Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a very joyous holiday season! Mine was truly wonderful!
I've been busy freshening up my home for the New Year!! New curtains hung, things re-arranged, and waiting on the arrival of some exciting Christmas gifts. Yes, a little late, but I wanted to wait until after the holidays to get my gifts this year. I can't wait to show you all!

Just a few peeks of the house. I haven't been taking full shots of my home because I'm waiting to save up for a wide-angle lens this February. It's a bit hard to get full shots of anything with the lenses I have right now.Also, I finally treated myself to the "Vintage by Nina" book and I am so glad I did!! The photos and styling are absolutely stunning. It has really inspired me!
**Speaking of inspiration, make sure and stop by Tracey's lovely blog, French Larkspur. Tracey had her beautiful home published in the Jan./Feb. 2013 issue of Midwest Living Magazine. The photos are absolutely gorgeous!
Congratulation's Tracey!!!~
Hope you all have a beautiful day!! Talk to you all soon!!
Sincerely,
Melinda

I love the peeks you have given us so far and can't WAIT to see what gifts you will be sharing with us soon. Whoo hoo, so exciting.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, always have.
Heading to see Tracey's now.
Your photos look sooo pretty, Melinda! I'll bet you were so excited to get a new lens. I can't remember, do you use Canon or Nikon? I'd love to get a wide angle too. That won't be happening for awhile though...I just bought a new camera so I'm feeling super poor :)
ReplyDeleteMelinda you photos are so beautiful! I am so inspired! Your home is beautiful as always! I can't wait to see what you share!I have been thinking of getting that book too.But the price keeps stopping me!

I love the elegance of that first pic!!
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me even though our stylings are so different!!
That is how I know you are great stylist. Your vignettes can speak to all decorators.

Happy New Year Melinda! Wow, you've been doing some amazing freshening up! I'm enjoying all these photos and am craving more. That's good news you're getting a wide lens. I hate taking entire room shots with my point-and-shoot, because so much of the details get lost.
ReplyDeleteI'm always in for a treat whenever I visit your blog here. Your photos are amazing no matter the subject or lens!
Take care,
Susan
You have such a wonderfully special way of combining colors, textures, and vignettes, Melinda! Soooo much talent! :) Thanks for the sweet peek inside your freshened up home. Loved it! Happy New Year to you!
