I’m a little behind on decorating my office. Well really, the office is pretty much decorated the holdup is the closet in the office. It is full of stuff and needs to be cleaned out and organized. So I’ve found myself thinking about other things to do, primarily I’ve been thinking about the living room. Here’s…

Make it Gold!
Yesterday I mentioned that I had a project to share with you. If you read Janell’s blog, Isabella & Max Rooms, then you have heard of Rub ‘n Buff. It’s a miracle worker. I’ve had this mirror for awhile. It had a copper finish, which was okay but didn’t really go with anything else in…
Orange Interiors
I remember when I was a kid, for some reason it was a big no-no to like orange. But I am a huge fan of orange now. I have a couple of orange chairs in my living room that were originally in my parent’s house. I’ve been thinking about adding more orange to the room…
Home Office/Studio
Last week, I wrote about my resolution to re-decorate my house. I’ve decided to start with my office/studio since I’m working from home for part of the week. Over all, things are pretty much decorated. I really want to get things in order and create a space that’s easy to maintain and work in. Here…
Preparing for the New Year – Resolution #3: Decorate the House
Better Homes & Gardens via 6th Street Design School On my other blog, Leap of Faith, I posted about my goal to clear out the clutter in my house. The basic idea is that I want to get rid of the stuff that I don’t use or love. You know, all those things you have…
Light Fixtures
This weekend it occurred to me that there is not a single light fixture in my house that I really love. There are a few that are okay and a few that I hate; but none are fixtures that I would buy if I were shopping for one right now. I would like to gradually begin replacing…
Ceiling Fans
I know that on most decorating shows, the first item the decorator removes from a room is the ceiling fan. But where I live, our high temperatures have been 100° or above for 17 days and counting this summer. So ceiling fans are a necessity. My ceiling fan in my living room has not worked…
Dream Kitchen
The Kitchen in its Current State I bought my house a little over nine years ago. Built in 1940, I think it has character. The previous owners redid the kitchen. The cabinets were purchased from a swanky custom furniture store and the tile is a tumbled limestone. While it’s nice, it’s not really my style. I’ve…
Painting the House
My house is in desperate need of paint. It’s been looking pretty bad for a couple of years but I’ve been putting off painting mainly because I can’t decide what color to paint it. While walking my dogs this morning I walked through the neighborhood studying the color of each house and considering what I…
