A little slice of pretty before I go into muffled mode. My mother is visiting for 10 days so I won't have much time to indulge in my usual addictions. That is if you don't count kvetching about my mother as an addiction.
The following images from the blog Tipsee Tessie and were taken (if I understand this language unknown to me) at the Rice showroom in somewhere land. (I like to be precise. I think it is the mark of a good blogger.)
And here is more from this post I don't know where they were taken. I think in the house of the woman I wish were me. These images make me so happy. This is not something that can be explained.
My question to you is this: Would your man accept to live in a super girly environment? How much say does he have in your home's decor? After many, many years of marriage my husband has given up on fighting me. The secret truth he refuses to admit is that he totally digs it. Right?
My mother does not like my decor. That much is for sure. I won't be looking for validation there.
I know... kvetching already and her plane has not even landed.
I love it, really love it. But it is not only girly, it seems also preschool-y no? not your mature classical style of a house.

I love the big sink and the lamp in the last photo - and the pink enamel floors and the fun colors lots of eye candy .

Very colourful and pink - enough to lift your spirits.

Hi Corine,
It sounds like you gonna to have a fun time with your Mom. LOL. Could be worse - like ... having a mother in law at home for three months!
If our home was girlie, I think my husband would have divorced a long time ago (if not killed me!). Not easy to impose your views when you are the only woman at home (one husband, two sons BUT a female dog - not always supportive to me I have to say...). I started a new strategy a while ago: taking out of a drawer one of these girlie knick knack I love. One by one. Slowly. And it works. But I doubt I could turn our house in the colorful one you present. Too bad. It's lovely, refreshing and fun.
xoxo,
Anne

Soo uplifting and clean looking! A great encouragement to not be so grownup and instead make my daily life more fun. After all, the home should be a place of personal restoration and a source of happiness. Thanks for sharing!
