Touches of Beauty

Alexandra Stoddard, a favorite cherished writer and interior designer, convinces people that it is important to surround one's self with beauty.

Making home a place of total love and delight is not hard to do when one has lots of things that appeal to the eye, heart, and mind.

While browsing in Marshall's one day this spring, a dish detergent bottle caught my eye. 

  Seriously, a dish detergent bottle? 

 Uh huh.

Its intricate pattern is so appealing and artistic.

The citrus detergent inside, once gone, can be replaced with good ol' faithful Dawn Dish Detergent.

Next to a Mexican tile in the back-splash near the kitchen sink, it looks so cool!

A small cobalt blue colored vase with pansies rests on the windowsill above. 

Both objects are little things, small touches of beauty,  that make their own decorating statements in the kitchen.

WHAT IS ONE LITTLE THING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
