Hi there! Back in NY and settling back into my routine,\u00a0 its a busy and exciting time over here at TEH. With the holiday season just starting, we have all kinds of amazing things happening here! I must say being in PB was such<\/em> a treat. This was all about girlfriend time and I had the good fortune of not having not one but two groups of friends (at different times) visiting me. It was fun to see it all through their eyes and suffice to say they too fell in love with the calming magic of PB.<\/p>\n

We did everything from hanging out by the pool, lots of biking, game playing, Savannah tour walking and more and it was so<\/em> what I needed. I forgot how wonderful it is to “unplug” from the stress and demands of every day life and it was amazing! I am back with renewed energy and vigor and rolling up my sleeves to get ready for the busy holiday season ahead.<\/p>\n

Still love my house as much as ever and with every visit, small things (and big) get done. It is starting to feel like a lived in and much loved home. I am taking my time with the remaining items, like a few final pieces of furniture and art. I am looking for a local artist and have a few promising leads to pursue. Open with all ears if you know of someone local to that area. Anywho, here is the latest at the house and my last visit there-<\/p>\n

Love the lighting in theses pictures, brings back fond memories of a rainy afternoon (one of the few) where we felt free to stay and play games, drink wine and nibble:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dining room chandelier was installed..finally! Worth the wait:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A small but significant touch to me, finally getting some “real pictures” printed and placed into my frames! Teddy front and center:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty afternoon lighting<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These REAL hydrangeas are going on 10 days!!! Thanks to fresh cuts every 4-5 days and very hot water, they have serious staying power<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our games of choice….both such fun and lots of laughter guaranteed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another day, prepared good but healthy snacks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guilt free snacking!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our study\/office space, a happy room to work in<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finished the window seat upstairs with all these pretty blue and white Thibaut fabrics (not to worry about any fellow OCD’ers out there, I fixed the bottom part of the window seat cushion:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Afternoon “snack” guacamole with tomatoes, yum!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Still loving my hood! A work of art:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prepared a light lunch and set up my counter with my melamine and beautiful linens<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Upstairs lantern got installed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This picture makes me smile…one of my favorite activities to do at PB.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Powder room got new mirror, love it<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back staircase\/mud room are- not sure if I have shown the lanterns installed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We really enjoy our porch, morning, noon and night!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sons bedroom #1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sons bedroom #2<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sons bedroom #3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A beautiful sunny late afternoon just waiting for us to sit down and put our feet up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And many afternoons ended with a nice cocktail on the porch:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two gorgeous sunsets with a pink illuminated sky<\/p>\n

I am not going to lie, putting this post together makes me wish I was back there now.<\/em> Something about it instantly relaxes me, the pace slows down, and somehow things just seem calmer down there. Back in NY, the pace is decidedly must faster and unrelenting.I love it and thrive in it but those breaks I get when visiting PB are always a welcome relief!<\/p>\n
