Musings on the Luxe Life

September 26, 2025 · In: Interior Design, Weekend Guide

Woohoo!  It’s FriYAY!!  I’m sitting in my velvet robe and plush fluffy slippers and I can’t wait for the weekend ahead of us!  I’m so excited because we’ve got a fun morning planned with our Landon who loves the tradition of picking up breakfast before going to school in the morning.  I cherish these moments so much! We’ve also got a movie night on the agenda because HOPEFULLY it is going to rain.  I know.  I’m one of the few people who loves rainy days, but they feel like such a treat!  Gray days when the clouds cast shadows and the candles flicker amongst them?  An excuse to stay in bed and read books and take a long, hot bath?  Sign me up!  Baking in the kitchen and feeling all the warmth and love while a pitter patter of rain hits the windows?  Can it get any better?  

I can’t wait to see you all for our Amazon live this weekend, too!  It truly is a treat to spend time with you all, to share so many stories and laugh together.  I have a captive audience who want to see what craziness I’ve been up to in the house this week?  Hahaha!  I know you guys are friends!  You are a treasure!  My life is so full!  

These moments with the ones we love are the real luxuries of life.  I think about them every day!  It’s so much fun when we get to be a bit pampered, too, isn’t it?  A spritz of perfume, amazing sheets and a fluffy bed to climb into?  They are the icing on the cake of life.

So, I hope you find many ways to pamper yourself this weekend and that, as always, your life is full of so much love, joy, and happiness!  xxV

Comment HOME to get the links! 🖤

It’s so easy, especially nowadays when we are bombarded by so many images of home coming at us at the speed of light, to really slow ourselves down and ask this simple question, “What makes a house a home?” And if we dare to ask one more… “What is your idea of a dream home?”

To me, I immediately dive into the feelings a home gives us, the way it makes us feel.  It must be warm.  But how do we achieve that?  Through the little things, like candlelight flickering, blankets tossed on the sofa which seem to be inviting us to snuggle.  There should be a fire going in the fireplace and a basket with extra wood just waiting to keep it going.  The smell of wood burning and pinecones and twigs effortlessly filling bowls and vessels (and when needs must, a candle to help create the smell of all these things.)

We will need a tray of warm steaming drinks and everyone’s favorite snacks, a cake baking in the oven, and jazz music playing in the background. 

The beds are full of fluffy pillows, the garden overflowing with herbs (and if I had my dream it would be almost time to pick the pumpkins while the roses make their last great stand.)

There are bubbles almost overflowing from a hot bath, silk pajamas awaiting afterwards, and fluffy slippers to slide into…

Laughter.  There’s always laughter and love echoing throughout the walls, even as everyone says good night and kisses each other on the cheeks and takes time to thank God for another beautiful and magical day.

That’s what a dream home is to me.  And we build it one day at a time, setting the stage for love and laughter to exist.  That’s a dream worth living for, a life worth working for.  And one that I hope we all get to have.
