The Tastemakers: Part One

In our last few blogs we've gone to Graceland and Hitchcockland. The vacation is over and we are ready to get back to work as Tastemakers. Today we begin a series... things that make us happy. Whatever happens in your day, whatever happens in your life, look around, you'll find things that make you happy, too. And now, the first in our series The Happiness of Our Style Inc.

Canine couches.
How can this face not make you happy?

Don't make me choose...the dog or the chaise.

Bodies of water.
A lake view from Mom's deck...

and the sea view from Beavertail point.

Favorite places to read.
The sun room...

and the backyard.

Another favorite place.
 A framed mirror, original artwork and reflective privacy...

can turn a small bathroom into a spa.

Talented friends.
From the sublime...

to the ridiculous.

Fancy footwork.
My new moccasins make my dogs jump.

He doesn't need moccasins.

When life tells you to fasten your seat-belts, do...

 but don't let anyone burst your bubble.
