful taste. In a few weeks, I will be doing a small powder room in our home. As usual you have given me the perfect ideas for this project. Thank you and have a great day !
Happy Mothers Day Tina. Hope you have a sunny wonderful day! You always brighten mine. I am looking forward to seeing your new site. The only thing i can say about your current site is the pictures don’t do justice to the products you carry. Although they look pretty on your site, the things I have purchased are simply beautiful when I get them. Hopefully that will increase your business, although you seem to be thriving. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day! LOVE the powder room mural, am in process of finding a muralist who can do a similar grisaille painting in our front foyer and up to the second floor, taking inspiration from a painting of a local historical farmhouse & gardens.
You might want to check on whether or not paint chemicals might leach into your planting soil, and then be taken up into your veggies before you paint the raised beds. And yes, I hate it when practicality trumps the pretty!
Those hydrangeas are spectacular, and hopefully next spring I will be planting a border of them after we redo the pool area and put up a tall fence around the back of the property so that Bambi & Co won’t consider them ‘dinner’!
Tina, a very happy Mother’s Day to you! I hope that the sun shines and you can barbecue with your little family! It sounds like the perfect day! I am sure it is so wonderful to have your son home! Enjoy your time with him as well.
Love all of your finds, the pillows are beautiful. But your mural!!!! There are no words for how fabulous it looks! What is the name of your new paint color, is it more navy? Cannot wait to see the finished room.
Please consider a blue and white Chinoiserie patterned 22″ napkin. Sometimes renters at our summer home neglect to promptly treat a stain. The house has an open design with many items from the Enchanted Home on display. Marcia from ‘Sconset.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! And I am thrilled to see you are taking up vegetable gardening! The raised beds truly are enchanting, Tina! And I see the blue hydrangea Instagram photo! I knew you’d love it!
Happy Mother’s day to you Tina! Thank you for all the energy and time you put into your blog so that the rest of us can enjoy your beautiful home and gather so many wonderful, creative ideas!
what a gorgeous sunday…outdoors and on this enchanting screen. i think your garden looks delicious! how exciting to watch it grow. and i’ll be waiting to see the new and improved site you are dreaming up. peace to you as you follow your heart and make everything you touch more beautiful. xox
Happy Mother’s Day, Tina! Those of us lucky enough to have our moms in our lives are very, very lucky indeed. Thanks for the heads up about The First Monday in May. I both love Anna Wintour and am terrified of her!
Love the cocktail napkins! Sorry about rainy weather but it has benefitted your raised beds! We have had the most glorious weather here in the low country. I know humidity will come, but not yet!
Just a quick note on the veggie garden. I did one last year and it got crowded really quickly. You may want to space out more or add a few more boxes. FYI. Good luck with it.
