Interiors Inspired by the Elements of Nature


Earth.  Water.  Wind.  Fire.
I stand 
Enthralled by the unrivaled perfection,
Humbled by the awesome power,
Inspired by the exquisite beauty...
Of this planet we call home.
                                                       ~ Wendi

  Earth:  Its ruggedly handsome texture, harmonious hues and time-worn warmth embrace our interior world with its strong and solid grasp, quietly revealing its depth and character.

Water:  Placid and peaceful perfection in shimmering shades of blue loveliness, its sense of eternal solace envelops our surroundings in a seductive cloak of luminous serenity.

Wind:  Ethereal white light swirling amidst the infinitesimal aura of sultry silver, its heavenly hues imbue our homes with a lyrical and awe-inspiring elegance.

Fire:  The amber silhouette of liquid lightening reflects the amorous rapture of its spellbinding dance, deliciously wrapping our spaces in rich and lustrous warmth.

The ancient majesty of wood and stone... the seductive mystery of our sparkling seas... the hushed melody of a stormy sky... the alluring magic of heaven's starlight... the world surrounds us with infinite and awesome inspiration.

Search no further than the exquisite elements of nature to create your very own unique and beautiful sense of style.

My 50th Design Story and an Exciting New Chapter



Over the last seven months, Classic Chic Home has grown from an interesting pastime to becoming an integral part of my life.

I'm always eager to open my site and view the new comments left by my readers, respond to their emails, develop new friendships, follow my favorite blogs, and challenge myself to research and write my next design story.

When I work on my little blog I feel inspired, exhilarated, and very much at home.  It's a chance to explore my love of beautiful design...

But, one of its greatest gifts has been the rediscovery of my Deep Passion for Writing.



"Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing."
- Albert Einstein


With the overwhelming support and encouragement from family, friends and fellow bloggers, I've decided to start an entirely new chapter in my life.

By 2012, I'll be launching Words on a Window - an e-writing service for blogs and websites - as the initial step in my professional writing career.


"You don't write because you want to say something.
You write because you have something to say."
- Anonymous


I never imagined that starting this little blog would open my life to so many exciting opportunities.  But, as they say...  


I hope you've enjoyed reading my first 50 Design Stories, and that they've helped inspire you to create a home that's reflects your own Beautiful Sense of Style.
