Good Sunday evening and Labor Day weekend to you. Boy I am squeezing this “Sunday on Seven” in just in the nick of time:)? I really missed being on my blog, we are enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend by the lake….so relaxing.

Thank you for bearing with me as my site was transferred to a new domain……yes I am officially a “.com” so the new address is www.enchantedhome.com FYI though there are no changes on your end. It is done and for anyone who emailed about the site being down, that is a thing of the past!

I am so very sorry but in the process about 30 comments were (about the last 30)? lost in my “sponsors post/giveaway”,? unfortunately that is just one of the perils of this process.

Because of that I am allowing this to go on one more day so you can leave another comment in case yours was lost. Click here to throw your name in the hat for the drawing (10 fabulous prizes)!? All winners will be announced on Tuesday.

We are away this weekend and hope this will post as it is supposed to. Anyway onto my Seven on Sunday…

1 FABULOUS BLUE AND WHITE PAPER GOODS. Yes these are paper….hard to believe! Leave it up to my readers to inform me of this fabulous line of papergoods at Target nonetheless. Upon further “investigating” I found that this company, Cheeky also has a wonderful social platform, one worth supporting so this definitely warranted including it in today’s roundup.

They will donate a meal for every single item purchased….what better way to give back than buying something you love and knowing you are providing a meal……pure genius! Available at Target. Click here to visit Cheeky Home.

2. SAMUEL AND SONS. When I am looking for trim, there is always one source that is a sure thing…..Samuel and Son. I have been going to them for years and though they are expensive…you get what you pay for. And there are few places that can rival their selection.

Upon entering this fabulous shop in NYC, you literally feel like a kid in a very grown up candy shop, trims of every color in the rainbow, every possible combination…suffice to say they have it all.

As I now want to finish the drapes in my dining room, I am thinking soft creamy solid silk billowy panels with a big wide luxurious tape to pull in the pale blue/gray…and sure enough Samuel and Son has it!? Click here to visit Samuel and Sons.…be prepared to stay while:) Take a look and see what all the fuss is about…

This is the tape that stopped me in my tracks…love it!

This is the one I am considering, waiting for the sample…think this on cream silk panels would be fabulous!

 

3. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST. Another round of fabulous and inspiring Instagram pictures to share with you this week. Seriously the beauty is just off the charts…how did we ever live without it!

4. THE WINNERS FOR THE BATHROOMS. I so appreciated your help and input for the bathrooms “Which would you choose”. We will be getting one of these two vanities (first was sold out but on backorder, if its arrives with 1-2 weeks we will go with it, felt it was most “gym like” and like that it has room for towels. If not we will go with equally pretty #2. Will be changing faucets and hardware.

And it was a tough decision for the wallpaper as there were many beauties however seeing the sample in the room cemented my decision that #2 was the one. Just got it measured and ordering it on Tuesday, same day sink will be in:)

5. A NEW AND VERY EXCITING PROJECT IN THE WORKS! So I have been asked to participate as a designer in a very special upcoming project! Ronald McDonald house is putting on a fabulous designer showhouse where approx. 22 designers will each design a 10 x 10 room/vignette.

To kick off the gala there will be an opening night party in Oct. where Nate Berkus and Candace Olsen will be honored. I am so happy to have been asked, and despite a super hectic schedule could not say no to such a worthwhile case.

As most of you know I have three sons…so never got to design a girls room:( So…this?might be my chance!?It is very early in the process as I just committed to this days ago but I immediately started turning my wheels and I always have a starting point..and this one was my beautiful chinosierie tole lamps which I love and have always thought they were made for a gorgeous bedroom! So here is one idea, have another idea percolating…will keep you posted!

6. A SUPER EASY BUT OH SO GOOD RECIPE. I love zucchini and really love cheese, I think I could literally live on Parmesan. So I was super happy when I made these and they came out sooo tasty, I mean really good. I could justify eating an entire batch because afterall we are talking vegetables here:) Click here for the super easy recipe…..

7. A RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS WINERY. Can you believe how fabulous this is! Of course its none other than super tony Chateau Margaux, though the property and winery has been in existence for decades, they just underwent a super major restoration/new winery under the brilliant direction of Norman Foster.

Someone we know in the wine business recently told us about it and I had to check it out for myself.? Just check it out….also click here to learn more about this iconic winery.

Thank you Tina for the information on your sponsors! I’ve ordered from several of them already and wouldn’t have known they existed without your wonderfully interesting blog!!
Happy Labor Day!
(Love the tape you’ve chosen)

Love your style! Your blog is one of the first places I seek out when I need a recommendation for home or style ideas! You should consider doing your own Scout magazine!

Good evening Tina,

We have spent time at Chateau Margaux. We even purchased our daughters wedding wine from them years ago…it’s utterly out of this world and worth a trip to France to check it out sometime you want a romantic trip abroad.

Great column today…entering fall, one of my favorite seasons.

Hi Tina
Thanks so much for including my chinoiserie pumpkin tonight in your Seven on Sunday! Sweet dreams,
Dana

Love, Love your new Logo. Love the wagon, your character, Mr. Teddy and the blue/white porcelain. I would love to have any item as a giveaway. Thank you so much for reminding us of all your great sponsors. The highlight of my day is looking at every site and dreaming of items to collect. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday from VA.

Hi Tina

It just wouldn’t be Sunday without your blog.

Your choice of trim is beautiful. As the saying goes “it’s all in the details”

Candace Olsen is one of my favorites. Love her “touch” of glamour”.

I found you through The French Tangerine. I love looking at all the pretties on your site. You have the most beautiful home I have ever seen!!!!
Just love it! Leslie from Hampton, GA

Thanks for 7 on Sunday. Lots of beauties. Thanks for the opportunity to win a treat from your sponsors.

I have to thank you for sharing all of your sponsores on your blog. You are a wealth of information on designing your home to collecting beautiful treasures. I have order a few thing from your shop to Judith August to Angelia’s Garden. Thank you, thank you for sharing. My girls follow you too! Love the new blog by the way! Enjoy your weekend!

IN LOVE WITH THE NEW LOGO! IT’S SO YOU…
JUST NOW GOING TO TARGET TO GET THOSE PLATES, IN LOVE…
THANKS TINA

Love the pumpkin& those cookies are amazing! Hope you all have a lovely Labour Day.

Love your beautiful website! Thanks so much for the chance to win something from one of your fabulous sponsors! Happy Labor Day!

Hello dear Tina… although I was a day late and a dollar short getting to your Sunday post, I appreciated it just the same! Congrats on being chosen as a designer for the Ronald McDonald house! Can’t wait to see the result of your magic! Enjoy the rest of your day.

I love your new blog header! You are by far my favorite blog and have been following you for several years. From the building of your magnificent home, to scrumptious recipes you always inform and delight!

A grey and rainy Labor Day morning here in Wisconsin Tina and reading today’s blog just lifts my spirits- so many uplifting photos. I’m so happy you were chosen to do the room at the Ronald McDonald’s showhouse. Like you, I only had sons but now we have granddaughters. We hope to be moving near them soon (before Winter IF we’re fortunate to sell our house )then I can delight in using some of your inspiration for girl’s rooms. What I’m seeing in your designs is a timeless classic that will work for different ages. Great ideas! Love your blog and thank you. Yep- I did enter the contest last week but my comment was towards the bottom.

I love how you start with Cheeky paper plates from Target and end with a Premier Grand Cru from Chateaux Margaux…and everything in between. Always a fun read!

You are so busy Tina! .. I can’t keep up:) LOVE the trim, wallpaper, and bathroom sinks you picked out. Those colors are my favorite and that sink is gorgeous. That winery looks spectacular .. what a fun event. Don’t you love the variety and styles in labeling? As for those parmesan zucchini bites;) I make something similar and they are always a hit (and healthy too!).

We’ve been at our friends beach house and I’m so behind on blogging. It’s been very relaxing and I am completely recharged and ready to go .. looking forward to fall and all the food and fun that goes along with that. xxL

Tina, I am so excited to see the little girls room that you are going to design for the Ronald McDonald House!!! How exciting!

I love the new site, and of course all of the seven on sunday lists. I cannot wait to check out the new instagram pages I am not familiar with.

Enjoy every second of your weekend!

So thoughtful of you to bring awareness of the adorable Cheeky products. Their company does have a wonderful platform ( I cannot resist paraphasing James Carville right now – “it’s about the charity, stupid”) and hey, I’m not typically a paper goods person, but when nothing breakable is allowed near my pool, nice to know their are pretty options out there.

Love you, Tina!

So glad I found your site! Love the paper goods at Target, will be looking for them tomorrow. Thanks for all your blue & white inspiration ?

Tina I am late in commenting as I’ve been away for a long weekend; however another of my favorite postings!! So glad you went for a getaway as well!

xoxo

Many thanks for the kind words and for including Samuel & Sons in your post. We’re happy to hear how much you enjoy the showroom and hope that you’ll share photos when you get around to those cream silk panels with the ?pingl? trim.
