Good Morning friends from a sunny, but cold Cape Town! I hope you are all well and happy. House and Leisure Magazine's House of the year 2011 feature some wonderful homes and each year I pick my favourite and stick to it no matter which one wins!! This year's favourite is just enchanting and had me swooning for yonks! Have a look... This is perfection....the colour, the style and the garden...sigh...long sigh of pleasure... Now, I remember why I wanted to live in this Dining Room when I saw it at Sharon's beautiful blog called Roses and Rust (love the name of her blog). Just the light playing on the wall colour makes me happy, let alone the contents. I suggested to Sharon that at a dinner party here, you might find me sitting under the table drooling on the rug.... What a stunning setting... You can have a look at the other contenders HERE on House and Leisure's website and pick your own favourite. So what do you think? Gorgeous, isn't it? Happy Living Veronica xxx images from House and Leisure Magazine I appreciate your time in leaving a comment and love reading them. Thank you for stopping by.

Hello dear friends! I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us! Totally gorgeous. As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission.... The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough! So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy... This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground! It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct photo credit and it just said Winter Palace . Does anyone know? Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps? These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold? Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench, a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect! Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well? Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday.... The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling. I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet! Enchanting... On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town! Have a fab Friday Live well Veronica xxx Images ~ Pinteres and House and Leisure
