WHITE WEDNESDAY

http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com










For years, I've been drooling over white upholstery but always felt like it was just too impractical for my lifestyle. Now that summer is here, I'm once again seriously considering the possibility. Should I just "bite the bullet" and go for it? Remember, I have five (count 'em---five!) dogs...

I love the dressmaker details on each of these pieces. The pleats and tucks and bows... to die for!

Isn't this scalloped hem just the cutest?

The bows and the tiny box pleats---so adorable!

 Those tiny box pleats again and a monogram, too. What more could a girl ask for?

More box pleats, a little bit bigger this time, and those darling bows down the back again, too. I could imagine sitting in this chair all day long, with a good book.

Although I normally love to be surrounded by color, the hot summer weather sometimes makes me think of the cool, crisp simplicity of white furnishings.

Possibly the most gorgeous bed I've ever seen! 

Sweet dreams would be insured for anybody sleeping here, don't you think? 

The iconic Pottery Barn sofa could be the perfect starting point for any room.

I'm trying not to think about how much time and effort would be required to iron these 100%  linen  place mats and napkins! I love the embroidered corners.

After all that ironing, I might need a spa day!

Go ahead... treat yourself to some fresh flowers. They're such a nice little luxury, and you deserve it!

DREAMING OF SPRING

Spring can't get here fast enough for me!
