If My Blog Was A Room - Next Up - The Enchanted Home

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room... where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? I am so excited to have Tina here, from her design blog The Enchanted Home. Her beautiful blog is enchanting, elegant and full of gorgeous interiors. When you visit her blog, you definitely stay a while! Here is her pretty blog header:



Just lovely! And here is what she came up with-

Hi there! I was so excited and terribly flattered when Amber asked me to be a part of this terrific series "If my blog were a room". Well,  I got a little carried away and couldn't just stop at one room! I knew this would be fun and when asked me to participate I was only too happy to oblige.


I immediately knew how I would want my rooms to look if my blog were an actual room or house. To fully convey the vibe, I have included a mini house.....just a few key rooms and elements that really resonate with me. A few words to describe each sets the tone so welcome to the mini house at "The Enchanted Home".........


Elegant, timeless and elegant in my living room.....as in a large room with high ceilings, an old antique rug, a mix of furniture both old and new, lots of blue and white, silk panels trimmed with decadent trimmings, softly lit lamps and sconces
    
  Soft and serene in  my master bedroom and dressing room/office...as in the palest blue/gray on the walls, sumptuous white bedding as soft as a feather with monogrammed pillows, a beautiful bench, a pair of cozy French club chairs and a delicate chandelier to cast a warm glow over the room


    Elegant and European feeling  in 
my kitchen....with reclaimed beams, stone floors, great lanterns, and softly glazed cabinetry, topped with yummy white marble and of course a bevy of copper pots!
Welcoming and warm  in my mudroom.....with rich warm woods and a golden hued color palette topped with a great lantern on old stone floors 


 Dreamy and beautiful in my dining room.......with stunning chinoiserie paper, beautiful silk drapery panels and a gorgeous antique Persian rug, lit by the soft glow of a chandelier and sconces


 Inviting and old world for my front entrance....with lots of climbing ivy, beautiful lanterns gracing the brick and  limestone, a perfect pair of planters with boxwoods and tons of blooms all in white, after all this is "The Enchanted Home"!!
   
Toasty and welcoming in my family room.... rich golden tones with touches of blues and blue and white pottery, soaring ceilings, luscious overstuffed sofas, beautiful antique pillows and gorgeous rich woodworking


Dreamy and cloud like in my guest room...with soft colors, the coziest  bedding, a roaring fire, a comfy chair and ottoman and a vaulted ceiling


Serene and peaceful for my outside spaces....as in stone patios, abundant planters overflowing with gorgeous flowers and ample seating with comfortable cushions, and while you are at it..lets throw in an outdoor pizza oven!

Magical and dreamy in my pool gazebo.... in this spectacular dreamy setting complete with charming gazebo illuminated at night for a drink by the pool (when dreaming you might as well dream big)!
Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by and again thank you Amber for having me aboard!

Thanks so much for being here, Tina! This would make a stunning home and reminds me very much of your blog! The bedrooms and family room are my favorite spaces. And I could definitely relax by the pool in that outdoor space!
And make sure to stop by Tina's blog to see more fabulous design and her very own beautiful home!
