Best of MI...Dreaming of white...



Hello bloggers! Its been ages and I do apologize, but I seem to have lost my 'mojo' - and I'm having trouble getting it back.  So please bear with me while I try to sort it out...bringing you a post from 2011 about white and it features one of my faves, Swedish design.  How are you all doing? Any plans for the fall?

Also, if anyone needs interior styling assistance, please contact me -monacointeriors76@yahoo.com -
thanks -

FROM JULY 2011

I can't shake it...these white interiors are not just speaking to me, they are shouting! Rather dramatic, but I wanted to make the point.  I think because it is summer, it is easy to love white and I will have something special I just got to show you later in the week. For now, feast the eyes on these fabulous photos of Swedish apartments courtesy of my blogging friend Tiina at Elce Stockholm - it's no secret that the Scandinavian style is so sought after as you can see -










I love all of these and this last photo is a Windsor Smith design - I think what I really love about white is that it allows other colors to 'pop' and really shine in a space. For more Swedish design, visit Tiina here. I hope you are all having a great week!!

Travels in Maine...

Hi folks! Its been WAY too long since I posted, probably the longest I've ever NOT posted.  Life...lots going on and I'm gearing up for another big move, so I have things going on right now that don't allow me to spend too much time on the computer.  If I do, its a quick check of facebook, twitter and other social media.

 Lately, its been difficult to have the drive or inspiration to post - do you feel this? I know a lot of you do, and its hard. I have been blogging a long time now and still love it, but, will be reassessing my goals, future and what I want to achieve in the next two months. I feel like the change from summer to fall is a good time to look inward.  What are your plans and goals? I don't do enough of this, so its time to start!!

Have a great rest of the Labor Day weekend and I will see you sooner rather than later!! xoxo

Maine is such a beautiful state - one day you can be 4,000 feet above
sea level and the next day, back at sea level on the coast - no
shortage of beauty here -

Have a great day!! xoxo
