Kara Mann Designs: Pleasant Sophistication


Kara Mann Designs was founded in 2005 with the design principle that ‘Life should be lived; your environment is where it should be enjoyed.’ With that in mind, the firm has created so many lovely interior spaces that exude pleasant sophistication. What I like about their projects is that they all have elegance and warmth that we long to have in our own homes plus their interior spaces always has interesting pieces of wood furniture that never fails to captivate my senses.

A Touch of Pink


Pink… a color that signifies sweetness, the color for young girls, and yes it can also be a color of love…not as intense as red but more soft, silent and charming. For most of us ladies, pink is the color we love when we were still little girls, the color our mothers favor for our dresses, ribbons, school things and other girly items. As we matured, some of us moved on to favor other colors than the girly old pink but still once in a while we get to see pink items that melt our hearts and deep inside us we once again feel how good it is to see one familiar color from our yesteryears that is so dear to us that reminds us of happy girly days and playful times. A touch of pink in our homes can be a good thing, it may even brighten a dull day and add a little whimsy to our home life.

Would you take this Tudor Style Mansion?



It is celebrity home tour today… and it is Mel Gibson’s multi-million dollar mansion we are going to check out. This luxurious 16,000 sq ft Tudor-style mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut is on the market right now. It has 15 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, a tennis court, a private pond, a landscaped driveway, a soaring cathedral ceiling, formal gardens, a terrace pool, greenhouse, stable, staff houses, log cabin, and even a maze. Hmmm… I say too big for my family, we are only three you know. But although this mansion is not quite my style, I still enjoy looking at its grandiosity. Is this your kind of a dream home? What can you say about owning a house as huge and as luxurious as this one?
