Welcome to “Come Sit By Me”! It’s our chance to catch up on the little things I’d share with you this week if we could chat on the porch over coffee (or wine depending on the time of day).
Life Lately in a Nutshell.
- The weather here in the Dallas area has been simply gorgeous with temps in the 70’s and 80’s, so I’ve taken advantage while I can and gotten out to walk in my neighborhood every day. A sure sign of spring is when the purple flowers on the redbud trees are starting to sprout:

- Last Saturday night, a group of my girlfriends and I had the opportunity to get all dressed up for a fun night of dinner, an auction, and dancing. Our friend Kathleen bought a table at the Me Squared Cancer Foundation Black and White Gala to raise money to help out breast cancer patients. (Kathleen also started the DFW chapter of the Healing Chair, which loans breast cancer mastectomy patients reclining lift chairs to aid in their recovery.)

Words to Get Through the Week.

Pretty Pictures, Yummy Recipes, and Things I Just Want to Spend Money On.
This kitchen is the perfect blend of timeless elegance and fresh personality! The soft blue cabinetry accented with warm brass and crisp marble, feels effortlessly classic, while the unexpected pop of sage green in the pendant lights adds a touch of freshness and style.

Speaking of classic, take a look at this beautifully detailed aviary temple jar. It may be pricey, but it would be a timeless investment piece to add a sophisticated touch to any space.

This Mediterranean platter is a beautiful balance of fresh flavors and vibrant color. Creamy hummus, juicy tomatoes, and briny olives come together with crisp pita and fragrant herbs for a simple yet irresistibly delicious appetizer.

This oversized leather tote is a nice mix of style and function. It’s roomy enough for lots of getaway essentials and simply chic—because who says practical can’t look great?

This home is the perfect mix of old-world charm and fresh, modern style. Thoughtful updates keep its history intact while adding just the right touch of sophistication to make it feel both timeless and totally livable. Those walls!

Can you tell me the kitchen cabinet color of paint?
Hi Faye! I wish I could— it’s beautiful isn’t it? This is just an inspiration photo I ran across on the internet from that interior design company’s portfolio. Sorry I can’t help!
