Relaxed Fit

Don't you just love this "carefree" feeling in this room?  I surely do! I admire this bold stripe rug that anchors the area and the simplicity of this table.  Put this with the mixed colorful chairs (gotta love it) and dash of colors in the throw pillows, along with the plain white walls and window treatments....and voila!  You now have all the makings of a relaxed and carefree design...that is no doubt..."Simply Irresistible".

Here's to you a relaxed and colorful day!

Ta-Ta!

Room "Bling"

Can you believe it is Monday already?  I simply can't.  I certainly hope each of you had a wonderful weekend.  This was my "clean out clutter" weekend and OH did we get much accomplished. What a great feeling that is...even though we aren't completely done yet. I just have the urge to simplify and get rid of everything we don't use or need any more.  This is a big undertaking and I think that is why we have put it off for so long. What did you do this weekend?


Lately, I have been captivated by...chandeliers.  Not just any chandelier, but ones that really make a statement...especially crystal chandeliers.  I just love them!  I think they add a whole different look and feel to just about any room.

This one is both unique and beautiful...look...it's a ship!  Isn't this something else! It's surely the eye candy in this room. 

I love the simplicity of this bathroom along with the added "bling" of this gorgeous chandelier....simply irresistible! This room design is more modern, but this chandelier is nothing shy of traditional....and it looks SO incredibly nice together!

What do you think of this one here in this dressing area?  Oh, I am not only wishing for a chandelier like this, but a closet too....and just so you'll know...I already have the POODLE! If this were my dressing area I'm sure she'd be perched right in this same place.

I like the whimsy of this one and it goes well with this room.  I just love that it is a "not the norm" kind of chandelier!

Oh my...look at this one...not one, but TWO in this sunroom.  That goes to show you that you can indeed use chandeliers in just about any room.  What do you think of them in a room like this?  Like or not?

Another lovely bathroom here with a small chandelier popped right in the middle of the room. 

Oh my...look!  This gorgeous crystal chandelier with this brick wall. I guess it's true that "opposites" do attract.  I love the ruggedness of the wall and then the elegance of the chandelier...it just works for me! What about you?

I hope you are off to a great start for this new week.  Be sure to make it a...blessed and "Simply Irresistible" Day!

 Ta-Ta for now.

From Clutter...to Beauty!

I have big plans for the week-end!  Plans to clean out some clutter in my house...see... they are "big" plans as it will be a big job indeed.  It's that time of year when I like to go through everything, closets and drawers, and donate anything that we don't use.  This time I'm not going to hang on to anything that I haven't worn or used in the past year....that's my new rule! I am "in the mood" to be clutter free.

My inspiration for this project was one I saw some time ago (can't even recall where it's from).  Look at this lovely organized jewelry drawer...I just loved it!

Everything is visible and easy to find.  Don't you just love the items that are used to hold this jewelry?  Look at how the earrings just dangle over the side of the cup...ah! I just thought this was a neat and beautiful way to display your jewelry.  So, I have gone over to Etsy to find a few vintage pieces that I could use to organize my very own jewelry drawer in this fashion. 

I was absolutely intrigued when I ran across this beautiful Royal Standard Footed Bone China Pink Roses and Gold Trio Teacup Saucer and Plate...I could certainly find a place to use this one, but it may NOT be in my jewelry drawer!!! 

Another sweet beauty - plain and simply - is this Limoges Double- Handed Cup and Saucer from Haviland & Co. France.

I thought this little unique one could also serve a purpose in my jewelry drawer with it having sections. Let's see, what pieces would it hold?

I think I'll add this little vintage cup and saucer with violets too.  I could see some of my earrings hanging around the inside of this beauty...and some rings around the base perhaps.

And for this Limoges, Theodore Haviland, late 1800's to 1904, cup and saucer...a must have! It's so delicate and beautiful.

 

What's not to love about adding a Vintage Fenton Bowl to my collection in my drawer...and it's PINK! 

And you know I must have a PINK Victorian style saucer for my collection.  I love the design and the gold trim around the edges. 

Well, I do believe I have made my selections for organizing my new jewelry drawer...these along with a few antique plates given to me by my dad (and antique lover and collector!).  You know, if we could make all of our organizing this fun, pretty, and colorful...I do think my entire house just "may" be completely organized...how about yours?  Are you inspired to get some drawers cleaned out and clutter free? Then let us know if you have any unique ideas such as this to better organize your areas.  We'd love to hear your tips and ideas?

Whatever you do...have a "Simply Irresistible" weekend!
