i ❤ hue…Benjamin Moore

Ok, I think I’m in love (sorry husby)…with with Benjamin Moore. Not the man…the color. Sea Isle #751. I believe this is the one to officially grace the walls of my dream boudoir. I found this inspirational photo on one of the blogs I follow, houseofturquoise.com. The room was designed by Roberts Erickson Design, whose …

Hollywood History: Madeleine Carroll

I often say that if I had one wish (besides the obvious wishes that would take first priority, like saving the world and good health and wealth for all) I would wish for the chance to go back in time. It would be difficult for me to pinpoint one specific era, but I tend to …

Celebrity Boudoir: Mariah Carey

Celebrity Boudoir…another monthly post series. Each month I will share photos of a fabulous celebrity boudoir. Ok, well, some may be truly classified as a dressing room or closet, but they are so glamorous that I would consider them worthy of being called a boudoir.

Upcycling: Granny Gold to Girly Glamour

I love it when I find a garage sale where you truly feel like you’re stepping back in time (as long as it’s from a fabulous era). I stopped at a garage sale this past fall, and it was clear that everything belonged to an elderly woman who had held onto her precious items her …

135 Days…

During a recent visit to the theater to see Nine, I was thrilled to be able to view the trailer for Sex and the City 2 during the previews. Let me tell you…that was worth the price of admission alone. On May 28, 2010, women across the globe will delight in an afternoon away from …
