Jasna Janekovic Design

I want to share a sweet find today
Have you heard of a designer named Jasna Janekovic?

Her design makes me long for a warm spring weather
And some sweets :)

Her home is equally pretty
Like a blooming flowers in the Spring

Happy Friday!!

And wishing you a warm weekend :)

Girls' Day

We are celebrating girls' day today

We have decorated our house a few weeks ago

With Japanese dolls depicting a wedding of prince and princess

With ladies in waiting, musicians, new furniture for princess, and princess's carriage

Parents started ordering those dolls for their daughters many centuries ago

Hoping their girls will find a wonderful match and happiness in their marriage

Isn't it wonderful?

We women have more options today

But I still hope our girls find great partners

And happiness

For me

Today is a day of cooking :)

Making sushi

And many desserts

And one more important agenda of the day

I am giving hair cut to that little one

Who has been cutting her own hair in closet since she found out how fun it is to use scissors

And now she has short hair around her face

But she couldn't reach the back

So she ended up having that 80's hair style

...Yup

She has short hair from the front

But long hair from the back

...Maybe

... She just needs mustache

...And a truck to drive :)

Anyway

Can't wait to share our girls day with you tomorrow

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Romantic Homes

Good Morning!

I was reading Romantic Homes magazine
And wanted to share some of the pictures
Of a home near the village of Cognac, France

Don't we all love old house :)

Me...easily influenced and always redoing rooms

Just changed our dining table for breakfast
To cheerful red and white
After seeing this one last night :)

And rooms like this makes me happy
That I have three children ;)

Did you have a wonderful breakfast?

Wishing you good weather where ever you are

So you can take a nice walk

And taste fresh air :)

Happy Tuesday!!!

Dinner At American Girl Place

We had a dinner at a restaurant in American Girl Place

Because my sweet middle child is turning 8 :)

Our girls have dolls from American Girl

So we went and ate

And our girls brought one extra boy doll
Just for daddy
So that he won't feel sad
Not having his own doll to feed :)

And he won't feel sad
Not having a doll to hold while strolling at the mall

Girls....are kind creatures
...Sometimes too kind
It makes him wanting to cry
...For holding the doll while shopping ;)

At the end of the dinner
We got a heart shaped cake
A star shaped cookie
And a chocolate pudding
A very sweet day

Happy Birthday, my pumpkin!!!

Hello, Hello, Spring!

Hello, Spring!!

Now that sunshine is finally here

I want to share what I got for Valentine's day

....For myself ;)

I got a silver tea pot

So that I can get up 15 minutes earlier

And make a good cup of tea or coffee

To share every morning with my lovely husband :)

Life with three kids

Is hectic

And I have realized we all have been serving our own breakfast

And rushing out the door

And me...

Some days, I am driving in my pajama

Which no one knows...yet ;)

So a beautiful silver tea pot came to my life

To change my way

To let me enjoy small moments a little more

Sometimes

Sitting and sharing good cups of coffee

Is better than going to Starbucks

Do you have any new routine for small moments of happiness?

Happy Wednesday!

And have a wonderful afternoon!

Wednesday Inspiration

Hello, Wednesday
It has been raining here in LA

I found this restored hotel
In a tiny village of Perouges, France
Aren't they lovely?
Do you have any favorite quick getaway hotel?
Mine is Hadsten House in Solvang
And I am hoping to visit
Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake in northern California

They are both rescued by its owners
And restored beautifully

This hotel in Perouges
Is located throughout the village
Because the owner bought abandoned houses and turned them into hotel rooms
And here is the village of Perouges outside of Lyon
.....Doesn't it make us feel so unlucky to live too far away to snatch those beautiful abandoned homes?


Happy Wednesday
And stay dry :)

$5 Chandelier

I am finishing up with our white bedroom

Which used to be our den

It turned into our bedroom

With sitting area

Since we gave our bedroom to little Lauren

But the problem was

That apple of my eye didn't have any intention to sleep in her own room

She went there to hide and eat chocolat during the day

And came to our bed to sleep at night

So sweet Chloe came to rescue last night

She might have known already

That I might turn into a real owl soon

She happily slept with Lauren in her room

So thank you, Chloe

To take care of Lauren, the chocolate princess :)

Anyway,

I am almost done with our white bedroom

I am now trying to finish up the sitting area part

I found this wooden chandelier at a thrift store many months ago

Which was $10

But I bought it on yellow tag half off day

So I paid $5 for it

It used to look like this
So I painted it to match my new white bedroom
It is now hanging where sitting area will be

And yes
You might have noticed already
That I didn't take the picture of the chandelier very well
....I simply forgot
...To look at ceiling



Happy Tuesday!!!
Are you having a short week?
