Breakfast with Royal Doulton Canton...

...because I can. I spent money on these dishes and I'm going to enjoy them!

 

 Can you tell I LOVE soft-boiled eggs in egg cups? And to make it all even better, this entire breakfast of eggs, bacon, tea, toast (with butter and jam) and coconut custard was SIX grams of net carbs. Since tea and toast with jam are like, my favorite things ever, and they are NOT keto friendly, you have to find ways to get around it. Sami's Bakery, is just that. Their bread is TWO carbs per slice. 

And when you toast it, you cannot tell it's not really "bread." Color me one happy Keto mama! 

And yes, I bust these dishes out once in a while. Why not? 

Life is short. 

Everyone Needs a Nook

Most homes these days are designed with a "breakfast room." Mine is not an exception. I love having breakfast here in the mornings. The light is always ideal, and it's the brightest spot in the house. 

I call it the "Breakfast Nook." I think everyone would benefit from a room like this. Lots of windows, and lots of light. I chose to decorate mine simply, with neutral colors like the rest of my home. This room is warmer than my gray tones, with brown and cream. The pedestal table is Canadel; one I've wanted for a while. I just can't get into square tables lately. Round is more pleasing for me. 

I've been through a lot of decorating phases. Red and dark brown leather, blue and cream and brown, and now, it's gray and white and cream. But simple. Everything is about simplicity for me, lately. Except for my china, of course. Transferware is NEVER simple or clean. It's farmhouse-ey and stuffy and I LOVE it. That part of me will never change. ;-)
