Best of the Week on BB&B
What a busy week with so many extraordinary events happening! The Royal Wedding was a day to remember ~ and speaking of weddings, today is our 17th wedding anniversary. We are not going to be riding in a carriage or flying out in a helicopter, but we will celebrate this day, just as we did 17 years ago.
As always, here is the re-cap in case you missed anything.

Beautiful Living: Sitting Rooms
Do you have a sitting room? Above is the "Queen's Sitting Room" as seen in 1999 in the White House. "Like the other rooms on the east side of the second floor, the Queens' Sitting Room was, for its first hundred years, used as part of the president's offices. When the West Wing was constructed in 1902 and the executive offices moved there, this room became a sitting room for guests in the Queens' Bedroom (then called the Rose Bedroom or Pink Bedroom). After the Kennedy renovation in 1963 restored it to Victorian style, the room has remained essentially the same ever since."
~ White House Museum
What would your sitting room look like? Comfortable seating, natural lighting,
with a cozy atmosphere - These all work for me!

Colorful Front Doors ~ What Color is Yours
When I was riding around noticing all the colorful front doors, I realized I will have to post this again when the Spring flowers are blooming! So stay tuned for a part II.
What color is your front door? Ours is black and I have always wanted to paint it fire engine red. It sounds like I have a new project!

Where We Blog - Home Office / Favorite Cozy Spot
I really love this "Where We Blog" series! Not only is it fun to get a peek into where you blog, but it has introduced me to some wonderful NEW people and blogs to follow. Please send me your photo if you have not done so already! Today we get to peek into the home of Beatriz of That Girl in Pearls. She has a striking room with a deep, rich wall color
- a handsome wooden mirror (I will add this to my mirror collection)
- and a cool deer wall hanging.
I also received a great photo from Kathy of Never Enough Thyme. I love this photo for two reasons. Number one, look at Kathy's view... and number two, before we built my art studio - I also blogged from our kitchen!!
Please submit your "home office" or "favorite cozy spot to blog" by
e-mailing your photo to laura.trevey@gmail.com

A Beach Cottage in Namibia, Africa - Home Tour
I was so excited when my good friend Inge Labuschagne, owner of the best frame shop in Richmond - Frame of Mind, sent me her fabulous photos! Take a peek inside her gorgeous oceanfront condo in Swakopmund, Namibia, Africa.
Notice anything familiar? Yes, my blue crab and red crab paintings have made it all the way to Africa! Woo hoo ~
LOVE the polka dots and stripes....
Thank you Inge for sharing your lovely condo with us. I only have one question...
When are we planning the girl's trip?
A huge thank you to CasaSugar for posting the slideshow today as well!
