Hello! So happy it’s Friday……I can’t believe it’s snowing again, it is awfully pretty though:)? First it was supposed to be a “dusting” now I woke up to reports of 5-8″! This will definitely throw a wrench into my day…as I am ultra nervous driving in the snow. I have had a super hectic week with way too many balls in the air and am looking forward to taking the weekend to decompress a bit and feel I have earned some much needed downtime.

Hope your week is going well…..am sure everyone is excited about the Superbowl? For? me, its all about the food and the commercials I cannot lie. Anywho as I do from time to time I share musings taken via my trusty little iPhone, very little narration needed. And here we go….

I always love seeing your home, but in the snow it’s amazing…and of course, Teddy makes any picture! The pagoda lamps are beautiful – hate the show wasn’t better…Happy weekend!!

Hi Tina. Can you tell me where you purchased Southern Home magazine, Did a Google search which sent me in circles. Loved Southern Accents and look forward to getting my hands on this.

I love the chinoiserie teapot pillows! Don’t laugh but chinoiserie popped up on my spellcheck and the only alternative was trichinosis!!! Technology, you have to love it! I don’t usually make many comments, but I absolutely adore the Falk Manor fabric you chose for the dining room chairs, that is my favorite shade of blue and it looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Karen

Love the velvet print fabric for your office and the Scalamandr? on the chair!!!! Looking for a wow accent fabric for stools and/or pillows. The aged brass pagoda looking lamps are fabulous too.

I live in Dallas, but being from CT and having all my daughters and families here in CT, we bought a beach home in Madison, CT 10 years ago when my first grandson was born. We have been in the process of renovating our second home here for the last two years and are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. I’m trying to figure out the finishing touches to bring it all together. I am a huge fan of blue and white and French style, but find I am leaning toward a much cleaner, less decorated look for the house. I like the look of incorporating some more contemporary pieces as a mix, i.e. I may use a Saarinen tulip table between two Ebanista upholstered velvet chairs in an upstairs sitting area. Most of the walls are paneled and everything is being painted Pure White by Sherwin Williams with ebony stained 5″ white oak floors. The furniture is very traditional….mahogany with inlay, but more modern mid blue matching leather sofas (the only color) in the Great Room. Most of the upholstered DR chairs, kitchen stools, guest beds are covered in linen, and MBR drapes in a linen color taffeta. I used Calacatta Cremo in KIT with a giant island 10 x 6.5 and Calacatta Gold throughout the rest of the house. The only other pattern is a Lee Jofa Chinoiserie blue pattern on a cream grass cloth similar to your powder room!

I work with my decorator in Dallas for the major furniture pieces and drapes, but may need some help in putting the finishing touches in place. What e-services do you offer?

Good Morning from snowy Massachusetts, dear Tina. Your iphone pics are always a feast for my eyes. Love all your new pillows and the wallpaper for the powder room. I was out in my robe taking pics this am too. Hope you take lots of pics of all the yummy apps you are making for Super Bowl. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend and keep dry. PS. Always enjoy the Teddy pics.

Looks like a beautiful Winter Wonderland, love what you have chosen for your office! Have a great afternoon!?

Tina, just purchased one of your silver wine buckets. Can’t wait to receive it! On this post you showed the toile wall paper sample for your powder room. It’s in cream colors. Would you share the manufacturer?Love it! Would love to use in my home too! Best- Donna R

Fresh pasta is the best! We stopped at Eataly in Chicago the other day and I was ooooing and ahhhhing over the selection in their fresh made pasta case. Also, the selection of cheeses….

Tina,
Your blog is always so interesting, inspiring and entertaining! I absolutely love the chinoiserie teapot pillows!! When will they be on line for sale; today, this weekend or next week? Love those pale blue hydrangeas, also. You have such exquisite taste! Glad it is the weekend, also!

Fondly,
Chris

Your home makes my heart flutter! Always an inspirational post Tina. I look forward to it every day.

Hello dear Tina
Everything is gorgeous, and a pleasure to the senses as always…I didn’t comment earlier in the week but loved your favourite rooms ( some favourites of mine were in your selection )

The pale blue hydrangeas are identical to the real thing, I have some that I dried in the summer and they have faded to that delectable milky blue…perfection

Please send a special pat and love to your adorable Teddy, and enjoy the weekend
Love to you xx

You have exquisite taste, Tina. Love everything you do.
Is that the Pottery Barn Apothecary Sink Console in your lower level powder room? So glad to see you use it. I’ve been contemplating using it in our pool bath.

So pretty Tina! ..truly a winter wonderland:) ..and YES- life does call for one of those big, juicy burgers every now and then! Happy Friday ?

When you showed your classic paper from long ago that you’re reconsidering for your guest powder room, I thought of some of my favorite papers as an alternative if you can’t find the old one: either South Seas (Resort Collection), Meridian (Teahouse Collection) or Luzon (Enchantment Collection) from Thibaut. And then a bit further down, you show Luzon in your basement bathroom! Too funny!

Oh the snow in your front garden, so beautiful ! Such a beautiful post. I can’t wait to see the drapes for your dining room when they are completed, I’m sure they will be devine. 🙂
