good Sunday, my friends!
i hope all of you are feeling well.
yesterday, was the first day since Christmas, that we were able to
have a nearly complete family gathering, where the only reason for
missing the party was work related, and not due to the flu or a winter cold!
it has been a tough flu season. those in our circle friends and family who
boast, "i never get sick", have also landed down for the count for a few days.
Mr D returned to work on Tuesday. we welcomed the Monday holiday to allow
him one more day of recovery. although, i didn't miss a full day of work,
my energy has been zapped since the third week of January.

February has once again gifted the welcome reality of
leaving for, and arriving home from work...in the daylight!
the day after Valentines Day has prompted the first inkling of...Spring!
the transition of winter into spring...
reminds me of George Winston. i remember adding his
music to my commute to Seattle repertoire in 1982. it was my
effort to ad a little culture to my pregnant self.

i have been wanting to redo our bedroom for a long, long, time.

i have been wanting to redo our bedroom for a long, long, time.
i find inspiration in the rooms that have styled and photographed
by Meagan Camp. i blogged about Meagan after i became acquainted
with her in an issue of Rue magazine in 2011.
i was taken by her layering of mixed style elements in her photographs above.
i love the brass "kiss and hug", the fabulous basket filled with beautiful
vintage linens at the foot of the bed, and the adorable snuggle-inviting pooch.
the image says "it's a perfect Sunday afternoon, jump on board
for a read, a blog session...or... why not a little snooze with Fido?!"
(what this space speaks at night, whether it is illuminated by the moon, or that
very cool wall mounted reading light, evokes additional daydreams. )
recently, another one of her bedroom, (or in this case, bed space)
statements of style popped up on my sidebar. Meagan is big at defining space.
her latest challenge is renovating and decorating her one room cottage
at Rhinebeck.
the duvet and shams are from Ikea...yes, Ikea.
if you would like, you can read about the design process of this space, here.

Mr D and i have a queen size brass bed. we deliberated about replacing it with
a king size with a wooden headboard and moving the brass queen to the guest
bedroom. it was decided to stay with the brass queen.
the design process begins !

enjoy your week!
