Mod Mix Monday #179 Take Two

via

So at work..I've had a running disagreement with several of the other designers about 

the use of pastels in decor. You know I love them.
They hate them.
(they are wrong)

Apartment Therapy just did an article listing pastels as a hot trend from 2014 that is 

still going strong into 2015.

I don't care about trends...pastels done in a fresh way make me happy. 

Besides that apartment above is in Paris...and we all know how chic Paris is!

I shared my favorites from last time's Mod Mix Monday last week but it was mid week
so here they are again. Please link up your posts below.

Thanks so much for all your kind words of support from my post on my year in review.

I love blogging and I'm really missing not being here more.

Your comments made me want to keep going when I feel like "What is the point?"

This week was rough. We lost our little Daisy.
She was sister to my Violet.
She was only 14...I hate that our little dogs don't live longer.

That is Daisy on the left with her sister Rosie. Rosie is a full sister but one year younger.
These photos were taken when Mom was at my house two years ago recovering from heart surgery.
Those seem like good times now.

Here are all of them in the bed...only one missing is Franklin.

I still remember the day we brought Daisy home. She was only 7 weeks...she grumbled all the way to the house in the car.
She was grumbling the day she died. Knowing that grumble meant she was not happy...
just about kills me.
Their little lives are just too darn short.

Sorry to be sad.....I'm really struggling the last few days.
Wondering why I do any of the things I do and does it even matter?

I'll be better next week. I hope.

Let's get to the party...

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.

Please join in this week's Mod Mix Monday!

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 

Cochrane Design.

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!

 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.

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....
