A little icing on top for New Year’s Eve…
Yet another incredible lit à la Polonaise…
Same hand-painted walls from yesterday’s post…
Love the mood, swags of fabric, ten foot tall ceilings,
crystal and candle chandelier, and deft mix of blue prints…
The last muddy footprints are being swept from my home…
the random bits of tile, joint compound, primer, pernicious
amounts of dust and debris removed from the rooms and
hallways abutting the master bath. Frost on the rooftops
but clear and bright and finally left on my own to do the
last bit of de-cluttering and painting and polishing.
Heaven!
Charming antique wallpaper trimmed trunk…
and a floppy Spring hat…
Looking forward to a bright and shiny New Year for us all!

Trish,
You’ve just described one of my favorite “days” when you can putter around, tidying up and doing a little rearranging. Have fun and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Karen
Happy 2011 to you and yours. And a huge thank you for your wonderful blog which I so enjoy!
Thank you Debra! Hoping to have many “finished” photos for you in the new year!

Hello Fay…Happy New Year!
It rained all night here and I awoke to the sound of thunder in December in Northern IL! The rain washed away all the snow and I can see the earth. *happy sigh*
A happy and healthy New Year to you and yours!
Hi Andie. Love a good patch of earth! Holds all sort of magic within!
Thanks for another beautiful post to end the year. You have provided so much inspiration. After the NYT had some dreadful image on the front page, I changed my Safari opening page to Trouvais, and I’ve changed my wallpaper to a peony.
Finishing up your new bathroom — what a great way to end the year. Happy New Year!
Thank you Jane! I’m touched! It’s been very chilly out here…a good omen for this year’s peony crop!
I just finished taking down our Christmas tree and vacuuming up the pine needles so we can start the New Year off with a semi clean slate. Thank you for a wonderful blog that has always been one of my favorites. Wishing you and your family Trish the very best for the coming year…..Happy New Year!
Debra,
I neeeeeeeeeeed this room! Thank you for a year of wonderful posts. Have a great day. Happy New Year.
Best wishes for NEW YEAR’S EVE Trish!
As we say in German: “Einen guten Rutsch in’s Neue Jahr”
which means – ‘a good slide into the New Year’

Beautiful post to end this year…hopefully, 2011 will be better for a lot of people. Thank you for your beautiful messages and photography…they bring so much Joy to all of us.
Happy New Year to you and your dear readers.
Hi Judy..thank you for your lovely comment. I have a good feeling about next year. And always love an excuse for a fresh start!
Dear Trish,what happiness for me to see all that pattern!! Made it a little easier to deal with all my patterned wallpaper and fabric from the 90’s! I have loved viewing your blog so much, and want to thank you again for so much inspiration and lovliness always. Wishing you a truly happy New Year, you have made so many of us the same. Nella XXOO
I always say you cannot go forward without leaving something behind…& I’ve found this has applied to each stage of my life. Now I want to leave cluttter behind. Though I love bibelots I’ve craving sleekness too. Is that possible?
And, I don’t want to leave this year without telling you how much I appreciate your fine attention to detail, and I am looking forward to knowing you better in 2011. Cheers !!
So beautiful!!
Trish,
Thank you for always taking me on a little visual vacation! It’s so much fun.
Karen
Where DO you find this stuff to keep us constantly entertained and inspired! I’m so glad to have met you this year and look forward to a lot more of your pretty discoveries in 2011!
Last day of the year – and of course you will provide us with just wonderful eye candy! You never disappoint Ms Trish!
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, Fun & Creative 2011!
Love to you and yours.

Well, you put me in a blue mood. Of course, I love the pattern. Strange while not be a lover of blue by itself, can’t get enough blue patterns. I have started the cooking for our year’s end’s feast…and if things go a dicey as that peanut sauce thingy did a few minutes ago, I may start the drinking. As for weather: yesterday in the 60s. Trudged out the water hose for the new plants (down 6″ of rain). Forecast no over night freezing. Disconnected hose, but did not bring in as I was going to water this AM. Woke up to thunder, lightening and SNOW! My hose is one of those water retracting gizmos… frozen to the ground like a tongue on frozen pipe…SHEEEESH! Happy new year, Madame Trouvais. Looking forward to the new bath reveal!
Hi Trish.. lovely blue rooms… I’ve become so infatuated with blue lately, too.. nice getting your house back to yourself, no?…. wishing you a Happy and Joyous New Year…maureen

Absolutely stunning. For the people out there who say “less is more”, this space is to the contrary. Love it and thank you for sharing!
Happy, happy new year, dear Trish,
Can you imagine the life one could/would live among the swags, swirls and sensual ambiance?
Thank you for your gorgeous blog. You are a treasure.
