There’s a lot I know – and a ton I don’t. Here’s some questions to ponder with me.
Tips, Hints & Pointers
Our homes never looks as good as when company arrives. Or as worse as just a few hours before. Here’s my “fluffing” routine, as I refer to it. Be sure the bathroom is fresh. This means wiping down the water marks around the sink, tidying up and providing fresh towels and a full roll of […]
It’s Not All Smoke and Mirrors My first assumption was, when flipping through shelter and home magazines, that nothing was “real”. Objects were dropped in at will, computers applied the magic wand tool to anything that didn’t show well. Cords and switches were scratched out. Not the case, well, usually.

Let’s face it, regular ‘ole foam cushions are basic. And admittedly it’s my job to shed light on things you never knew you needed until I tell you so. But if you suffer from back pain, have trouble getting out of your seat or have mild to severe OCD, you can stop reading. Foam cushions are probably […]

No room is completely styled without an essential symphony of pillows. It’s a key opportunity to pull together all the colors and textures that the furnishings, curtains and wall color are built upon. Except it’s hard to get right and of course it brings out our inner OCD. The Basics Starting from scratch, I find that the perfect formula […]
