    I love the monochromatic colors and the way the mirrors are lined up. You’re giving me some good decorating ideas for my own home.
    I’ve got to get cracking on painting over my children’s wall “frescoes”.

  2. ahhh all of those variations
    of cream… very restful and

    is gorgeous. Happy
    Week end !

  3. If I had a couch half as pretty as yours, I know I could sit all day. It’s gorgeous!!

  4. I love old couches! They don’t build em like they used to and most are not even pleasant to look at. This one…Beautiful!

    I love this monotone color! It’s so peaceful, how did you attain that?

    and a couch with lots of pillows is the best sitting-with-oneself kind of place!

    I love how you connect the idea of medicine and sitting. I wonder if more people just sat still… really, really, really still … if there would be less need for all the medicines.
