Be Part of the Tiny House Craze…Here’s How:

If you’ve flipped through your cable channels lately and stopped at the home and design shows, you’ve likely come across a new movement sweeping the nation — The Tiny House movement.

Wordless Wednesday: Decorating a Mantle for Fall

My mom and I were at it again — hitting a big Michael’s half-price sale recently to accomplish a Fall motif for my mantle on a budget. We purchased two (2) six-foot leaf garlands and about three decorative Fall foliage inserts for greens and texture.  We filled the candlesticks with amber-colored glass beads and a […]

Our Gray-te New Dining Room

I just couldn’t take the banality of our dining room anymore. It had great features with its spacious size, good light, pre-existing moldings and hardwood floors.
