Lazy Day!

It's Monday and we know what that means- back to work! Well, I am taking the day off and going to just be lazy. This is where I would like to be eating sweets and sipping on my tea relaxing in the sun! Later go take a dip in the pool! Oh... this would be the perfect day for me right now!

Could you imagine living in a place like this- well actually people do of course- I just wish I was one of them! The land is breathtaking!

Bricks and Stone

I really like bringing the feel of the outside brick into the home. My favorite is around a fireplace or on a back wall in a kitchen. I like stone but it would not be my first preference. But please do check out some of these great rooms! Xo Daisy~
