I am taking a chance today. And, as always, I hope you love it.

Today, I am going to start a new category of posts that share a completely different side of me and my passions – not just my passion for decor, but my overall passion for “living with beauty,” and what that means to me.

From time to time, here on Fieldstone Hill, I will be sharing some “Living with Beauty” posts that cover the following:

Fashion

Whole Food Recipes

Makeup

and

Taking care of ourselves

Basically, these posts will be born out of what I actually do in my own life, and the approach to beautiful living that I try to walk daily.

And like everything else on this blog, there will always be elements of both the practical AND the glamorous.

I have no desire to change the overall feel of Fieldstone Hill Design. This is an interiors and style blog, and that will not change. That is the vision I have for this here humble blog, so interiors and style it shall remain.

But the fact of the matter is, there is much more to life than interior design.  There is so much more to STYLE than interior design. And there is much more to ME than design. I have a desire to be authentic in this corner of the blogosphere, and I am excited about sharing other areas of my life with you, even if it is in snippets.

I think that “Living with Beauty” really means:

living intentionally,

living by design,

living with vision,

living with healthy choices,

and living with an awareness of our place in this world.

 

  I am excited to get started. How about you??

I love gold.

Gold and Gild. and Gilt. and Gilded. and so forth.

And I have been gilding things lately.

So, I hereby dedicate this post to one of the most amazing visual delights to ever grace the eyes: Gold!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Truly. Is there anything more glamorous than gold? 

What do these images inspire you to add to your home? Or your wardrobe? Or your neckline?

Where could you add a bit of “gold and gild” to your life??

{ *** update *** A reader let me know, quite graciously, that the gorgeous gal below is not actually Sophia Loren. Instead, it is Guess model, Line Gost, photographed for Guess by Marciano by none other than Bryan Adams (yes. THAT Bryan Adams). Sophia Loren was the muse. How amazing is that?  Now I have even more hope that I could look like Sophia….. }

Inspired To :: Love my Italian heritage even more. Remember that comfort and glamour DO go hand-in-hand. Wear black eyeliner and mascara. Have beautiful brows. Go barefoot. Wear big, full, round curls. Dress up, but never forget, that it is all about the face and eyes. Remind myself often of Sophia’s words: “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.” Believe it. Find my inner Sophia Loren.

 

So. What does this picture inspire you to do……

What are you Inspired To?

This glamorous office is a high-dollar look. But with a keen eye, and careful study of the space, you can bring some of these {or all} fantastic elements into your own home using more creativity than dollars. Today’s ditto is an office/dining space by Miles Redd, and it is definitely a gorgeous dose of high-gloss glamour. Wouldn’t you love to create and design and work and dream in this space?

The list below will break down for you many of the decorating concepts that are employed in this great space. As with all of our dittos, let’s study what makes this space SO AMAZING, so that we can learn how to add more beauty to OUR homes!!!

{And, as always, I look forward to hearing from you and finding out what you would ditto, too. So, be thinking!}
