***For anyone awaiting pumpkins- the second part of our shipment arrived yesterday! It’s all hands on deck to get orders out as fast as humanly possible. We will also bee working on Saturday to. insure we get out all orders***
Good morning everyone! Hope you’re doing well. Unfortunately, I’ve been home sick for the last few days. I was convinced I had Covid because I lost my sense of smell and taste, but thankfully both testswere negative. I’m feeling slightly better, but still dealing with a pretty bad cough, so I’m giving myself one more day of rest and hopefully I’ll be back on track. Getting a dose of cabin fever, especially when my favorite fall weather is in full gear, such tease to not be outdoors.
Of course, this happened during a week when I had SO much going on—2 city installations/deliveries for my design job, plenty of things to review at our house, a fun design event in Darien, a friend’s birthday dinner…had to miss it all. What do they say about the best-laid plans?
What I did manage to do was become a complete slug for three days and watch a marathon of home tours on YouTube. Needless to say, I now have about a million ideas swimming through my head! I also watched a few good documentaries, so I suppose my time on the sofa wasn’t entirely wasted.
I’m slowly starting to envision decorating our new house, even though we’re still quite a ways away from that stage. But it’s always fun to dream!
One room I especially love is a cozy breakfast room. I’m not quite sure what direction we’ll go in yet, so I started playing around with some very different ideas—and thought this would make a fun “Which Would You Choose?”
So, imagine one of these had to be YOUR breakfast room. Which would you choose? Pick your top three favorites…and here we go-
OK now which vibe is your favorite, where could you imagine having your morning coffee? It was a tough choice for me, but 5, 6 and 1 ended up being my faves. Will be fun to see which comes out on top, time to choose your three favorites.
Our best selling chinoiserie tree collars are coming back (in a larger size) They sold out really fast, so if you had your eye on one, it’s a great time to preorder-
Well this was a fun exercise in creating and dreaming up some fun ideas for breakfast rooms. What do you think makes a beautiful breakfast room? I am all ears. Hope you enjoyed and maybe even got a few ideas. Thanks for stopping in, wishing everyone a great day.Until next time…
I’m going to need a mixture of Choice 3 and Choice 4 – I LOVE a banquette, but I also want to live in horse country where I can see those beautiful thoroughbreds outside my window!
I have to have plenty of morning light streaming across my breakfast table. I’d go for a banquette so I could stretch out with a second cup of coffee and watch the dew-kissed flowers glisten in the sun.
I will take choice 7 for my apt and choice 6 for my country house;-) Thanks for the reminder that my own breakfast room needs a little makeover. I actually love them all!
Tina,
The prettiest breakfast room I have ever seen is in Hillwood House in Washington, DC. The former home and now museum of Marjorie M Post. I hope you can visit it someday.

Take care of yourself and get some rest, the work will always be waiting.
A tough choice, Tina. They are each beautiful.
To me what makes a beautiful breakfast room is a view.
