1. Colorful Carpet
This new rug from Home Goods is nice on the feet and
makes my chores in here a bit nicer.
2. Handsome Dog From Boston
This dude is not going to get pinched on St. Patrick’s Day.
Yes, his dog polo shirt is from Ralph Lauren but he has a very limited wardrobe
(and the old boy deserves it).
3. Pretty Spring Flowers
How do you say/spell these soft, lacy flowers?
Ranunculus…I just Googled it.
4. Tangerine Geometric
My new tangerine (so hottt right now) linen pillows from Mitchell Gold
(they were at the 50% off sale) make me happy.
I’m also liking that little, bright green plant if it will cooperate
and stay alive. Tip: go outside and clip some greenery to bring inside.
5. Scent of Lavender
Speaking of outside…our lavender plants are blooming again.
6. Pattern Play
I like this Jonathan Adler pillow with the houndstooth check from
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and paisley fabric on our living room sofa.
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and paisley fabric on our living room sofa.
But since these fabrics have wool in them (read: Wintery)…they will be rotating out soon.
7. New Fun Read
My autographed copy of “The Joy of Decorating” by Phoebe Howard.
It’s a good one.

Beautiful post as always, and I love the burst of color on the floor courtesy of Home Goods and those divine chair covers in the dining room.
I do not know why I do not have lavender, but seeing yours, it would surely remind me of Paris and Provence. I'll have Mr. Green Thumb get some tomorrow!
Grab Alie and join us in Paris again! We will be at the same apartment and you already know the way!
Bises,

I really like your wall and trim paint colors in your laundry room. I think they would be perfect in my kitchen. Would you mind sharing what they are? Thanks! By the way, your house looks beautiful!

P.S. We scored a coffee table at the MG + BW sale, since it was a floor sample we got it also for 50% off. I loving that right now, especially because they still carry it but now it's full price.

I love so many more things about your beautiful home. Everything is beautiful. I wouldn't mind doing laundry in such a nice area. Great rug. The "OLD MAN" would have been right at home in Savannah today. BIG celebration here!
Happy Saint Patricks Day! Ginger

I've been on a bicycle trip all week and away from a computer, and I am catching up while resting my muscles. We have two more weeks of cycling to go, but I'll have internet. This post was great. I pinned several photos. Please let me know where you got your kitchen rug. I have an area in our kitchen that I planned to turn into a sitting area when we were remodeling. But when the kitchen table was carried in, the movers put it there, and it has stayed. I miss my kitchen lounge area that we had in our last house.

Of all the beautiful things you shared, the handsome dog takes the cake! He's quite dapper.
Favorite things around my house right now? I don't have anything new to speak of, but I'm loving the Celtic music I have playing on Pandora, and of course my pooch. She's outside enjoying the mid-70s temps while my husband mows the lawn. Happy St. Patty's Day!

You have such a lovely home and a stylin' doggie! I'm loving the anticipation of spring even though it's raining here in Irvine today! I think ranunculus (according to Sunset garden book) are second only to peonies for me as far as flowers. As far as 'things' I'm loving in my home, I found a little cloche at Williams Sonoma and I've got a nest and quail eggs under it in the kitchen, it makes me smile.
