  32. Beth Giu says:

    Favorite?? Like I have to just pick one? I can’t! Baby animals of any kind always get me. The “Pretty In Pink” well she is just stunning! Everything is gorgeous.

    Carol, Kitties? Flowers? Beautiful interiors? What could be more wonderful? Thanks for the inspiration.

  34. Lee Gaitan says:

    What a lovely little beauty break. Exqusite taste in images, my dear! Loved them all.

  35. Angie Scheie says:

    Everything just makes me happy about this post! I think I’ll come back to it this week when I get down with current events lol.

  36. All refreshing and lovely, Carol. Minty fresh was my favorite as so inviting, light, and airy. Living in the midst of a dark, heavy winter makes me long for a respite in this room.

  37. Skipah says:

    Is this your subtle hint to me that you are going to fund my dream kitchen? I love you Carol that is the nicest thing anybody has ever done for me :).

  38. I enjoy everything pretty! Flowers, still life art and gorgeous decors are a few of my favorites pretty things to have.

  39. What an adorable idea. I love the puppy and kitty the best! Some of those bedrooms looked amazing though!

  40. Rose says:

    I like pink, gold and fluffy things. Whereas I don’t need a pink and gold fluffy dog! Gold accessories are nice. I like a little pink in my wardrobe. A nice fluffy dog or cat is a nice stress reliever.

  41. emma white says:

    That room is just stunning and how can I not go ohhhhhh how cute at that adorbale kitten

  42. Stacey W says:

    All of this made me smile!!!!

  44. Silly Mummy says:

    Ooh pretty! I love that blue 50s dress!

  45. Lovely! Always nice to look at inspiring images! The day bed gave me the idea of how I should re-do mine. It’s been in storage and I need to revamp it. This post goes so well with your tagline, too 🙂

  46. Lisa Rios says:
