    May 14, 2012 by Stephanie

    2 Since the recent move to California *my home state!!!*... Bonnie Forkner of Going Home to Roost has made a lovely nest for herself :) What was once a barn... complete w. hay loft... is now a bright... spacious abode popping w. color & life. Everything is kind of mis*matched... yet beautifully so... which makes the home REAL & ATTAINABLE vs. what you might find in staged homes. A cozy cottage indeed. Well done Mz. Thang... 3 snaps & a hip bump are acomin' your way! {Images Wait! There is More...

  2. {Inspired by Marrakesh}

    May 13, 2012 by Stephanie

    180707003767721684_kVOwwbOl_c Stumbled across a collection of fabulous images documenting Morrocan architecture & design... & what can I say? I exited the browser feeling inspired & am now convinced that Marrakesh will be my permanent residence rather than Paris :) If it is not already obvious... I like to dream... A LOT... mostly because reality tends to consist of work & money... but without the worry of one or the other... the world is where it's at! *Note to Self: SELF... find a job that will pay me well to Wait!

  4. {St. Regis Hotel in Shenzhen}

    May 3, 2012 by Stephanie

    IMG_4870 Consider yourselves lucky. I am much too lazy on this sweaty... humid... pore-clogging morning to bother with beautifying my photos. If you ever decide to dilly dally on over to my foodie & travel blog... it may or may not be obvious that I am a GINORMOUS fan of photo editing. Seriously... who wouldn't want to look at a recently snapped photo of a half-eaten croissant that looks like it was taken a quarter of a century ago?! Pur-eeety ah-mazing. Now... let's talk about work. I'm not a fan. Wait! There is More...

  5. {Featured Home: PG Goes to Brooklyn}

    April 24, 2012 by Stephanie

    1 Oh my Lawdy... it must have been a year *at least* since my last 'Featured Home' post. I was in search of a fabulous vintage home because 'Anthropologie Vintage' seems to suit my style more than any other... and I came across this Brooklyn townhome. Many of the furniture pieces were designed or refurbished by a local Brooklyn shop... Nightwood... and I cannot imagine a more inviting space for a book club... or scrap booking... or afternoon tea... or lounging... and well... you get the idea :) Even Wait! There is More...

    April 16, 2012 by Stephanie

    il_fullxfull_242519286 Beautiful wreath using a variety of succulents. DIY instructions via BHG. You may recall from a previous post my obsession w. orchids & succulents. My orchids... BTW... are alive & well :) A true miracle for a brown-thumber such as myself. Succulents are extremely low-maintenance *which I love* and absolutely gorgeous as a centerpiece... in the garden... in terraniums... and now... as a wreath :) Wait! There is More...

    March 31, 2012 by Stephanie

    PG Fashion for Home is a UK based shop that values sustainability & environmental responsibility.
