We have butterflies of all colors & kinds and the perfect view of it from our living room window, where I planted a little lavender garden that they seem to love too.
Here's one I took a blurry picture of this morning:
{Love her!!}
It feels almost like we're outside when we're inside and it just makes me so happy to have that little bit of beautiful life around the house. In the evenings we take the boys around to visit the butterflies & it's so relaxing.
The butterfly bush also has such pretty blooms that I love to bring inside. Here's a little arrangement I picked for our clients earlier this week in their new dining room:
And a little more of a peek into the finished dining room with my clients' new little monkey prints:
It's the little things that make life feel good. As we try to get through this insanely busy time, I'm really trying to stop and take it in. Wish me luck with this, I need it right now!!! And you too!!

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

I too have a gorgeous butterfly bush and we had a beautiful butterfly on it just yesterday. I love overgrown butterfly bushes. There's just something about them...
Hi Lauren
In my garden, I'm seeing a lot of butterflies around our gladioli, So beautiful to watch.
