A Hint of Fall at Home

I am getting ready to welcome Fall into my home :) This is a shot of a corner in my living room with the sun streaming in. Today is a busy day for me.......and I am popping in to say a quick hello :)  A few simple touches can make a home look different. Do you make changes to welcome the new season? I would love to hear from you.

I like the way these two tea lights add a hint of Fall in my home :)

Come Fly With Me to Kenya!!

Hello! Today I am taking you to an island in the Indian Ocean. Manda Bay is a small private lodge on Manda Island in Northern Kenya’s Lamu / Kiwayu archipelago.  An exclusive resort, the Manda Bay is the ultimate in luxury in a relaxed and informal setting.
 
The buildings in the resort have been built using palm and driftwood. This  seems to be the perfect place to run to.......far away from the madding crowd :)
 
Now switching back to reality at my end. I had a great Labor day weekend. Today was the first day of school for both my kids. This morning was certainly eventful and a shock to my system. No more late nights for me :) Thankfully the kids seem happy to get back to school!!
 
Hope your week is coming along well?

A Makeover Of A Home Dating Back to 1925.

I love makeovers and anything with a history..... therefore the rehabilitation of a home dating back to 1925 piqued my curiosity!

I am amazed at the transformation of this two-storey detached house in Madrid. I really love the bright and cheerful look of this home. It looks very inviting......don't you think?

A Mini Beach Vacation!!

A sunny day and a holiday almost always involves a road trip for my family. We do not travel very far from home and yet we love our mini breaks. Today was one such day. After running a few errands we drove an hour and a half away from home to Cama Beach. My kids had a blast collecting the sea shells lying around on the rocky beach. I have to sheepishly admit that I enjoyed it as much as they did :) It was really a lot of fun!! My parents are heading back home soon and I have been feeling sad! However, today was the perfect farewell to a beautiful summer!

Monday is a holiday here in the States. My mini beach vacation made for a great weekend :-)

Have a wonderful week ahead.......
