I've created a little chill zone for myself and my husband, it's very basic but our bedroom looks cozy for now until my things arrive from the states. It's a bit bare... I want to put up my paintings and throw down a few rugs... and I need some lanterns or rosemary topiaries for the windows... but for now I'm content to cozy up in this space and read, sip tea, and just chill.
And yes that's a doll on my bed. And no, my husband is not bothered by it. He better get use to seeing toys if we want to have children someday. he he. I'm breaking him in slowly... :)
See that huge bouquet with sunflowers? It's from our friend Susannah. She gave it to us, freshly picked from her garden. How wonderful, huh?
Do you like the colors? I do, they are a change for me as I've not used these tones in my bedroom before. The base of the room is white... layered with grey and tones of violet. I can switch out these colors whenever I want for other ones, the beauty of decorating with a neutral base!

I am glad you like it so much and feel at home in Germany!
Have a nice weekend!
ein wunderbarer rückzugsort bei euch zuhause...ich liebe deine decke auf dem bett...sieht sehr alt aus...wo hast du die denn gekauft oder ist sie antik?...wunderbare farben...eine süsse puppe...wäre was für unsere kleine tochter...:-)
und blumen sind einfach herrlich, oder...?
wir gehen auch immer welche auf einem feld holen zum selberschneiden...gibt es bei uns in deutschland öfters...du gehst auf ein feld mit blumen und schneidest dir soviele du willst und schmeisst dein geld in eine metallbox...gute idee und immer frische blumen im sommer...:-)
wünschen euch nen schönen samstagabend...
alles liebe

hej holly,
a wonderful retreat in your home ... I love your covers on the bed ... looks very old ... where did you bought or because it is an antique? ... wonderful colors ... a sweet doll .. . would be nice for our little daughter ...:-)
and flowers are simply magnificent, or ...?
We always go on a field which you can cut by yourself ... there are often here in south Germany ... you go on a field with flowers and cut you as much you want and throws your money in a metal box ... good idea and always fresh flowers in summer ...:-)
wish you a wonderful saturday evening...
love

oh, fresh flowers- yep, you always preach it, and you're so right, it makes all the difference, especially when they're a gift! =)
Have a great weekend.
I am new to reading your blogs, I think you are a fantastic writer and you give me so much inspiration!! I want to congratulate you on your move to Germany and hope you are settling in well :) Your bedroom seems so cosy -- I really do adore these tones! And I just have to ask - your doll is soooo cute, wherever did you find her?!!! xx
