It is pretty safe to say that
and what better than a bouquet of peonies in a basket?
and a pop of pretty with the floral comforter at the foot of the bed-
Courtney...I can just imagine sitting on your gorgeous patio on a warm summer evening taking in the sights and sounds of summer...then retreating into your beautiful home. I love the summer, not so much for the heat, but for the long days too.

I have long admired your blog and thank you for being such an inspiration to me.
So sweet of you- thank you Janet!Delete
summer at your place is wonderfulReplyDelete
It's a home to love, there is not a room or space that I don't love.
Your home flows romantically inside and out!
Thank you Dore! I hope all is well over your way!Delete
Two words......Charming and Graceful. I love the idea of just adding a hint of summer in each room. Your bedroom has always been my favorite room, with the red and white checks.....adding the floral print to the end of the bed was brilliant. Not over the top. The last house we lived in had the quincentennial New England established flower garden...oh how I miss the peonies....I loved going out in the morning for fresh cuttings ( not so.much the ants!)
Truely inspiring.
I appreciate your kind words- thank you!Delete
Wow, what a beautiful home and garden space you have. I love the warmth of the outdoor patio with fireplace and the two chandeliers in the dining room - brilliant! I agree that any day is a good day for peonies.
Would enjoy them very day- all year long if I could find them! Thanks for stopping by!Delete
Courtney, your home is enchanting inside and out. You have style that inspires. One of my all time favorite images is one of your master with that gorgeous settee in red buffalo check that sits at the foot of your bed. Thanks for the tour. It was a real treat!ReplyDelete
Beautiful and so Cozy. I am such a big fan of you interior style and home.
Thanks so much Isabelle!

Thank you for sharing your lovely home at bHome Summer Open House!!!
Haha!! Sorry! :) Thank you for your sweet comment and for stopping by Pat.Delete
Oh the double chandeliers and the hammock. I love them.
You have created an elegantly beautiful home.
Even though my own style leans strongly to contemporary, I could live in your house (who wouldn't).
Any free rooms? :D
Your low key summer decor is the perfect foil for those gorgeous peonies! I much admire your style and your talent, and I must admit that your home and outdoor areas shine in any season!ReplyDelete
I love your kitchen table with the chalk board, so pretty! That patio has me swooning! You would have to drag me back into the house, I would spend all my time in such a lovely space!ReplyDelete
I always enjoy a tour of your beautiful home Courtney and I'm totally envious of that outdoor area. It must be amazing to entertain out there. Thanks for a fabulous summer tour of your home.ReplyDelete

Gorgeous as always Courtney and your photos are just amazing! Love, love your bedroom! And that chalkboard makes me swoon!
Your home is one of my very most favorites. I love absolutely everything....I am addicted to it like I am addicted to chocolate.

BLT Maki Rolls
The following recipe is from the February 24 edition of our weekly recipe newsletter. To receive this newsletter in your inbox, sign up here!
When you make a pledge to not eat out or get take-out for an extended period of time, there are certain foods you'll probably miss. For Cathy Erway, author of The Art of Eating In, sushi was one of the big holes in her diet. In the past she had purchased little boxes of prepared sushi to eat for lunch on a regular basis, but during her experiment they were strictly off-limits.
Not being one to succumb to a steady diet of sandwiches for work lunches, Cathy decided to learn how to make her own sushi at home and fill her rolls with a variety of intriguing fillings. These BLT Maki Rolls use the traditional combination of vinegared sushi rice and nori, and replace the fish and vegetables with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a garlicky mayonnaise. They're not the rolls you'll find in the refrigerated section of your local market, but they're delicious nonetheless and an easily transportable alternative to boring workaday lunches.
- Yield:3 rolls
- 1 cup uncooked sushi rice
- 4 tablespoons sushi vinegar or 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, and 2 teaspoons sugar, dissolved over heat
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or substitute white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 square sheets of nori seaweed (can be found in packages at most Asian groceries)
- 10-12 leaves of romaine lettuce, thick ribs removed
- 6 strips bacon, cooked to crispy and drained on paper towels
- 1 large, firm tomato, cut into 1/2-inch strips
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic into a smooth sauce.
Place a square of nori on top of a sushi-rolling mat (these are ideal because their long slats of wood distribute pressure throughout the length of the roll). Wet your fingertips, and place little handfuls of rice evenly on top of the nori square. Spread until you have reasonably even, light layer of rice.
Arrange a few lettuce leaves in a single layer on top of the rice. Pile a neat, small line of bacon and tomato strips about 1/2-inch from the edge closest to you. Spread a neat, thin layer of the garlic mayonnaise across the fillings. Lift up the straw mat on that same side, and roll until the nori covers the fillings. Without pressing too hard, continue to roll, lifting the straw mat out of the way as you go along, until the entire nori sheet is rolled up. Press down a little bit on the finished roll to secure the ends.
Using a very sharp knife, cut the roll into five or six pieces. Place the pieces cut-side-up or down on a plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce.

Google tries to define the Zeitgeist, or spirit of the times, through its annual exercise of counting the top internet search terms.
Yet there is much more to Zeitgeist than Chatroulette, iPad and Justin Bieber, which is what Google came up with.
A more important trend in feeling and thought in this country unfolded after the Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson that wounded Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killed six people — including a federal judge and a little girl — and injured 18 others.
The country, to put it mildly, has experienced confused and even violent reactions to the tragedy.
Some say it was Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik who, the night of the killing spree, started the recriminations about nasty political rhetoric owning some blame for the violence.
"I think the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out … and how are youngsters are being raised, that this has not become the nice United States of America that most of us grew up in," Dupnik said at a press conference. "I think it's time we do the soul-searching."

WayneW necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 396 diseños de 111 diseñadores freelance.
Global Industrial Services (Aust) Pty Ltd
I am currently set up with several smaller divisions around the country. It is now time to create a large umbrella company for each smaller division to feed in to. Been in the construction industry for over 20 years and provide all elements of human resources to the construction industry from general labourers, scaffolders, carpenters, cooks and so on. Any person that works on a construction site could be provided by my company. This next step is to a higher end corporate level so I need something to really stand out and start off my corporate branding.
I am now looking to target industrial services as well as maintain the commercial presence that I currently hold. The North of Western Australia is about to boom in the oil, gas and mining sectors so this is my next focus. At the same time I need to have something that will hold up well in the city commercial sector. I currently have work in the Perth commercial areas, oil rigs off the WA coast, QLD labouring work and also shutdowns and maintenance of power plants etc in our south west. Our focus is to really get the attention of the major players in the industry and for that to happen, we must become more corporate.
I really want to brand the company using the word "Global", perhaps something that would make the word look corporate, as well as stand out so people know which company it is by simply looking at the logo. If there is some way to use the word to brand the company, that would be the ultimate aim. Of course if there is something stand out as a logo it would not be ignored.
Really don't want too many bright colours as it is the construction industry and yellows / pinks will not have the effect we're after.
We want to be known simply as "Global" and want to be seen as a quality corporate company that can play in the top end arena with other big players.
Hope you can help!

The fancy-pants stadium seats aren't selling. Fans are pissed . The A-Rod mess. 0-5 against the Sox. And now, fans are doing flying kicks. This is the 2009 Yankees season so far.
Let's rundown just some of the things that have happened just in the last few days:
• But you said it was rained out...: Monday night's game against the Red Sox was delayed due to the weather, but some fans claim Yankee employees told them it was rained out. So they left. Unfortunately, the game continued and some of those fans were not let back into the stadium. Yelling and borderline chaos ensues at Gate 6: "We talked to the security personnel, who said there was zero chance they were going to play the game," said Tom Stuart, a 27-year-old from Astoria who waited out most of the rain delay before leaving with his girlfriend. "We spent three hours drinking beer - you can't drink much because they're 10 bucks apiece - now they're going to play a game in front of 35 fans.". [NYDN]
• All A-Rod, All The Time: Pitch-tipping? Strippers? Steroids? Bitch Tits? What say you Joe Girardi:" I have some issues with it, that it's interesting how the book date got moved up now," Girardi said, "and I get tired of answering these questions. I don't understand why someone would write a book like this anyway, and some people may not care to hear that but I don't understand." [AP]
• Even Paul O'Neill is getting hassled: Perhaps the Yankees are trying to regain control of the PR nightmare 2009 has been so far, they're getting a little more strict with the media coverage and sticking to their rule book. According to Bob Raisman of the NYDN, Yankees security asked former Yankee "warrior" O'Neill to not "loiter" around the batting cages. Also? His wife wasn't allowed into the Stadium's "wives room" because she was told it was for "current wives only." [NYDN]
• At least they're beating the Red Sox...: Not at all. 0-5 so far, two straight losses at home. But Johnny Damon is still optimistic!: "Because we are 0-5, it's going to make us a better team, a tougher team, a team that's more together," he said, "a team that's going to rally behind our players." Yes! [NYP]
• When all else fails, just do a flying kick: This is just amazing. I can say for a fact that I will never, ever be in a situation where my brain says, "You're gonna take that from that guy? Leap over four rows and try to drop-kick that loudmouth..." Hopefully not. [Total Pro Sports]
And it's still on the beginning of May.
