Fall always has me feeling on the country side of cottage. I'm trying out sage green today.
The smallest of changes can produce a big impact in plain rooms like this antique pieced quilt does. Even the pale color is a standout. Add a sage green basket, a green trimmed bowl, and you have a whole new mood. I add a few things. . . . I take them away again. . . . I still feel best with a quiet spareness for now.
A weathered ironstone jug from our rambles through Utah this summer joins the collection in the cabinet.
One of my big recent inspirations is a life less ordinary by Zoe Ellison, and Alex Legendre of i gigi general store, Brighton, England.
The best gift I have given myself of late. All soft, warm, and gorgeous like an early autumn afternoon.
I've been nursing a cold. The day has turned blustery. Mellow and jazzy Coffee House tunes are playing on my satellite radio. I think I'll take it easy for a while longer.
How's your week been going?
I hope you're finding wonderful inspirations of your own. . . .

My eye was drawn immediately to that gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreen is so soft and serene with your whites....wishing you a wonderful weekend.
You find the most amazing books to read and look over for inspiration. The green quilt caught my eye. Every time I find a quilt I like, I pull up the price tag and almost pass out from the price.
ReplyDeleteComing over to visit you is always inspiration in itself. I am not big on green, but do love the simple white and green quilt, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better real soon.

ReplyDeleteJacqueline ~ love your sage green and white quilt! I did my kitchen in those exact colors and I never tire of their refreshing clean look. Those colors are very calming to me.
ReplyDeleteOur fall is still warm and quite dry, most unusual for here, but I'm sure colder, damp days are coming soon.

Beautiful ironstone jug. I love sage green, have just ordered some bedroom furniture which will be painted in Farrow & Ball's vert de terre. Can't wait for it to arrive.
ReplyDeleteHello Jacqueline, I love all of the soft colors and the whites. The sage green and white quilt reminds me of sleeping over at my grandmothers farm in the winter. There was no central heat and we would all huddle together under lovely quilts like this one. It is a very pleasant memory for me. Your home evokes the wonderful images of Grannies farmhouse. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I always love your vignettes. They create such a feeling of calm and serenity. You have such a knack with styling and photography.
ReplyDeleteOh, you find the best decor books ever! Love this! Hope your feeling back on track soon! Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!

Your rooms are such a retreat, Jacqueline. Whenever I see a corner of your home it's so easy to imagine sinking down into a chair and vanishing into your home's warmth. It's surprising how that little touch of sage changes that corner of the room. I hope you're ejoying your new book!
