Here are three rooms I would like to lounge in... The Master Sitting Room designed by Saxony Street Design Group...
The Sun Room designed by Mark Cutler Design, Inc...
And of course... I would love to lounge by the pool designed by Arcadia Pool Construction and Design...
How about these fashions via Wall Street Journal-WSJ magazine for poolside...
After lounging by the pool (touring the home) we ALWAYS go out to lunch to a lovely restaurant... this year we went to Caffe Opera for YUMMY food and a PINK Cosmo was pour for moi...

Bonjour mon amie. I love touring designer showcase homes, and the one you visited in Pasadena certainly looks lovely! How nice that you and your mother take the tour and then go to lunch. And how nice that you chose to share that event with us just in time for Mother's Day. Merci! ~Arleen

Hi Fifi-
J'adore the Pasadena Showcase Tour. Years and years ago, my team's work was showcased and I had the best time! I still keep the brochure with me as a wonderful souvenir. Happy Mere's Day!

Lovely interiors and I am going to have to hit the gym if I am going to wear one of those swimsuits.
I love Pasadena!!
Wow, the detailing in the sunroom is stunning!!
Thanks for the little tour :-)
BTW, your painting of Julia's house is fantastic!! I'm sure she'll cherish it forever :-)

Oh lovely. I have been to a couple of those Pasadina showcase homes. Thanks for sharing. Nice to have such a fun ritual to remember each year.
What a fabulous treat and tradition! I wish I lived closer! I say that a lot...but you just have such cool stuff in CA! plus...you live there!
Hope the bubbly is helping your toe!
Happy Mother's Day!

Lovely. It's the pool for me... and could you arrange a cocktail poolside, too?
That was a house? My house would fit into one room.
Whew, they'd be no way I'm getting in a bathing suit like that. I hope I win a painting from you Fifi!
Hi Fifi,
What a lovely tradition for you and your Mother.
Love the showhome and the Sun room looks so inviting and beautiful.
The Chanel bathing suit is so fabulous.
Hope you and your Mother have a very happy Mother's Day and weekend.
Hugs

Hi Fifi!
I go to the Pasadena Showcase house every year too! Last year I went on Mother's Day:)
I just love it!!! The !10,000+ square foot homes and grounds each year are amazing!
I may have walked right past you! OMGoodness:)
Have a blessed Pink Mother's day weekend!

Bonjour Fifi and Bonne Fete a Mamman! Hope you enjoy it as well.
Your entries are all so sunny and warm. The house is GORGOEUS!
Now why don't they sell houses like this, all decorated and furnished, in real life. It's like living in a hotel. (sigh)
Enjoy your family and leave painting for another day.It won't run away :)
What a lovely Mothers Day...I could spend hours in the Sunroom.
Cathleen
What a wonderful tradition!
Love the WSJ images, too!

Such a lovely Mother's Day tradition! Beautiful photos! Happy Pink Saturday, Fifi!
Luscious, simply luscious ~ everything!!!!!!
The sunroom, would be my sanctuary! So lovely. What an especially fun time with your mother.Makes me miss my mom even more today. The photo of your boy's playing in the mud was priceless. A very special Mother's Day to you!
I could live like that very easily, Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Mothers Day too, Char
Hi Fifi :)
What a treat that you have my birthplace's home tour for your post! Born in Pasadena, but lived in Arcadia for 16 of my young years, but you knew that ;)
The home is beautiful!!
Happy Mother's Day!!

Did someone say Martini Bar? Just stopping by to say Happy Mother's Day, Fifi! Now back to the porch for me, a little daydreaming. Talk to you next week.
xo~Tracie
It's all fabulous. Happy Pink Saturday.
And, Happy Mother's Day.
We do the same thing! Except thuis year we had to postpone until next weekend...it's a 22 room tudor-style home in Rumson, NJ. I am sure once I go through it I will want to go home and clean and organize and upgrade. That's what typically happens. :-)
And I LOVE the portrait you did for Julia. And what a great giveaway idea...it's a match made in blogland!
Hi, just stopping by from SITS! I really like your blog!
