I love Versailles. Whenever we go to Paris, we always make sure to stay a couple nights in Versailles. I can’t resist the gardens and parks outside of the chateau. We love to stay in The Trianon Palace and always reserve a park view room. It is incredibly pastoral with animals peacefully grazing in the [...]

Unbelievably, Spring is on its way! I can hardly believe how fast January and February flew by. With Spring’s arrival this year comes a particularly sweet arrival for us.. A trip to Paris in April. J’adore la ville-lumière! I have often wondered why France in general and Paris are branded on the hearts of so [...]

I love to sleep. Some people may think that this is a lazy quality that one may have, but I beg to differ. I am a severe multi-tasker and there is literally never enough time in a day. So if I have the opportunity to sleep, I will take it in a heartbeat! I have always [...]

Sometimes as I watch a movie, I get as involved with the house as I do the movie. Who can forget how fun it was to see the Backlot Tour at your first Disney trip? I can still remember the little train driving past the Golden Girl’s house. Of course I wanted to move in with Aunt Polly in Pollyana or [...]

Seasons affect our affection for different colors. To me January, February and March just beg for neutral style. Nude never goes out of style, but especially at this time of year, I’m in love with nude. It feels fresh and inspiring, timeless and profound. Veranda magazine showcases the essence of Nude in these beautiful rooms. [...]

OK. I have always been “particular” about my bedding. Look, it’s where you spend 1/3 of your life! There are certain things that are really “standard” in my opinion and everyone who sleeps should adhere to these simple rules. Life is so much better when you have a delicious bed to jump into every night. [...]
