  Hi there....This morning was one of it's kind as i was sipping my coffee by my kitchen window, it was wonderful to see out side the crystal clear blue sky without any fleck of clouds as far as i could see. That was amazing. The  birds were fluttering under the blue sky and the  morning air was still chill and that initiated me to do a coffee setting in the bed room for the blog. Naturally the setting is with Fall colours and with bohemian print bed spread. For Fall inspired bed, warm colours with block printed spreads with bohemian touch designs creates a cozy feel for the feel of coziness.  Please visit nap on the porch Please visit Our Hopeful Home Please visit French Enthreal
