A Little Touch of Blue








I love the traditional colors of Christmas...but I am adoring the hint of blue in these pictures..
Also did you notice the Christmas tree in the first picture...hello champagne bucket...my mom has a few of these...I am going to have to put a wee tree in her entrance and do it just like this one ...I bet she would love this color blue as well...off to find robin egg blue ornaments!
Oh Joy!!

Cousins

















CeCe was invited tonight to a sleepover with Jake and Elle..her Cousin's...I can not tell you how much she loves these two...She lights up like a Christmas tree at the very sight of them and asks us a million times a day..."What do you think Jake and Elle are doing?

Tony and I where delighted to have a free night..and had a million ideas what to do with this free time...but do you want to know something ...we spent most part of the night wondering what CeCe Jake and Elle were doing...funny...she is not even gone 12 hours And I miss this little soul more then anything...

Georgi and John her Aunt and Uncle are pretty hip she always has a ton of fun there.

When we called tonight to see how she was doing ... she was busy making Christmas cookies and really didn't want to come to the phone...We had a little giggle over this!

Dinning room

Living room



Here is the living room in "Its Complicated"














The Kitchen
I heard there is a lot of orange in this house...to compliment Meryl Streep peaches and cream skin..interesting!




I just adored the movie "Somethings Gotta Give" I actually bought it both for my mom and for myself....Any time some one drops by the house ...I love to put it in....And give it a gander...I adore and dream of Dianne Keaton's house in the Hampton's..the movie was directed by Nancy Meyer....Anyways...she is doing a new movie called "It's Complicated" and it looks like she has decorated another fabby set...here are some pictures I have stole from another blog!
Enjoy! Also if you Youtube "Its Complicated" you will not only see a hilarous trailor...but some more great pictures of the interiors!
