I love Spring.
New beginnings and a fresh start on many levels. It’s a season that has possibility in the air…people making plans for Summer, the days get longer and there is a decided feeling of “I made it through another Winter…thank God!”
It’s the best time of the year to make changes…in your life and your home and surroundings…paint the walls, spray paint your cocktail table, add a bright and beachy woven rug to your floor…what the &%##@…paint the floors!! (I love painted floors!!) But wait, there's more!

Hi Everyone!
We are now in the thick of it. I thought that in light of the stresses of the holiday season (Just read the paper), people also tend to let the decorating get away from them…not to say that they forget to do it, but they make their homes look like someone else lives there or try to copy something from a design magazine (Oh yeah…I fell for the gold dipped gourds from Martha Stewart’s magazine…and zillions of dollars later…you get the picture!). But wait, there's more!

Hi Everyone and again..Happy Holidays!
The holidays are here again…argh!
With the prospect of people in your home for parties, dinners and holiday gatherings or just you looking around at your space, I’d like to address a design issue that we’ve all seen, have in our own homes or just plain makes you have a migraine…artwork that’s hung too high on the wall as to make you feel like you are in Alice in Wonderland and getting shorter all the time! Or as I like to say…Hung just like Grandma did it! But wait, there's more!

I am thankful. Not just on this day, Thanksgiving, but on every day since March 29th of this year. A date that is burned into my memory as both the most horrendous day of my life and at the same time, the most joyous.
This year, quite frankly, I will usher out with a big smile on my face and a sense of utter relief.
This year, on March 29th But wait, there's more!

As the holiday season gets off to a sputtering start…and yes, I say sputtering after a year of financial ruin, real estate melt downs and corporate greed like we’ve never seen before…you can still find the holiday spirit…I promise. It’s found in our local merchants and on the next corner.
I was watching television the other night and a commercial came on touting But wait, there's more!
