MOOD BOARD

While we may have gotten over the shock of realizing it was indeed Monday from the previous post, we are still none too happy to be back to work on a Monday...for a... gulp, full week yet! It is always hard to come from a vacation when it's been at the beach. I know many people have shock over not working any more when they retire....but shit, I have so many interests and places to be and things to being doing, I will be looking forward to retirement! Granted years to go yet....sigh......

Let's all have a Happy Monday!

  1. Those blues and greens are how I want to decorate the kitchen and bathrooms of my future home, which for now only exists in my dreams.

  3. Wow, even the sea gulls look impressed! Beach antics aside, your choice of sea colours for today's mood board is great -- love the shells and sea glass palette. Welcome back, Maddie!

    1. I was making the life guards a bit stirred as I was giving French fries to seas gulls drawing a huge growing flock when at the beach. It started turning into the birds.

  4. I hoped you'd post some photos and you didn't disappoint! (Oh, I know the beach pics aren't from this actual trip, but I enjoyed them anyway!).
    I have lots of interests, and plenty of ideas and places I wanted to go in my retirement years. Alas! the money.... So, do your financial planning well, Mads!

    1. I think that's Kim Novak in the ash rose outfit, which is lovely, but it's much too hot to be wearing that now. She needs to change into something cooler -- perhaps a slip dress. Silk. It can be the same color.

    2. I did a search result, and it yielded Marylin....but I ADORE Kim Novak too. But lately.....oh girl....she is frightening looking.

  16. If I was sleeping in that bed (6 pics down) I'd be worried about that large painting falling off the wall and killing me.

    Mood Board merveilleux !
    J’adore le puppy sur la terrasse, l’étal de fruits méditerranées, le fleuristes parisien Oz Garden (qui partage ses locaux avec la maison de décoration belge Flamant, en lieu aussi superbe que coûteux), la sublime Marilyn, cette magnifique porte verte, le coupé Alfa Romeo, les garçons de maison et l’engorgeur :)
