We all have designs that stay with us. Today I’m sharing one that I find simply too perfect. This is the Snug in Designer Rita Konig’s husband's farmhouse in County Durham, England.

Every single item in this space is well proportioned for comfort. I am a huge fan of Ms. Konig’s work and follow her on Instagram. I’ve seen her talk about finding the oversized decorative pillow that is on the chair next to the sofa and how she thought about cutting it down but in the end has left it large and then you really sink into it. I loved hearing a renown designer talk about this decision.

The jewel tones all play off each other brilliantly. I find myself thinking about what color corduroy to use on an old antique chair I have tucked in a corner of the basement. The 'Charlton' ginger corduroy is by Tissus d'Hélène and the tone is delightful.

This settee lives in the vestibule of the Beach Club Resort in Walt Disney World. I thought it so fun that in such a warm climate this pretty pale blue corduroy was being given a moment with equally delightful pink welting!

“Corduroy is a textile with a distinctively raised “cord” or wale texture. The fabric is made by weaving extra sets of fiber into the base fabric to form vertical ridges called wales. The wales are built so that clear lines can be seen when they are cut into pile.”

Til next time be well.

Friends we closed out summer 2023 with a trip to Orlando Florida last week. We were fortunate that Hurricane Idalia didn’t impact us.

We visited Epcot, Universal, Hollywood Studios, Typhoon Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom. We stayed at the Beach Club Resort which is close to Epcot. We like to be close to Epcot during the annual Food & Wine Festival so we can pop over just to walk around and eat and drink from the many kiosks they set up or at one of the regular restaurants. We also had delightful lunches in the parks.

Here’s a peek at our trip. (I took over 400 photos!)

Beautiful Sunset our second night from the Pool

Hollywood Studios

after dinner we walked around and shopped until the fireworks

Our Last Day was spent at the Magic Kingdom

Disney is not for the faint of heart and I’m glad we only visit every five years. We have my sister and niece to thank for all their planning. My sister could be a travel agent for her exemplary attention to detail she started planning this trip a year ago. My niece stepped in with her first hand knowledge of Lighting Lanes; having visited the parks recently and got us onto every ride we wished to enjoy some more than once!

If you’re wondering my favorite ride is a tie between Peter Pan’s Flight in the Magic Kingdom and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot. A fan favorite with the rest of the family was Tron in the Magic Kingdom.

These trips are what memories are made of! I feel truly blessed to have had such fun!

Til next time friends be well.
