The Bluebird Patch

Buddha's Bowtie A bow tie is the perfect finishing touch to any Southern gentleman's attire. I gave Buddha a more preppy look so he can match my decor. Whatcha ya think? Do you like Buddha's makeover? I think the bold red color somehow makes Buddha feel a tad mischievous.

Spruce up your home decor with these one-of-a-kind hand-stitched birds from Abigail Brown. Abigail produces her birds entirely by hand, in her studio in London, England. They are crafted from both new and reused materials. Each piece is utterly unique, no two pieces will ever be the same. You can find her birds available for sale in the shop. She has enjoyed coverage in magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle Decoration and Selvedge, been included in books published in Germany, USA, UK, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and has sold her work through many beautiful stores including Liberty in London, Takashimaya in New York, Bensimon in Paris, Paul Smith in both London in Paris and through smaller but equally exquisite boutiques the world over.   Her work centres around animals because they fascinate and inspire her. I really hope she gets inspired by Bluebirds next time. I can only imagine how incredibly beautiful the final product would be.  ...

By looking at these pictures what type of design style you think suit me best? I'm still not sure how to name my style preference... I LOVE the colors of this office and the black and white pictures on the background.

I'm really digging the softness and femininity of this room. For some reason I am very drawn to mirrored  chest and side tables.   They look so glam!! I DIE!!!! For this room. Love the floor to ceiling windows. I love Zebra rugs, fancy crown molding and  crystal chandeliers. Are you feeling me. I love  how everything   is monochromatic except for the yellow sofa. Loves it!!   This is a dream of mine. I swear one day.... it will come true :)      I can see my daughter...

According to a recent study our surrounding environment  has a significant impact on our immunological system and our ability to heal. Therefore, the way we decorate our home starting with wall color,  furniture arrangement, and use of space can enhance or damage our health.   Dr. Esther Sternberg, expert on neural-immune science and author of The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions, is a leading researcher exploring the connections between the areas of the brain that control immunity with those that generate feelings and thought. She makes a convincing case about how a comforting environment can aid physical healing.
