{décor | storage inspiration : on display}

. . . and the weather was so beautiful today, it's becoming clear that it will be increasingly difficult to concentrate on work [or any matter indoors] in the days and weeks to come, and with all this brightness and buds on trees and newly unfurled petals in devastating shades of lavender and dusky violet, there comes also, the feverish need to clean and sort and organise anew, and here, when all the feverishness is over, there will be glass cases for storage & display, for everything, from towels and bottles of perfume in the powder room, folded rows and hangers of clothes in the bedroom, and most of all, for favourite pairs of shoes . . .

{have a beautiful weekend & a few lovely links}

. . . the place is in a state of disarray, for, instead of spring cleaning, it's winter cleaning, for, as you know, currently in the midst of some very exciting things that involve a bit of upheaval, and so, this weekend is red wine in cut crystal glasses, films and flower shops and photographs, a romantic dusting of snow on these [cosy] chilly nights, and love, love, love . . .

hope you're having an astonishingly wonderful weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{storage inspiration: time-worn wood & glass}

. . . if you have been reading for a while, you will know about a mad love for storage on display, and whether shoes or a perfume collection, all the pretty little things about the house are easily transformed into works of art, when displayed in a beautiful glass cabinet . . .

{storage inspiration: silver trays & julep cups}

. . . whether gold leaf or silver, seem to be on the topic of trays quite a bit recently, for storage and for display, whether it is used for a few favourite scents [above], or an array of beautiful compacts [below], everything always seems a little more refined when displayed on an elegant tray . . .





. . . and currently, make-up brushes, touche éclat, q-tips, and tortoise-shell combs reside in finished diptyque glass candle holders, but perhaps, julep cups in silver and gold may be a lovely change . . .

{two lovely things: a place for everything}

. . . and while on the topic of perfume bottles & lip gloss scattered about on desks and vanities, absolutely adore the idea of wicker baskets to keep everything in its place, from shoes in the entryway to books beside the bed . . .

{two lovely things: lace & leopard print}

. . . while there is undoubtedly a noticeable crispness in the late-september air, the sun still shines brightly and the afternoons are still warm; at home, while quite adore cosy nights in front of the fire, not nearly ready to stow away white bed linens, and so, perhaps best to take things slowly, mixing late-summer and early-autumn in patterns and textures like lace and leopard print . . .
