Nursery Progress

I'm so excited to share the latest in our nursery progress.  So far the room has really come together, and I have enjoyed seeing my vision come to life.  I had ordered this Quadrille fabric and had Sally of the Etsy shop Tuft Love Fabric make it into a bumper.  I couldn't recommend her shop highly enough. I think it turned out so beautifully!  She really did such an amazing job, it's impeccably sewn, and I love how it looks in the crib:

The crib sheet is from Serena & Lily.

Bedroom Retreats with Arcadian Lighting

Today I have a guest post from Arcadian Lighting showcasing some gorgeous bedroom retreats:

Hi! I’m Joanna, a blogger for Arcadian Lighting, a blog and website for interior designs and lighting fixtures. I love my job. I get to scour the web to find decorating ideas and images of beautiful rooms to share with blog readers like you. Thank you Travelmoon for allowing me to share!

In today’s hectic world, we all need a place where we can escape to let go of the stress and tension of the day. A well-appointed bedroom can be just the remedy you need. Plush bedding and seating, soothing colors and soft flooring can all go a long way to help you relax and renew. Take a look at some of our favorite bedroom retreats.

Enveloped in gorgeous turquoise, this bedroom makes a perfect getaway from worldly worries. A mirrored bed reflects the color beautifully, and a sparkling chandelier adds an extra bit of glamour.

Plush white bedding make this eclectic space inviting. The headboard offers just enough padding to lean against to read a novel or surf the web.

The softest pink, from floor to ceiling, invites one to take a break and lounge on this stylish bed. The tufted headboard adds a luxurious touch.

Soothing blue and gray create the perfect palette in this glamorous bedroom. Can’t you just imagine kicking off your shoes and jumping into this comfy bed? The dusky blue glass lamp is the perfect color for this room, too.

Ornate, yet humble, this space feels like a room in a country estate. A lovely little sitting area provides the perfect spot to relax with a good book or visit with family.

A dynamic décor is softened by the plushest of beds. The bedroom’s pattern and texture makes a bold statement while the soft gray walls are relaxing.

Soft teal walls and light blue furnishings work together to provide a peaceful setting. Does this room inspire any design ideas for your bedroom retreat?

A glamorous bedroom by designer Tobi Fairley makes us want to take a break and breathe deeply for a moment or two of pure relaxation.

Is your bedroom a glamorous escape from the world? If not, I hope this post has inspired a few changes! Check out Arcadian Lighting's blog for fresh inspirations every day! (Images: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Thanks Joanna for all of the beautiful inspiration!

American Soldiers Hated Waffen SS Prisoners.....

WW2. The first impression that comes to our minds is of brave American soldiers fighting and defeating the 'bad' German soldiers......May be it is the power of American propaganda.... But sadly the truth is never so black and white. American soldiers too acted bestially against captured German soldiers, especially those from the Waffen SS....

Long before the Nuremberg Trials even began, the allies looked upon the Waffen SS as a criminal organization. They also happened to be the most determined adversaries of the allied forces, and offered the most resistance.

Allied casualties were generally much higher whenever they were thrown into combat opposite seasoned SS troops. Consequently the SS were both feared and admired for their military prowess. The allies feared that the SS would continue to offer armed underground resistance to the occupational authorities, therefore they determined to thoroughly disband and discredit this able military force before the eyes of not only the world, but of the German people as well. Consequently, the members of the SS received the most brutal treatment at the hands of the allied forces. Often accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the allies sought to expunge the very memory of this elite Nazi formation. The truth of the matter is that the Waffen SS was no more criminal than any other fighting unit, allied OR axis, and the treatment it’s members received at the hands of the allies was unjust and often criminal. Since SS members were stationed at concentration camps as guards, the allies took advantage of this fact and used it to condemn the members of the SS as a whole. Of course it should go without saying that simply because someone was a guard at a camp does not mean he or she was a criminal.

Monday Escapes: Travel Wish List 2012

At the beginning of the year, instead of making a resolution I will probably not end up keeping, I prefer to dream and plan into reality a fantasy travel spot.  Last year, these were my picks (I made it to Belize and Guatemala-2 out of the 4).  This year will be much more challenging with a baby on the way, but I am hoping I can make it to one of these places:

1. Sweden

I don't know why watching the new American version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo makes me want to visit Stockholm, as it appears downright cold and ominous in the film (I wrote about this phenomenon last year).  But in general, I have a strong draw towards wanting to visit many places in Northern Europe, and this tops my list.  And let's not forget the design and fashion influence that this country wields, which I would love to see in person.

2. Charleston, South Carolina

I don't want to ignore all of the wonderful places I have yet to see in the U.S., so I try to make it to a new U.S. city once a year as well.  Charleston has been on my radar for quite some time for the ambience, restaurants, and great shopping I have read and heard about it from bloggers and friends who have visited.

3. Caribbean

We always like to spend time at a new beach locale once a year.  There is nothing like a rejuvenating trip to a white sand beach with an abundance of palm trees to help you revive and recharge.

4. San Diego

Just so I'm not setting myself up to fail, I will add San Diego to this list.  I already have multiple trips in mind for friend's weddings and baby celebrations I plan on attending!

What places are on your travel wish list?

Vileda Yılbaşı Hediyeleri

26 Aralık'ta akşamı canım arkadaşım Tarih84 aradı. Dedi ki; 'Sevdacım bak Facebookta firmaların düzenledikleri şahane yılbaşı çekilişleri var. Süper hediyeler veriyorlar'. Şöyle düşündüm acaba benim bu konuda bir şansım olabilir mi? Tarih84 'dene şansını ne kaybedersin ki' dedi.

Ben de onun sesine daha doğrusu onun 'şansa' olan inancına inandım. Böylece 28 Aralık'ta Vileda'nın Facebook üzerinden düzenlediği, bir fotoğraf içine gizlediği Vileda ürünlerini doğru bilmeye yönelik olan yarışmasına katıldım. Çekilişle doğru cevabı veren 10 kişiye Vileda yılbaşı hediye paketi hediye ettiler.

Hediye paketim 31 Aralık sabahı elime ulaştı. Vileda kırmızısı renginde şeker bir kutuda geldi hediyem. Hemen kutumu açtım ve hediyelerime baktım. Kutunun içinden çıkanlar şunlar:

* Vileda Mikrofiber Konfor Temizlik Bezi

* Vileda Power Tırnak Koruyuculu Bulaşık Süngeri

* Vileda Temizlik Bezi

* Vileda Süper Mocio Yer Silme 

Benim şansım arkadaşım Tarih84 ün bana haber vermesiyle kapıyı araladı. Siz de olur olmaz demeyin bazen hem sevdiklerinize hem de içgüdülerinize kulak verin. Kim bilir belki de şans o kadar da uzakta değildir. 

Şimdi diyen olacaktır bunun şansla ne alakası var. O zaman ben de şunu söylerim. Bence kazancın küçüğü büyüğü olmaz. Bazen para, bazen eşya bazen de insan kazanılır şans yoluyla...

Bol şanslı günler dilerim.

Sevgiler.

Grab a Flute

Happy New Year everyone! And goodbye to 2011! Instead of grabbing a beer and looking what happened last week, let’s get in the mood and grab a glass of bubbly. Also, since this week has been filled with Christmas and things like that, I think we’ve had enough photos and recaps of the last week! I am going to take a different tack, and talk a little about photography.

As you all know, my posts are peppered with photos. I’ve always loved taking photos, but my “career” really took off in 2010, when I started a 365 project. I did not post a photo for each day, but it did help me learn that there is beauty all around us, not just when we are on vacation in Mexico. I still take a photo almost every day, and I find it a great way to record memories and to open your eyes and look around a little rather than taking things for granted.

In 2011, I decided to take it down a notch, to a 52 week project. Again, I slacked on posting photos each day, but once again, I DID take a photo pretty much every day! I also took an online course, 12 Weeks to Better Photos, which helped hone my skills even more. I look back on the last 2 years of photos (and beyond) and realize that I have improved a lot.

But what do you DO with all the photos!? Obviously, I post a lot of them here, but there are so many more that never see the light of day. My addition and computer skills aren’t that great, but I think I took somewhere around 25,000 photos this year. That’s 69 photos a day! So, for my own satisfaction and yours, I am pulling some of them out of the archives, for A Year in Photos, 2011. Post Card Style. Got your Champagne? Okay, let’s go.

Also, in 2012, I am happy to say that I am doing another photography project! I will talk more about it soon, as it is still in the works. I am very excited to share it with all of you!

Did you do a 365 / 52 (or any photo) project this year?  Have you ever not reached your goal but still learned something from the process?
