It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful
Once again, we have boring white walls in this rental. But look at those wonderful floors. I love them. Unfortunately, they give the walls a pinkish hue, what huge challenge.

Plates, architectural pieces, mirrors that reflect something pretty, and layering are all tricks that I use to help warm up bare walls. This is extra important when you are renting and have plain white [...]
Our old house had a big open foyer. In reality, it wasn’t large enough to put much furniture in but I wanted to take advantage of the extra square footage. When we first moved in I just put my favorite white dresser in the foyer. Loved it. That dresser looks great anywhere.After a while we [...]
This was left in the comments yesterday and I cannot get it out of my head: For the purchases that don’t work, and do not get returned, I have found a good solution. I get together with some girl friends once a year and we shop each others impulse purchases. Whatever doesn’t go home with [...]
This birdcage is one of my favorite things. I don’t have a bird. I don’t need a big huge 3 foot tall bird cage. I didn’t wake up one morning saying “this is the day, I shall buy me a needless birdcage”. I was out, I fell in love, I had the cash. I bought [...]
