WEEKEND PHOTO: TIME TO RELAX!

Three rocking chairs on a sun porch overlooking a sunny backyard

Hope you take the time to relax this weekend. I love this photo…three rocking chairs on a sun porch…overlooking a gorgeous sunny yard. I love the idea of a porch…and I love a great rocking chair. (Do I sound like I am 90? Can’t help it though I do like rocking chairs and porches!)

The sun is finally out today…literally and figuratively speaking. We’ve had days and days of rain here in California…when I woke up this morning, all of the clouds were gone and the sky was bright. After a crazy couple of weeks in weather and some personal challenges, it is definitely time to take a break, time to enjoy the beautiful day, time to relax!

Ahhhh….

    We have been experiencing the same cloudy, days but our precipitation has been snow and tons of it. I was so happy to wake up to blue skies.

    I love the picture with the porch rockers, it’s so inviting and relaxing.

    Great picture. I would love to be sitting in one of those chairs right now. Unfortunately in GA we’re still dealing with gray skies and rain. Enjoy your beautiful weekend!

    Hi Coco, I am in the Silicon Valley, and I am so tired of the rain. I know we need it (our lake is SO low it’s sad), as it makes all the hills green and gives us plenty of water for the summer, but I’m such a fair-weathered girl that anymore than a week of it at a time and I’m ready to hop a plane for somewhere completely warm and dry. That and the fact that our crawl space flooded yesterday and we are in for thousands of dollars of damages has me ready for a vacation! :p Keep dry and brace yourself because more rain is on the way!

    I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog.
    Great looking furniture. You guess there is a lot of variety in furniture for every taste and choice… great creations.

    I’m with mackenzie lorene — a cup of tea and an oversized sweater. And perhaps a cat, curled up and purring. Thanks for the reminder to slow down and relax!
    Up here (Vancouver), they’re predicting rain for later today. Did you Cali folk send it up to us? 😉

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
