    You make your home look so inviting and comfortable. The benches are great but it looks even more beautiful as the bed. Is your pool warm? We have to wait until the end of May to open the pool, oh I would so be spending all my day by your pool. I have a question for you, do you garden too? If so, please share pictures. Have a wonderful week.

    Simply Beautiful, I love Atlanta Bartlett too! I wanted to add how much I love your choice of linens, especially the pillow shams, and that they have a casual look with the ruffles.

    beautiful! i could lie there all day and indulge in that book...that's my idea of a perfect afternoon!!
    i have always wanted to get an army cot like rachel shows in her books, where it's outside piled with pillows and duvets, or on the beach. love how you captured the same look with your lounge chairs! also, i hope you get to stay at rachel's prairie ranch someday...i bet that would be a dream come true for you!!

    There's that purse, suits the book and Pellegrino water wonderfully, Tausha (I'm having a glass now). Thank you for mentioning me and my blog, so sweet of you!

    You home is beautiful and you do a magnificent job decorating it and photographing it. I love Rachel Ashwell and her Shabby Chic-Target or not. I have it in three rooms of my home. You inspire me to do more. I love the chandelier in your bedroom.

    Your pale soft pillows look like marshmellows and just as soft. What a perfect place to sit in the sun with all the right ingredients. x

    I love the way the roses are piled up in your pictures - abundant, lush and elegant.
    One feels relaxed and pleasantly light-minded just looking at these photos.
    Also, the bag caught my eye - such a fine piece. Is it crocheted?

    Okay, gotta ask because the flowers are just too beautiful...are they real? If they are, you must have the most amazing rose beds.
    Your pictures are just dreamy.

    YES YES YES all my pictures are of real flowers... I had a garden, up until we put our pool in, it was not big but i had Rose tress. roses are the easiest for me to take care of. So now i have to start all over... I buy my flowers, from Grocery Stores, Super targets,and South Florida where i visit a lot, i get buckets filled for cheap...lol It was once my dream to open a flower shop but to sell only in buckets....
