Let’s start with my utmost favorite pretty much 5 minute fix. Can you guess what that might be?…

Fresh flowers. Yes I know…what a shock:~)
I was super excited to find the most beautiful selection of roses this week at Whole Foods for just $10 a dozen. In lots of different colors and shades too! Considering the fact that Valentine’s Day is coming in just a couple of weeks you know that the price is going be be sky high, so I treated myself to few dozen this week…
Combining florals in jars with books is so simple yet lovely, and a grand sized container such as the olive bucket makes a dramatic statement. That’s all you need sometimes…

Florals are definitely the easiest way to add romance to any room, setting or vignette. When the price and selection are this great I use real. When it’s not, I either clip native florals from my travels while walking the dogs (on vacant lots or fields) or I use faux. Quality silk faux is what I prefer…

Ruffles speak romance…

Yes…I just may have pulled every ruffle stop in the book on this one, but you don’t have to be drastic and a light layering will do the trick…

I know that you are going to ask, so the bedding is from the Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture line and is called the Petticoat Collection. Very dreamy (no pun intended:~)…
romantic room designs - crystal and brass chandelier
I’m completely obsessed with chandeliers and have a long standing love affair with crystal beading. Give me a room with a good chandelier and a place to sit and I’m good to go!…

I’ve been fortunate to come across some beauties over the years that I have been selling vintage and antiques, and to me they are the jewelry in a room. A little glitz. Romantic room candy…

A room is not complete without gorgeous lighting, so when I work on any space I make sure to save some budget for that purpose. Above are some of my favorite finds, all vintage European pieces with macaroni beading…

    just stunning! I'm not that much of a ruffle guy – but you got me with the fresh roses and chandeliers! I'm right there with you! I adore them both – and enjoy living with them (though not dusting all the prisms throughout the house – ah, for the days of full-time help!)
