" Soft and Simple Spring "


Soft and simple

is the motto here in the Dior home.

I love how the simple beauty 

of nature is just enough

to color my world happy and content...




Nature draws me in while

offering me a peaceful surrounding.





The beauty of the neutral palette

is how a subtle color will come alive...








  Together along with other elements...








Creating a softness that calms...








Using a few elements of the sea...








Using some of my lavender that I dry

outdoors to bleach

a soft warm tone that I love for our home...






I'm linking up with my favorite gals in

blog land this week..

Have a beautiful and blessed week!

    Raw, natural, calm, a place that shelters your heart.

    Love the simple uncluttered feeling, making it a place one can rest their thoughts on.

    Beautiful Kate. I just love white and have a lot of it in my home. I find it to be so peaceful and soothing to me. I lean more toward the shabby chic and victorian style.

    Kate, your lovely home always bring such a feeling of serenity. Whenever I glance over the links on SYC I can quickly identify yours. It truly does have a calming effect. Love your gorgeous urns and the shutter both sideways and standing. Bless you my sweet friend! Thanks for opening your home and sharing it with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann
