How about a bunch of simple lovely moments,
many of which were found via one of my
all time favorite blogs: Decor De Provence?

Blogger Desiree has the best eye and
collects inspiration from around the globe
as evidenced by these images.
Her own home and work were recently
featured in Country Living magazine,
and I'm a big fan of them both.

What makes it simple lovely for me?
A spirit of tranquil beauty that doesn't show off.

On a personal note...
Things are bare around here...
I have donated/sold half of my things,
as it felt time to let go and begin
a new simple lovely chapter.
Of course there is a bittersweetness
to the process, but what a gift
when your true treasures
come into clearer
focus without
excessive
clutter.
I am exhausted and will be
moving into a temporary home
as we consider a new address.
I hope to adapt quickly and peacefully,
and I thank you dearly for all the encouragement.
Peace to you right where you are.

Beautiful and so charming....like a breath of fresh spring air, I totally get the appeal. How exciting for you to be starting a new chapter!! I am sure its bittersweet, moves always are...but I have a feeling its onto bigger and better things, change is good, keeps you young:) Best of luck in the days ahead as you forge a new path.......
ReplyDeleteMerci, Tina. I hope to make the next space enchanting a la the enchanted home. :)
DeleteMichele thank you for the beautifully selected photo essay. Change for us too with updates and remodeling. I've been donating lots and its been healing and freeing. Even in your temporary home you will fill it with beauty and grace because sweet woman that's who you are.

Oh Vera, how kind you are, you lovely one!
DeleteI'm all for simple, lovely moments are there are so many of them here today, Michele. I'm thinking about you and the change you are facing. Never easy, but to get to the wonderful things that life has in store for us next, necessary. It's pretty uncomfortable, though. Sending peace and calm your way - the best part is that you have so much beauty, you will certainly carry it with you wherever you are. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanne. Hopefully the hardest part is over. Homeless we are!
DeleteThese are all so "it". Don't you just love that white tubular fireplace! I've been wondering how you are doing. Moving.... ehhhhh , so much work, and such a big transition. I hope you find your new home soon, it's hard to think of you in a temporary space.

Ha! I will post pics soon so my friends don't fret too much. It is a limbo time for sure. Love to you, Cindy.
DeleteDon't you just love Desiree's style? Always so soothing & calming. So similar to you. I so understand your downsizing, but as freeing as it is, it's always difficult to make these changes. As women we are tied to our "nest". May you find the perfect nest for your new home.
ReplyDeleteThank you, lovely lady.
DeleteI like the way French style will juxtapose .. adds so much interest to any space. Desiree's certainly has an amazing eye for décor. That fireplace is amazing and I love the art work in the first photo. Beautiful photos! Hope you are enjoying your day Michele! xxL
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie. Des is a superstar!
DeleteSo much beautiful on here today, sweet Michele! You never fail to share beautiful.
