In that kind of mood

It's raining outside

There's lightening and thunder

I can hear the wind in the trees

And I can smell the fragrance of rain on parched earth

All I would like to do

Is listen to music

Something like this

Or maybe this

Have a glass of wine and a stack of unread books next to me

And

Lounge

Do nothing, but lounge

 

Yes, 

This post is about lounging

In beautiful rooms, looking at beautiful views

When it rains

For that's exactly the kind of mood I am in, today evening :)

 Oh, and the men can lounge too

For we are an equal opportunity blog!

Color me tender..

Color me true

All my dreams fulfilled

For my darling

I love You

And I always will

[Elvis Presley, just for you]

This, I imagine, is what these rooms and corners must have been singing, as Rikki Snyder photographed them. Such bright colors and hues, straight out of a summer garden. See more of Rikki's brilliant portfolio right here!

Precisely what I needed today. That song, and all this color :)

Some days are made of these

Who Am I To Disagree

The deep blue of the sea

Delicate flowers on a rustic table 

Miniature paintings on the wall

The warmth of a kilim pillow

The charm of a desk by the window

The texture of a linen throw

Those flowers against the black door

These flowers on a rustic table

Sunlight streaming through stained glass

And oh, Morocco!

Some days are made of these...

[Inspiring me today: This one, that one, and always this]

What is there to know

 All this is what it is

You and me alone 

(oh, and An Indian Summer)

Sheer simplicity

For your listening pleasure

Kings of Convenience

And

For your viewing pleasure

Sheer simplicity, is exactly what I love about these rooms and spaces, photographed by the brilliant photographer Enrique Menossi. No grand furniture pieces, no statement art, no rich embroidered textiles or expensive rugs - just plain simple aesthetics of color and texture working together to create beautiful livable spaces.

Ooh...look at all the linen bed furnishing in these bedrooms...
simple, yet so very elegant

A song and some rooms..

...Is what I have for you today

Here is the song

And here are some rooms

Pretty rooms, of course

 I won't dream of sharing any thing less with you

For you are my favorite peeps :) 

Such a guy's room this.. 

Love the bedside table covered in raw silk

 What a fab idea, the painted bottles!
