Quiet, beautiful moments...

We all could use some, to decompress, relax, and remember what it is all for.  I am tremendously grateful to all of my readers - it is you - your comments and support, that keep this going.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Sarah Jessica's Bright and Lovely Hampton's Home

It was very important to Sarah Jessica and hubby Matthew Broderick for their Hampton's home to be comfortable, and free of fuss. The house was originally featured in Elle Decoration UK - but it's also in Elle Decor's book, So Chic, so I'm not 100% positive... Her friend, Eric Hughes helped her achieve a relaxed abode by mixing antiques with thrift store finds and pieces from IKEA with custom-designed furniture.

Image tribute to Domino - great living rooms

Trust me fellow Domino mourners, there are many more tributes to come! I will be scouring the site thoroughly before they take it down. *tear* Today's tribute is to living rooms.


I like it when open floor plans use furniture (like these couches back-to-back), in place of walls

It's the color on this wall that gets me...gorgeous

I couldn't live with this wallpaper, but a lovely room



jewel tones aren't going anywhere my friends!

Not cozy enough for me, but the colors are dreamy!

A lovely vintage living room of Domino reader contest winner Lara Rossignol

Rashida Jones's instant hit of a living room.

One of the many before and afters Domino graced us with! I love how serene the room turned out - the perfect place to relax after work.

An amazing interior stylist...

The work of Lucyina Moodie really blew me away, and I'm really excited to share it with you. She also does product styling and people styling, so her work is really diverse and her talents span pretty wide. Doesn't this just seem like a dream job?

Gorgeous idea for loose flowers and old bottles

I'm definitely stealing this idea whenever I get around to making pillows - the ribbon around them is great!



I love the books on the stairs which almost act as a very short rail - I swear my parents have that dresser...




...so relaxing

This bedroom is making me miss summer a little




Gorgeous colors! I love fuchsia!









Go to her site to see more.

Spend more time in your living room

I spend most of my time in either the kitchen cleaning and working, or in my bedroom sleeping. But recently I've noticed I'm most relaxed in my living room - probably because I'm not often doing work there, but simply relaxing with a book or magazine. It's a real luxury that we could all use more of, and I hope these living rooms encourage you to spend a little more time in the living room!


so jealous of the great light in this room!






...love what they've done with the mantle here






I'd love an old rolling palette on wheels as a coffee table
