Jules Reid at home

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jules Reid's story in Matchbook Magazine this month. As busy mother (i'm not sure if a man lives in this house, but it doesn't really look like it) and business owner myself it was refreshing to read about how this very talented lady made amazing things happen for herself! Her home and gorgeous clothing line are equal parts chic + whimsical! I've been keeping an eye open for a little cottage for myself and little ones. It's nice to see such a quaint, warm, welcoming, causal home in print! 

This emerald leather vest is amazing, as is her outdoor porch!

I'm loving the quadrille wallpaper and her necklace in this colorful shot.

Her entire outfit is adorable. I think I need to get my hands on her purple and orange dress, very David Hicks inspired indeed!

Same name and initials as moi?? I think I need these jewelry boxes in my life someday soon!

 

back to reality

Hello, Hello! I apologize for the silence, I was taking a much needed mini-vacation to the Caribbean! (ahhh love it there). I'm officially back to reality but I'm still dreaming a little. I've decided that for my semi-retirement in about 27 years I'd like to own a little villa some place. I'd be very happy if it looked a exactly like this. I would of course extend an open invite to family and friends! It would also be for rent when I wasn't escaping for a couple of months during the winter!! A girl can dream right?? I'd better start my "cottage account" today! Hope your winter is going well, it feels like Spring is just around the corner in Boston today! 

This beautiful "cottage" is located in the Bahamas and is by designer Tom Scheerer. (I think it may even be his vacation place). I'm sure you've caught a glimpse of it before but it's amazing, so I thought I'd share it again. I love all Tom's "beach" projects.

Limed wood perfection!
