Open House Sunday

London Calling.....
A Grand London Residence
 Ah....a flat in London. I guess this is quite a bit more than a flat...it's a townhouse by 
A grand entrance for a grand home.
I love these blue gray velvet sofas with the greige walls. 
This just illustrates how cold and warm grays can work together.
 There are several living spaces in the home.

This space just off the dining room...or rather at the end of the open dining room.
 Modern yet...traditionally inspired kitchen.
What do you think of the light fixtures? They are gorgeous...but I feel just too big.
I know they are suppose to be big...but I think they are just too much.
It's a great kitchen though.
 Lots of pretty marble. Very unusual tile floor. 
 Another sitting area...this time just off the kitchen.
Do you like the dark gray cabinets?
Navy walls in this little room create high style and yet it's cozy.
 
Now this is quite the bath. Adore the huge tufted ottoman.

 This is the only view of a bedroom.


The back yard has a very formal patio!
That outdoor fireplace does not look like an outdoor fireplace at all!

Mod Mix Monday #179

 Bed for a Princess. Last time I posted I talked about Prince Charming.
I can imagine feeling just like a princess sleeping in this bed. 
It's not fancy or anything it's just whimsical in a royal yet bohemian way.

These were my favorites from last time's Mod Mix Monday.
It's now Wednesday so let's just wait till next week and try again.
Shall we?
Working full time is eating my lunch or rather my blog.
 Orphans With Make Up shared her top blog posts of 2014.
Karen of Somewhat Quirky Design shared her favorite projects of 2014.
 Marianne of Macca took photos of first snow.
Just lovely
Redo It Yourself Inspirations gave us an after Christmas tour.
This photo made me laugh out loud. A monkey riding a weenie dog like a horse.
I think that is the perfect end to a perfect Christmas.

So usually this time each year I've posted things I accomplished last year and things I hope 
to accomplish in the coming year. 

But I'm not even going to try to pretend like I have it together.
The only major things I did last year were to quit a job, get a new job...get fired from that job and find another.

Big 2014 it was for me!
Said sarcastically

Really I feel like 2014 was a big fat fail blogwise. 
But I guess the fact that I'm still here...speaks for something.

I'll keep trying....

Charming

"I was taught to be charming not sincere". 
Have you seen "Into the Woods"?
I saw it the day after Christmas and have to say....Chris Pine stole the whole movie for me.
He looks to be the perfect Prince Charming...who it turns out, is not so perfect.
Oh...yes...that is how Prince Charming is suppose to look.
 and this is how Prince Charming rides a horse
and the boy can sing!
Have you seen the movie?
What did you think?

Chris Pine was far and away my favorite thing about the movie.

I'll be back tomorrow with Mod Mix Monday.
