Monday, Monday

Good Afternoon My Friends!
Just wanted to let you know....I am still here!
Just very sick!
The last 8 days have been a blur...brought on by much medication and oodles of sleep!
I did regain my voice finally, much to my hubby's dismay I'm sure and I'm quite elated that I can now breathe through my nose partially instead of my mouth!


This calls for a celebration in itself!
My head though still stuffed with cotton is no longer throbbing and...
I have actually put something on other than a fresh pair of pajamas today!


I was shocked when I saw that my calender claimed it to be Monday! I can't believe how long I have been away and not even been looking at blogs this past week! Okay, so barely looked! :)
Before the onset of this viral infection...I was able to accomplish much on the cottage studio project and I will be sharing very soon...
But for now...I thought I would share pictures of some dream bedrooms from my pinterest board.
I have spent so much time in my own bed...I needed to see some dreamy escape like bedrooms!



I have always wanted a canopy bed...how about you?


Or maybe just an amazing crown treatment or pediment.

One thing for certain.... fabulous linens are a must! These are some my favorites. They are from Taylor linens~The Laura Collection.


If you would like to see more of my favorites...check out my Bed Dressing and Boudoir Board on Pinterest!
(All of the above images are from said board!) 
Can you tell I have been reading this week?~Jane Austen no less as well as  a new release I just loved
During my awake times I fell in love with Jane's writing all over again!

If you get a chance...check it out! It's was really quite a lovely read!

I wish you all a happy week!

  6. I so feel your pain. I'm still trying to get through my own horribly stuffed up head/sore throat/etc. And I so need a revamped bedroom space! Thanks for sharing these photos.
    I love Jane Austen's movies. i have yet to really feel like watching a movie though - my eyes hurt.
    Feel better and better!

  16. That must have been some bad bug to knock YOU down for over a week. Just be sure when you're packing to leave it at home...'kay?
    Glad you're starting to shake it...and yes...I love a canopy bed. I always wanted a Princess and the Pea bed.
