leafy luxe: wallpapers
I love the look of leafy and branch-y wallpapers for the way they seem to bring the peace of nature into a room. --Or even bring a little pizzazz to a space, like the banana leaf paper used in the Fountain Coffee Room at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Some of these designs are more rhythmic, aligning stripes of branch patterns, to dance across the walls. I think my favourites are the silvery papers with delicate leafy designs, such as the second and third images shown, for their subtle allure.

Wedding Wednesday: Tiffany blue
Isn't there something undeniably romantic about a Tiffany box?
Perhaps this sense of romance is evoked because we understand that a Tiffany box will most likely contain a very precious and very beautiful piece of jewelry... specifically, a ring. A diamond ring. If you are hoping to become a bride-to-be, you may be envisioning this lovely scenario, with a special sort of skipping of your heartbeat.
Have you ever watched the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's", starring Audrey Hepburn? If so, you will remember the opening moment of the film: Audrey, in her gorgeous black dress, eating a donut, just after sunrise, while gazing longingly into the window of Tiffany's store in Manhattan. Her down-and-out-yet-carefree character yearns for a kind of magic, the kind of magic which seems to be found only at Tiffany's.
Whatever magic you may be yearning for, the delicious aqua hue known as Tiffany blue may inspire you to dream of love and loveliness. Or maybe it will simply cheer you up for a few moments.
I hope you will enjoy the Tiffany blue images I've shared with you today. I know they are making me smile.
